4. OMG - I know this is to celebrate wonderful women, etc., BUT
it's all SO self-indulgent.

I think I am going to :puke:.

6. Nope. 2 hours of watching Oprah say "Look at me - look at how I
appreciate these women - ain't I incredible, that I am appreciating these women so much? By the way, did you know I gave away a lot of money? I did! LOOK AT ME! YOU'RE NOT LOOKING AT ME ENOUGH!!! WATCH HOW I APPRECIATE THESE WOMEN AND GIVE ME APPLAUSE, DAMMIT!!!"

No, I couldn't take that at all.

7. I, on the whole, LIKE Oprah
But, I'm sorry... this is just ridiculous.

And why are they all black? Not that I think white people aren't disproportionately appreciated and congratulated (I do), but... it's kinda... weird to me. I mean, why didn't she do it during Black History Month?

I, too, "have this dream to build a bridge and a stage in my backyard" and have all my heroes over for a big orgasmic dinner dance... :eyes:

8. Case in point: Mariah Carey - black?
How black did you have to be to get invited?

I'm confused.

11. I like Oprah too
For the most part, her heart is in the right place, and I think she's sincere about wanting to help people.

But, damn, lady, get over yourself already!

10. I just don't "get" the whole Oprah thing at all. And that maniacal
adoration from her audience is just wierd. What is the appeal? I mean she's ok but why the "over the top" nuttiness?
