Apr 12 2006Oprah Winfrey is richer than you
During a speech on Monday at a Baltimore fundraiser for Beth Tfiloh Dahan Community School, Oprah Winfrey talked about how rich she was and how fantastic it was. Seriously.
"I have lots of things, like all these Manolo Blahniks. I have all that and I think it's great. I'm not one of those people like, 'Well, we must renounce ourselves.' No, I have a closet full of shoes and it's a good thing. I was coming back from Africa on one of my trips. I had taken one of my wealthy friends with me. She said, 'Don't you just feel guilty? Don't you just feel terrible?' I said, 'No, I don't. I do not know how me being destitute is going to help them.' Then I said when we got home, 'I'm going home to sleep on my Pratesi sheets right now and I'll feel good about it.' "
It's about time somebody had the guts to talk about how awesome being rich is. What's the point of owning a solid gold toilet if poor people won't let me enjoy it?

It's also cool when you start losing all the money.
6. okiedoke - April 12, 2006 2:04 PM
Sorry - I don't begrudge Oprah her wealth. I do not worship at the altar of Oprah, however, at LEAST she does some good with her money.
7. Leonie - April 12, 2006 2:07 PM
I say girlfriend earnt it fair and square. It's not like she's keeping it all to herself either. She had nothing, worked her arse off, and now she's rich. Isn't that what America is supposed to be all about? I say good on her.
8. RobotAttack - April 12, 2006 2:07 PM
well it sounds like she phrased some things a bit snooty but hell I probably would be a bit snooty too if I were a friggin' billionare! Besides she does good things with her money, she shouldn't feel guilty for what she has earned.
9. okiedoke - April 12, 2006 2:09 PM
#7 and #8 - that's right! You damn skippy! I don't see anybody asking these greedy ass corporate executives to apologize for the wealth they robbed from people's 401k's, I mean, "earned."
10. Jacq - April 12, 2006 2:12 PM
Angel Network, giving money away, good stuff, blah, blah, blah.
Finally someone says, "I'm rich, motherfucker! And I love it!" The best part is that I TOTALLY know how she feels.
Stating that her being poor wouldn't help them - completely true. If she and all rich people were to give away all of their hard-earned money to put everyone on an even keel - well, that's called communism.

I must be total po white trash because I have no idea what a Pratesi sheet is.

She's reached the point where greenbacks are toilet paper substitute.
13. Sidius - April 12, 2006 2:14 PM
Oprah is a douchebag. I have been saying so for years but no one would listen. I was like the lone crazy person in a sea full of brainwashed Oprah lovers.
I remember seeing a clip of her (from her show) a few years back talking to her audience about these new 2000 thread count sheets she just bought and how comfortable they were, and all I could think was "What is wrong with this out-of-touch bitch? Who the hell buys 2000 thread count sheets and how much would that shit even cost?"
Oprah is totally out of touch with the common man anymore and has been for a while. I get it she was poor and now she is rich - and apparently now she is also a douchebag.
14. Libraesque - April 12, 2006 2:15 PM
Bullshit "does good things with her money" She could single handedly bring back the city of New Orleans if she had a mind to, instead she donated the same amount of money, and NOT the same amount of time as stars like Matthew McConahay (sp? you know who) and Harry Connick Jr., and they aren't billionares. I was horrified in the weeks following Katrina when she continued in her little bubble world , giving out 1,000.00 meaningless gifts to her audience. She should be ashamed.
15. UNWASHEDMASSES - April 12, 2006 2:15 PM
Isn't she a Democrat? Isn't she supposed to feel guilty about being wealthy?
16. lebowski - April 12, 2006 2:18 PM
I've hated Oprah before I even knew who she was; when I was a small thing, throwing my organic strained fruits all over the poor children in my preschool with my custom-made silver spoon.
Gosh, those were the days!

