My breaking point with O came when she made such harsh judgements of a teacher who, in the midst of a midlife crisis, posed for some porno shots. They became public,and...you know the rest of the story. Even Oprah's friend Gayle told her she had come down too hard on the woman. Oprah then invited the woman back and basically did her in again! This is the same Oprah who did a special on Victoria Secrets and Pole Dancing....advising us all that we need to spice up our lives. Hmmmm.....<br /><br />mbAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025297.post-1100620360662052042004-11-16T10:52:00.000-05:002004-11-16T10:52:00.000-05:00solitaire - yeah, I have been watching OW since sh...solitaire - yeah, I have been watching OW since she first started out. I suppose that if one were a white person with a "safe list" that Oprah would be on it. I don't have such a list. Oprah's skin colour is as interesting to me as her gender in that you don't see that many women who have the magnitude of success that she has. The fact that she is a black woman only makes it more extraordinary. What bothers me is that she has this incredible, as you say, marketing tool and she uses it in a way to market herself. It isn't about her causes anymore, it is about what is Oprah doing for these causes, isn't Oprah amazing and a good generous person for what she is doing. The causes are truly secondary.<br /><br />J - that article is crazy - I loved that we finally got the perspective of someone who lives the cause, and doesn't just "drop in" to check it out. I suppose that if Oprah just did her little movie-hype, Julia Roberts expose type shows I could handle it. The Oprah saves the world nonsense is too much to handle.<br /><br />Big N - hey you! Glad you like the blog. And yes, there are many women out there who don't like Oprah. I wonder what Scott will think of you saying he looks like Max Payne...Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02509305523940634182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025297.post-1100615421626853992004-11-16T09:30:00.000-05:002004-11-16T09:30:00.000-05:00Wow!

I watch Oprah very sporadically, but I did see the beginning of that We Love The Military baby shower one and turned it off immediately because I just couldn't take it. Overcoming adversity is admirable, but it doesn't automatically make you a good person for life. All of Oprah's self-agrandizing generousity ("I gave you this! Look how great I am!") does not equal kindness. Just because she started with nothing it doesn't mean that her greed is any more justified.<br /><br />J.Jennifer Jane Whitefordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13150293343212735221noreply@blogger.com
