Sharon Stone Suggests Earthquakes in China Were Due to Bad "Karma"

Sharon Stone is under fire for recently saying that the devastating Chinese earthquakes could have been the result of bad "karma."

In an interview with Hong Kong's Cable Entertainment News, the 50-year-old actress (and staunch Tibetan rights advocate) tied the natural disaster -- which has claimed at least 65,000 lives -- to Beijing's policy on Tibet.

"I'm not happy about the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans because I don't think anyone should be unkind to anyone else," she said Thursday at a Cannes Film Festival bash.

"And then this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and then I thought, 'Is that karma? When you're not nice that the bad things happen to you?'"

Calling her comments "inappropriate," Ng See-Yuen -- founder of the UME Cineplex chain and the chairman of the Federation of Hong Kong Filmmakers -- has vowed not to show her movies in his theaters, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Some major Beijing department stores also have removed Christian Dior advertisements, which feature Stone's image, The Beijing Times reports.

I can't stand her! She's such a friggin moron! What did all those thousands of little kids ever do to anyone?! What an insensitive thing to say when all those families are in mourning and you're basically saying their kids deserved to die.

While I do agree that their "policy" on Tibet is to be condemned and fought (they don't have oil though so who cares!!!), people in China don't deserve to die either. Those who die are poor people with no means who have done nothing to Tibet.

The Government is but has not suffered much and I don't think they care that much about the people who died.