20. honeycomb's_big_yeahyeahyeah - April 12, 2006 2:26 PM
Damn, at least she's not an apologist.
O's inspired me to stop guiltivating over my own conspicuous consumption. My conspicuous consumption of lattes. I generally feel like crap about it too, especially since motivational speakers always use the "latte a day" analogy to talk about retirement savings.
I don't own pants though, so it balances out.
"I've been poor and I've been rich. Rich is better."
21. oshkoshb-goshdammgosh - April 12, 2006 2:27 PM
Oprah's wealthy friend continued to say, "You mean, you don't feel bad knowing you could take a pair of those shoes and feed that starving family over their and buy their children a years-worth of pediatric care?" Oprah said, "Nope."
"You could even just take one shoe, or a piece of one shoe, and buy them school supplies and a roof for their shack. Hell, you could take a shit and put it in a jar and sell it on Ebay and the money would supply the whole village with clean drinking water for a year. You couldn't just give them some spare change from the cushions of your private jet?" Oprah said, "No way, bitch." Her friend admonished, "How about just a couple bottles of that purified water you use to wash your dog, or some of that cure for AIDS you carry in that vial around your neck?" Oprah screamed, "Shut up, bitch! I earned this money, I'm going to enjoy it! I just donated a million dollars to my magazine the other day. You people are trying to bleed me dry!!! God, it's as hot as Africa in this bitch - Steadman, pour some more champagne on my feet, they're sweaty."
22. TaiTai - April 12, 2006 2:28 PM
Don't start me on Oprah. Isn't EVERY SINGLE SHOW she ever has geared toward how great she is, and how generous she is, and how it is all about HER? Yeah, yeah, Oprah, you are one of us, only richer. Just listen to her shows, people, how every subject comes back to her. The only good she does is to make herself look better. Can't even watch her show at all anymore even though I live in a foreign country where hers is one of only about 5 shows we get in English! I would rather watch "Baywatch," and that should tell you something.
23. LRonHubbaHubba - April 12, 2006 2:31 PM
Pratesi sheets! Oh how I hate that bitch.
I often struggle with the dilemma of college funds for my kids or Pratesi sheets. So far the little brats have lucked out.

On a less ritzy note, once I was so thirsty but weak with hangover that I fished a dead spider out of a cast iron kettle and drank the murkiness therein.
I was camping, there was nothing else.

30. UNWASHEDMASSES - April 12, 2006 2:42 PM
Remember when she took credit for giving all her guests new cars, then it came out later that the cars were donated by the manufacturer for promotional purposes? Sow. And to all those soccer moms who worship at her trough - get a life, fuglies.

I often struggle with the dilemma of having something besides grilled cheeses for dinner or using that 5 bucks for gas. Oh, and the "something besides grilled cheeses" would be something really highbrow, like the Potato Stroganoff Hamburger Helper.
36. synik - April 12, 2006 2:49 PM
yes, oprah is full of shit, but she's no different that any of us. she's just brave enough to say what's so true for everyone in the US... that she loves herself more than anyone else in the world. and that she'll only "give" to others what doesn't negatively impact her. and another thing, most of the crap she gives out to her audience is donated by other companies trying to advertise their products. so she can't even grunt about.
37. Baby_D - April 12, 2006 2:50 PM
Who cares? If I could sucker millions of mindless drones to follow my every word, I'd do it. And if I had her money, I'd be an arrogant b*tch too.
38. Jacq - April 12, 2006 2:54 PM
If I were rich, I would...
First and foremost, take Papa as my boytoy/sex slave.
Gold plate MeganHarris' boyfriend.
Pay for Tom Cruise's sex change so he can finally get a cock, which he loves.
Fill a swimming pool with money and change like Scrooge McDuck.
Start a site for oshkosh, Italian Stallion, Papa, mamacita, tits_on_snack to have an exclusive forum for hilarity.
Adopt an orphan or something, just so I can have one of them.
Smash Rolexes with a hammer.
Anyone else? Come on guys, I know you'll make it good!

It's good to know Oprah's modest about it.
If I were as rich as Oprah, I would:
create a new religion and make more money.
Tom Cruise still loves the cock.

