Being unemployed allows me the time to watch certain tv programs that I normally wouldnt watch (even though I should be studying). I am basically the soccer moms that you see, driving the mini vans (which I totally dig by the way and would rock one for sure), staying home, eating bon-bons and watching stupid daytime shows. One of these shows is Oprah.
First and foremost, I'm baffled as to why this woman makes so much money and has so much power. What makes her opinion on ANYTHING more important than the next person? By simply having a product or endorsing a company, Oprah can make or break them. This is crazy to me. Who the hell does she think she is? Its beyond me that so many women (and "certain" men) cater and follow everything this woman has to say. Yes, she's on tv, I get that, but other than that, she's no better than anyone else. She has a college degree, but other than that, she is not more educated than the rest of us, in fact, many of us have more college education than she does. By no means am I saying that the more college someone has makes them automatically smarter, but in listening to her speak, its like she believes she's above everyone else. What makes her an expert on certain subject matters? I was always led to believe that in order to be an expert on something, either you had to have lived it or studied it, no?
One the episode I painfully watched, she had Jay-Z on (which is the only reason I tuned in...an hour of my life I will never get back). After she said numerous times that she basically hated rap its lyrics and what is stood for, she brought him out. First off, if you hate rap so much, why have one of the biggest artists out there on your show? Because he is the CEO of a record label and makes millions is my guess. After interviewing him, he "taught" her how to rap....wow, that's what I have to say about that. It was painful. She has no natural talent...and I don't mean that on just the rap game. She was waving her arm like the stereotype of a rapper would. Even Jay-Z told her to stop it..that was funny. She plays the "black card" whenever it is convenient for her, other than that, she's as white as it gets.
People might say that I'm jealous of all her success and that's why I'm hating on her. Wrong. Of anything/everything she has, yes, I would like to have her money, but that's it. Oprah is loud, obnoxious, overweight, unattractive, self-centered and overall, not a good person. She preaches helping the poor, has various money managers and self-help people on her show, all the while, she is sporting million dollar earrings and looking down on people...
If you're an Oprah follower, I'd love to hear your opinion as to why. I honestly can not understand why people would listen to anything this woman has to say. What has she done that is so outstanding or deserves this kind of praise? I understand that people will say the same thing about other celebrities or entertainers, but at least they have talent and dont sit on their fat asses and just talk.
The pandora's box has opened...upcoming issues (while not all of them will be negative I assure you)...various celebrities, women drivers, work, school, asians, kids....just to name a few (unless something awesome happens this weekend, then I'll write about that). While I get that Oprah maybe shouldnt have been a topic of mine, but whatever, she bothers me.

When are you going to write about how NOT to pick a fantasy football team? "The Scheff is cookin' up some touchdowns" he says. The Scheff has been dropped to the waiver wire and I am picking up Oprah as my tight end this week. I bet that is the first time anyone has used "Oprah" and "tight end" in the same sentence.
ReplyDeleteHere are some other blog topics on which you could opine: (1) string theory; (2) how it feels to be an uncle to the cutest niece ever; (3) how it feels to have a cool brother-in-law; (4) why being an accountant is fun; (5) why being an accountant sucks; (6) the possibility of a Buccaneers v. Broncos Superbowl ever occurring; (7) whether Pringles are better than regular potato chips; and (8) how it is possible to live on a diet based entirely around hot tamales and other gummy candies. I have a ton of other ideas. Let me know if you ever need a "guest blogger."
ReplyDeleteShe is the anti-christ in my opinion. Once is a while, she does have truely amazing people on, but so do the other "talk shows." In case you didn't know; she owns Dr. Phil, The Doctors, and Dr. Oz. Her ideals, opinions, and people are on all the top three networks. Really why do a whole bunch of suburban lonely house wives in your audience need brand new cars; oh yea, because there is Genocide in Africa...Maybe we should care less about these "stars" and start spending energy on others who actually serve the community:FoCo Brother --->Topic Ideas: Is the Stock Market Real?; Politics and Government, the true blood sucker of an American Dream; The Top Five B-Ball Players in their respect postions (even though Willis Reed was a center he would be a forward today); Alcohol, the true American Drug; Women and their games...Catch on the Rebound
ReplyDeleteYou know what concerns me more than you sitting around watching Oprah? The fact that Brian sits around at work thinking about all-gummy diets fooling himself into thinking that the bucs are even worthy to play the broncos. that guy really needs to get a life...
ReplyDeletethat being said. it must be nice to have enough time on your hands to start a fucking blog. or for that matter, sit around and think about fucking things to blog about. But some of us are at Ihop at 3:30am working on a moot court brief. So take all of your free time and shove it up your ass... and then blog about that.
