| 7. Oh, I cannot stand Oprah... Pretending to psycho-analyze people and |
|
give out gifts.. drives me nuts. I applaud her.. she has done well for herself.. I, however, find it disgusting that it is nothing for her to give and entire audience a new car.. and those people getting the car are people who work in America and do great things.. yet, they can't make enough to buy a car for themselves.
I don't give a shit who she endorses... I decided when I was 14 that her show was pure shit, turned off the t.v. and went outside or did my homework... Guess she was good for me getting exercise and education because the choice was her or Donahue.. I think turning off the tv was best for me.. then I could decide whether or not I wanted to buy a book or try a new item by myself without the "fabulous endorsement".. So, in the end, I have to thank the woman for doing anything, but watching her show.
