I DO NOT LIKE OPRAH!
That's right. I said it . . . .
In the past couple of weeks, the latest stories regarding OPRAH WINFREY have just put me over the edge.
First I heard about the death in the family. Well, I felt bad. A death in the family is always horrific. I heard she was devastated. Just devastated by the loss of her "baby." "Baby?" Wait, Oprah doesn't have any children. This must be a bad mistake. Or I heard it wrong. No .... They said "baby." Oh....THAT BABY. Gracie ....her 2-year old retriever. You know, one of the four dogs she has that she left millions to after she dies?
Now if you or I lost a family pet, you can bet it would not be announced on WORLD NEWS. If we lost a family member it would not be announced on the news. PLEASE!
NEXT, it was the sex abuse scandal with Oprah's girl's school in South Africa. You know the school, the one Oprah built for the girls. The one with all the fanfare and publicity. She couldn't just take her billions of dollars and build it. It had to be a giant media event. Not only on her show, but EVERYWHERE.
Well, it was shocking to me to hear of the abuse going on in the school. And I guess it was shocking to Oprah, too, because, back on November 5th it was reported that Oprah said:
"When I first heard about it I spent about a half-hour going around my house crying,"
What was that? A WHOLE half an hour?
Crying?
I knew Oprah was compassionate, but I never knew how much ....
The next week I heard about "IT." She's so "ill." Poor Oprah. That's why she has gained TWENTY pounds! She's so ill. Well, gee whiz. I was really getting worried for Oprah. I was trying to think of what deadly disease she must have; you know one that makes you put on the pounds. Most illnesses make you lose weight. I thought, must be kidney disease, something bad like that.
Poor Oprah .... It's a THYROID CONDITION. Yep! Do you know how many people have thyroid conditions? Both my sister and sister-in-law have them and have had to drink the iodine cocktail, which subsequently totally burns your whole thyroid out, because they haven't figured out the way to regulate the dosage properly yet. So, you end up on medication the rest of your life. A pill a day.
Still, people LOVE Oprah!
Brandon Renken, a Harvard University graduate who wrote an anti-Oprah column for CampusNut.com, takes issue with Oprah, too:
"No matter who you are, Oprah is NOT like you," he said. "The fact that she can convince you that she is should make you even more afraid of her than I am."
Well, I agree ....
I don't like in-between Oprah, I didn't like skinny Oprah. Not fat Oprah, either (I will make an exception for her acting performance in "The Color Purple," but, she was acting). I don't like her talk show, her Oxygen network show, her "O" Magazine. . . I don't like to see her dance, sing, or change her demographic personality depending on who her guest is at the moment. And I don't like her commercial empire that she tries to shove down our throats every chance she gets.
She preaches about money and how bad things are in the world and then flaunts how she buys nothing but the best for herself. She brainwashes her viewers into buying anything she recommends, she attacks people, and stores/businesses, on her show, who personally have wronged her. She implies she is donating all of the "prizes or gifts" on her show, when actually the sponsors or advertisers are donating them. She worships celebrities on her show and brings on children with problems to display them but rarely helps them, and she lied that she had never done drugs, until she was about to be outed, and then quickly told the truth.
Guess what?
I don't care what you think this time! Unless, like me, YOU also don't like OPRAH!
But I'm fair, I'll still listen to everyone.
So, what do you think?
