Sharon Stone Movies Banned In China

By Josh Tyler: 2008-05-28 01:23:58
Sharon Stone Movies Banned In China Brace yourselves people. I have some shocking news: Actors are idiots. Its true. Most of them got where they are through a combination of good looks, luck, and a willingness to sleep with the director. Only a scant handful of them really have any brains or talent, and Sharon Stone is most certainly not one of them.

This past weekend she proved her idiocy when she wondered aloud to the press at Cannes whether or not the recent devastating earthquake in China might not have been the result of Karma. Apparently Sharon is a big fan of My Name is Earl, and she takes the whole show a little too seriously.

It was an obviously stupid thing to say, but as the guys in our celeb section point out, worse things have been said in the face of disaster. Remember the crazy shit American fundamentalist preachers said after New Orleans? This hardly rates. Its just a stupid thing said by a stupid actress, and nobody with any sense probably cares what Sharon Stone has to say about anything.

However, its hard to blame the Chinese from being at least a little annoyed. In fact theyre so annoyed that some theaters may start refusing to show her movies. In particular, HR says the owner of one of the countrys biggest urban theater chains has avowed to ban her crap. If youre Chinese and youre bummed that you may not be able to see the latest from Sharon Stone dont be. Consider yourselves lucky. Sharon Stone hasnt made a good movie in years, and I wish someone over here in America had done this years ago. Maybe it would have saved me from Basic Instinct 2. Besides, Chinas big on banning things. They ban everything, and if they ban this itll be the first time theyve actually banned something for what might be considered a non-evil reason. Id call this huge progress. Let freedom ring.

  • To Richard:

    Honestly, this is the problem.

    I'm american, and I think what she did was incredicly stupid. No, I do not speak any other languages, but I have read enough responses to understand that what we thin of as "Karma" here in the United states isn't necessarily what it means to other cultures. I only know a fraction of anything about the culture in china, but i know enough to understand that what she said hit you hard, simply because it meant something alot more to you. In my opinion, I think english should stop taking words from other cultures and make them mean something so insignificant.

    And Richard, the problem here, is not that they're banning free speech, Its that Sharon Stone assumed that Karma was an easily tossed off word, and you Assume that as well.

    And we know what they say about assumption being the mother of all fuckups don't we.

    Remember, assuming only makes an ass out of you and Sharon Stone.
  • I have been following the debate for a few days and I am a fan of LV and Dior, but now, I got to consider my choices next time, I might just go right pass LV and Dior stores. Not because Dior did anything wrong, it is just that nasty feeling associated -for being a customer of Dior -- with the stupidity and disgrace.

    Someone there claimed that Chinese do not understand English -- she made me laugh! This remind me a small town woman never leaves her home more than 30 miles. So please stay at home, watch Basic Instinct and stop accusing others being as stupid. Everyone knows Sharon Stone is stupid, however, last year Chinese people gave her huge welcome in her trip to Shanghai and made her feeling like a queen. I would have thought that, no matter how stupid you are, you just do not turn away this type of popularity you received in China --hey, you are right in a gold mine, the only hope to pick up your hardly exist career! Now, the thing is turning right over, you are being cursed by 1.4 billion people. Who ask for it? Long life free speech! If she can have the freedom to speak that senseless nonsense,so do billions of others. She is right:"it is karma, and it has been a big lesson for me". But, please, please do not bend your head and be servant of us, we would rather use a monkey.

    For those who support Dalai Lama but do not really know what is going on behind him, please check on some websites about Tibet and learn some history before forming your opinions. Dalai is the head of a violent organization who intentionally organized anti-Olympic torch relay and the violence in Tibet. All he want is to get back to the slavery time where he is the ruler of all. By the way, Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, have you seen the drums and other stuff made with human skins in Tibet when Dalai was the ruler by then? Please go to Tibet to have a look. If you do not, search on the internet, you will find movies and documentaries made by your own people about the real Tibet half a century ago.

