Stone Giant can target opponent's creatures (fix completed in vcs)

 

I saw the AI do this, not use the card myself, but I'm pretty sure you would be able to do it too.

As you can see the AI used its Stone Giant to target my Prodigal Sorcerer, an effect that would give it Flying until end of turn (his turn) and then destroy it. A pretty nice play for the AI... if Stone Giant didn't specify it had to be your creature. Interesting, the effect text of the yellow card omits the "you control" restriction on Stone Giant, which may have been the cause of this error.

The text on the effect card is just text. It intentionally omits the targeting restrictions because they no longer need to be valid after the effect is added - that is, the creature doesn't stop flying or avoid the end-of-turn trigger if you lose control of it, or if its toughness increases above Stone Giant's power.
