And if you don’t know the difference between hyperbole and literality, let me just say i’m very glad you aren’t a teacher of reading comprehension.
I hereby formally aver, for the humor-impaired and the terminally obtuse, that i never meant to suggest that Sharon Stone is literally insane or suffers from a specific mental illness as listed in DSM-IV or any other recognised manual of psychological and psychiatric disorders.
I saw in the headlines something like, “Sharon Stone in Israel” and thought that the story was that they’d erected some kind of monument to Coma Sharon.
True enough. But as the OP, and the first person in this thread to describe her as “batshit insane,” i wanted to make clear that my use of such language was hyperbole.
Well, to be fair, i think it’s completely possible. A high IQ is no guarantee that someone isn’t a self-absorbed attention whore who makes stupid public statements.
I remember when she was dating Dwight Yoakam. In an interview, Yoakam talked about how intelligent she was (among other things).
When they broke up, I read another interview where he was still saying nice things about her. Stone referred to him as a “dirt sandwich.” I’ve never forgiven her for that. Don’t diss Dwight.
Weellll, not to sound insensitive, but she did have a stroke a while ago - and a lisp is a common lingering symptom. Ok, I did want to sound insensitive, but only about Ms. Stone, not about other stroke victims.