    For most of Americans, we understand that Sharon Stone does not represent you. We are thankful for that. Most of American people are genuine and kind hearted. Please do not let others lead you into misconception. Please come to China and have look or stay and work. We are of one family.
  • To drop a big, fashionable political name Dali lama ‘as good friend of mine’ seemed to be her main concern, she does not care how Chinese people think but how ‘interesting’ the earth quake had happened… this stupid small group in Hollywood thought that to be associated with Tibet issue will keep them under the spot light forever. Well, Chinese people should against all of there products, not just against Sharon Stone but also against all products of Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese and Richard Gere, Harrison Ford, Unman Thurman (and her father), Martin Sheen, Tim Allen and Susan Sarandon etc… What they wanted is only to shout “human right” but never even care to take a trip and look at what is the real Chinese society, what are the real Chinese people and government they were talking about? Before they do that this kind mistake will continue to take place over Chinese issues. That was why such an ignorant outburst from Sharon Stone happened; it is inhuman to talk about China’s disaster so lightly. They all shall pay for it!
  • To Mike, Paul, Judy, Ming & Peter

    My point is that this disaster has nothing to do with politics especially with Dalai or Tibet issue. My point is that Sharon, as one of charity celebrities, should NOT call this disaster a "karma" which both showed no mercy and no respect to the dead people. My point is that we are angry and hurt by such cold-blooded expressions. YES I know she has her right to express her opinions. BUT that does not mean she does not need to take respond of that.

    And I think whether and why I will go to U.S. is a totally different issue. If you guys want to talk about it, OK, let's talk. I will pursue Ph.D. in U.S. because your great country has the best education system and research environment. Many people will welcome me so if you don't want to pick me up at the airport, just do something else you like.

    Seriously I always believe we chinese students can make friend with you guys. What we need is the patience to listen to each other and try to understand each other. I kind of understand you 4, oh sorry 5 guys
    are really concerning about the freedom of speech and try your best to defend it. I appreciate that. But you know what, at this issue, what we try to defend, is merely the respect of the life, of the over 80,000 dead and millions of homeless people we loved. Think about that.
  • TO Richard:
    How can you speak these words!I think you are very stupid and you have no right to say that!Is that your "human rights"and"Free"?How laughable what you say!Do you have heart?have head?I think NO!If you have them,you have not to say what you say a moment ago!How stupid you are!I felt very ashamed for you!Most important,I don't think you are a human!
  • To Junze Deng:

    You seem a prostitute telling people how big your bottom is, how sorry people will be if they do not buy it.

    It will be a mistake if any other brands or directors sign her up. If you don't want to make a loss in your inverstment in China's market, then blacklist this woman who is careless, stupid, cold blooded. Anyway she has been cursed by 1.3 billion Chinese, that is enough for bring her bad karma in the rest of her life. One more thing to bear in mind: if anyone wishes to make money in China, please respect the nation and its people, Chinese know really well how to pay back and when to do it. It is also a good lesson for the agencies to educate your clients well, don't make them cost you the way Stone did.




  • So many chinese are screaming, threatening and chasing Sharon. What is wrong? Sharon did not say anything wrong and she was advocating the kindness. I guess what really touched these Chinese nerve are the words “Dalai” and “Tibet”, instead of “Karma”; It is just an excuse. By abusing Sharon, by banning her movies and endorsed product, these chinese are abusing the freedom of speech; abusing all of people in the free world.

    Having said that, I do not think China has ever published any Sharon’s movie; probably most are about CD or DVD. Who cares China’s banning?! Chinese make and sell illegal CD and DVD all the time anyway. Therefore, let’s say Sharon’s movies are for all of people in the world except some Chinese, how is that?

  • This is from HK Expression magazine editorial staff :
    Let us be rational and not angry, let us be wise and analytical, let us not to curse and be mean, let us spend time and strength to do better for the human race than to swear at Stone, let us study about the history of Tibet and China for knowledge and understanding before we pass judgements and voice opinions, let us not to listen to Dali Lama, the press or the Chinese Government only and follow suit, let us have the intellect and due diligence to find out about the truths on earth.

