Poll for Men Only Please: Oprah

Gotta give her props for what she's done, though.

*Mitch Albom's famous?*

 

That is, until it gives you the runs

 

Some guys will say anything to try to see Lugs' tits curry favor with Lugs.



And what's the difference between "ambivalent" and "don't give a shit"?

 

Yea, not an official poll about any chick w/out this option.

 

When this topic has come up before, I have always had something to say about her being annoying beyond tolerance. This time, I have written down my responses and saved them in a word processing program. Here goes.


Why Oprah is a fraud.

1. Self-righteous beyond the point where I can stand her. When Jerry Springer was threatening her lead in the ratings, Oprah huffed and puffed and said she would never, never do that sort of show. Yet when she was challenging Phil Donohue she pushed the envelope.

2. Poor, poor Oprah, victim of an author who made things up. Oprah was so upset that somebody would do this to her, Oprah, the saintly queen. Well, duh, that is why you have a staff which should be checking this thing out.

3. The show is edited so that if Oprah gets a name wrong, it is corrected later. No problem with that, but don’t try to tell me she is somebody who always gets things right.

4. I always get the feeling that her audience would jump off a tall bridge if Oprah told them to do things.

5. The incident at the Paris shop where Oprah got there late and was outraged they wouldn’t open the store for her. After all, she is Oprah. And the thing about that is, here is someone who presents herself as a regular person with all of these viewers and yet she demands special treatment.

6. For all of the success her show has had, for all of the many shows and big audiences, for all of the topics she has done, kindly name one thing where a show she has done has changed anything. I mean something like Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle” leading to the creation of the Food and Drug Administration; Rachel Carson’s work getting some pesticides banned, or the Washington Post with Watergate. I’m not talking about anything that big, I’m talking about anything outside her show.

7. It seems this woman times everything toward ratings periods. She did that for losing weight three times, and when that got old we got the tearful confession about her using drugs.

8. The biggest problem is that you can’t seem to escape Oprah. With a self-righteous blowhard like Rush Limbaugh, you can generally dismiss him and leave him to the people who would take everything he says as gospel. With a self-righteous and smug person like Oprah, you have to deal with the fact that books become best seller because Oprah decides to feature them and have a Book Club. And then discontinue the Book Club. And then start the Book Club back up again.

 

Damn, Gold.

Guess I shouldn't have bought you that subscription to Oprah magazine for Christmas.

 

Barack Obama, we speak your name!

 

If she can help any Democrat into office to end the eight dark years of the Bush Administration, then I am all fucking for her and whatever sugar coated book is in her club right now.

 

I don't mind Oprah, but I hardly ever watch her show. I'm definitely not making my presidential choice based on the recommendations of any talk-show host, that's for sure.

 

I myself am ambivalent about whether I give a shit.

And Lugnuts, you can't vote!
