Sharon Stone suggests earthquake in China caused by "karma"

Sharon Stone pulled a Pat Robertson / Jerry Falwell by suggesting that the earthquake in China was the result of "karma."

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

Now China is boycotting all things Sharon Stone.

Theaters are dropping her movies, department stores are taking down her image, and cosmetics brand Christian Dior has been scrambling to distance itself from the actress, who since 2005 has been the face of one of its skin products.

It makes me wonder what bad thing Phil Bronstein (formerly Mr. Sharon Stone) did to get his big toe nearly bitten off by a Komodo dragon in 2001? Link
