Stone sorry for quake 'karma' remark
2008-05-29
HOLLYWOOD star Sharon Stone has apologised after a furious response in China to her comments that its deadly earthquake was "karma" over the Chinese government's policies in Tibet. The US actress also offered to help with the earthquake relief effort in a statement issued by the China branch of French luxury goods maker Christian Dior, where she is a top model.

"My erroneous words and deeds angered and saddened the Chinese people, and I sincerely apologise for this," she said in the statement, issued in Chinese.
That's not an apology. You're saying you're sorry because your words angered people. You're supposed to be sorry because your words were WRONG.
"I'm willing to participate in any earthquake relief activity and to do my utmost to help Chinese people affected by the disaster."

#3  HOLLYWOOD star Sharon Stone has apologised after a furious response in China

I'm with Stone on this one. ANYTHING that evokes Chicom seething anger is fine with me. I'm getting a little sick of somebody making a comment, carma, whatever, and the media immediately attacking them and demanding an apology.

#2  All this from the utterings of a woman whose 15 seconds of fame were showing her bare snatch in a mediocre movie.
