PETA Wants To Scan Sharon Stone's Brain
 Sunday, July 6th, 2008

PETA (People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals) has done some really...erm, original...things to garner attention for their cause. You've got to give them that. Their latest stunt is asking Sharon Stone to consent to a free brain scan to "determine if comments and actions that seem to demonstrate a lack of empathy are the result of a physical defect."

PETA's President, Ingrid Newkirk, faxed a letter to Stone last week that ties together the comment Sharon made about the earthquake in China ("karma") with the indifference of her fur-wearing ways.

"We are used to the indifference that you flaunt and the callous remarks that you make about the suffering and death of the animals whose fur you wear so often," Newkirk wrote. "Scientific studies suggest that the prefrontal regions of the brains of people who lack empathy might be underdeveloped. Here's our offer: Would you allow PETA to pay for a scan of the prefrontal region of your brain?"

We kind of think Sharon Stone was misunderstood with the China comment. But, yeah, the fur needs to go.
