Sharon Stone Needs to Shut the Hell Up

From "Variety":
"All these earthquakes and stuff happened and I thought, "Is that karma?" When you are not nice, bad things happen to you. I'm not happy about how the Chinese are treating the Tibetans, I don't think anyone should be unkind to anyone else. They're not being very nice to the Dali Lama, who's a good friend of mine," she said.

SHUT THE HELL UP. SHUT UP, JUST SHUT UP SHUT UP. You are an actress. You ACT for a living. You pretend to be someone you are not. You "immerse" yourself in a role. Which means, although you may be living in this alter-reality where you believe that you are intelligent and that what comes out of your mouth is valid and logical, sadly, it is not.

Your opinions are as important as my own in the grand scheme of things. Which means they don't matter. Just because your life has been led in the public sphere for decades doesn't mean you are allowed to voice your opinion. In fact, it will only benefit your public image to keep them to yourself.

Everyone else in the world already sees us as obese idiots who have a penchant for ill-placed nationalism and SUVs. This only adds fuel to the fire.