    LET US HELP ALL THE INNOCENT VICTIMS.
    LET US HAVE HUMAN WISDOM, MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL REGARDLESS OF DIFFERENT BELIEFS.
    WE ARE ALL CHILDREN OF THE EARTH.

    I am a Chinese student who will go to U.S. soon. I feel angry for what Sharon said to the media .....

    ******************
    Hi, Qian HE:

    Why do you want to come to America? you do not respect the freedom of speech; you support to punish the people who have the different opinion. You better stay in China and you are not welcome here.
  • To Qian HE:

    Hi, Qian HE:

    Do not come to America. Do not leave something you like far away from you. Stick with your banning and enjoy no Sharon around. We are sure you will see Sharon very often if you come to America and then it will be very bitter to you.

    Here we have a better solution, we vote you to be our representative to go to earthquake area and help people there build new home. Remember: Working hard there.

    Do not come to America.
  • Well you know, it’s very interesting. And then all this Banning thing happened and I thought ‘Is that Karma? when you’re not nice that the bad things happen to you?’ it was definitely a big lesson to her.
  • She is such a bitch,what happens to her is a karma.
    We dont want to see her saggy face and saggy breast again.
  • I'm a Singapore chinese, i now understand why someone says "Blondes are dumb" . Sharon stone is a bitch !! She should go fuck herself .

    People should stop the name-calling and all that, doing this will only distract us from the key issue....
    ...
    I wonder if she ever had a chance to look at the eyes of those desperate childs who lost their parents during the earthquake....will she still be saying "Is that Karma that your don't have parents anymore?".....Humanity???

    But I think I am calm enough to put this words here.
    btw I really appreciate the rational and comprehensive comment I quoted here, thank you Boggie.

    Sharon's cold-blooded and cruel words hurted us baddly and it was hardly forgivable which I hope you,
    american friends,can understand. WE LOST OVER 80000 LOVES in this disaster and 1.6 billion hearts
    are bleeding and crying. Yes we are strong enough to rescue, to fight for lives, to donate money and blood, and we
    have faith to rebuild our families. But our inside feeling are fragile and weak now. What Sharon said had
    no difference from ripping our wounds.

    Her movie and ads are banned in Beijing from what I saw today.
    This how we strike back to Sharon. I strongly support the ban whether it is official or not.

    It is really not a good time to talk about politics. If you wish to help or pray for victims in China and in Burma,
    do something smarter and nicer. If not, do not pretend to and keep quiet please.

  • Sharon Stone is a heartless coldblooded motherfucking stupid bitch. Go fuck yourself till karma comes to your doorway Stone.
  • I guess that Ms SS has already been a symbol of brain-demaged fool and unbelievble stupid.
    Before you say something, shouldn't you think about it for a sec?
    Aboslutely, Ms SS needn't, she just followed her Basic Instinct. Judging from her humanity level, maybe it's the best she could do.

    One day, MS SS, the Death koncked at your door, I believe that you will not be surprised. Cheer with the wine named "Karma" you made.
  • To mandy:
    First,I want to tell you,you can't understand Chinese forever!Many of Chinese can speak English,Japanese,French and so on!But you~How many langues you can speak!?Only English?haha...
    Second,I think Sharon Stone is very stupid!She will be punished!
  • I don't think just Chinese people are furious. I am an Italian American and I couldn't even stand her words when she made that comment. I honestly think she wanted attention, yet she was dumb enough to piss off the entire world.
  • Stony heart, stony mind, stony Sharon!
    Once Sharon Stone ,who has a stupid brain, an ugly heart ,an old-looking face ,spoke out this comment, she has to bear the coming consequences.She should have had the IQ to know that what she said would hurt 1600000000 Chinese people's heart!!!(ok,maybe she is just to foolish to know that.)
