Attention, celebrities!
Jun 3rd, 2008 by Carla
Perhaps this should be the season of quiet reflection.
To wit:
Brigitte Bardot was just charged with her fifth—and heaviest—fine for inciting hate speech.
Sharon Stone stated at the Cannes film festival that the earthquake that killed 68,000 people last week in China was karmic payback.
Ms. Bardot, the French government has told you, formally, five times now that you need to keep your thoughts about people of Islamic faith to yourself. Heed.
Ms. Stone, please quietly sit in a corner, and read some Buddhist and Hindu texts on karma. Hopefully you will come to see that a game of cosmic neener-neener is not appropriate…or especially helpful to anyone. No death should be celebrated, in any fashion.
Pop culture celebrities of all stripes:
There is a reason you’re famous. However, it most likely is not for your political or spiritual acumen. Please keep this in mind when choosing what to say or write for public consumption. We all have to do so; you’re not exempt just because your face is on the cover of magazines.