45. BabyBayBayLeigh010 - April 12, 2006 3:06 PM
Yeah-- Oprah donated those Pontiac G6's alright, GM handed them over & the audience went wild...until they tried to take them home and found out they had to pay for the shipping, taxes, and licensing. What a better gift than a brand new car w/ a couple of thousand dollars in fees along with it. LONG LIVE OPRAH

Its about time some tell this lady to eff off.
I watch Oprah like the people that Hate Howard Stern listen to him to see what he'll say next.
Everyone in Entertainment kisses her ass, because of her "power" over the industry.
I say forget it.
51. PapaHotNuts - April 12, 2006 3:17 PM
#44, was that sarcasm?
52. bjorku - April 12, 2006 3:19 PM
Okay, let me preface this with: I don't particularly care for Oprah at all. I don't watch her show. And I'm not rich. I live in a shitty NYC apt and eat ramin noodles every night. But I have to ask all you people trashing Oprah: WTF is your problem?! It's very important to get two things straight: 1) If you accept the premise that life and happiness are things worth striving towards, worth having, than you MUST accept that wealth is also good. Because wealth and money created your job, built your home, made the food in your mouth. It made the computer you're typing on, and created the internet your browsing (you say, "people did this, not money..." true, but guaranteed: people do NOT do things without some sort of reward. These things would not exist if the people that created them hadn't been paid somehow).
Which leads me to my second point: it is not "permissable" to be rich simply because you give much of it away. One is under no obligation to share their wealth with anyone else, end of story. If Oprah wants to help poor people, fine. But it is her money, she earned it by doing something you didn't do, and she is entitled to keep it or piss it away as she sees fit.
Shame on you all for simply parroting what you've heard others say, without having a full understanding of the nature of wealth, trade, money, charity or capitalism.
Now, despite the fact that I know no one out there cares enough about ideas and concepts to have read this entire post, I will still say that our future and our livelihoods depend on people understanding this. What will you do when the government forces not just "rich" people--define "rich," where do you draw the line?-- to give to charities, but also "middle class" and "lower-middle-class" and then "those-with-jobs" and then "those-that-just-have-more-than-someone-else..." The more you demand that people with money feel bad or guility about it, the more you ensure that our future will be devoid of it.

54. DaveBenner - April 12, 2006 3:22 PM
Chris Rock, regarding racism - "There's not a white person in this entire audience that would switch lives with me . . .and I'm RICH!" Well, perhaps this is true, because I wouldn't switch lives with Oprah Winfrey. Then again . . . it's not because she's black, it's because she's fat.
55. Italian Stallion - April 12, 2006 3:23 PM
Oprah Winfrey cares about the poor like George Bush cares about black people or the way Tom Cruise cares about pussy, you get the hint......
If I was rich I would buy Newguy a life and Oprah a Polish gun.....

Hey Jacq, you brown-noser! maybe you should take some of that money and pay people to be friends with you. but to answer your question i think i would buy brangelina and keep them locked away for my own amusement.

Buy miniature animals and name them Tinkerbell and take them shopping, etc and when I get tired of them I will get new ones and leave the old ones to die.
I would sing Happy Birthday to Hugh Hefner in my panties.
I would scratch and pee myself in public.
I would fall down drunk and have my bodyguard pick me up by the tits.
I would steal the rich boyfriends of moviestars and infect them with multiple STDs.
I would leave my personal journals in storage units, not pay the bill, and claim they were stolen.
Last, but not least, I would make a sex tape with Tom Sizemore and then deny I had ever met him.
Oh, wait that stuff's already been done.....
Guess I'd have to turn to philanthropy.

72. Jadeyedreamer - April 12, 2006 3:47 PM
there's nothing wrong with being proud or thankful for what you have, especially if you worked hard to earn it, but there is simply no need to go talking about all the "awesome" stuff that you own--it just makes you sound incredibly materialistic and shallow
this whole thing reminds me of a lyric from a Sarah McLachlan song:
"the more we take the less we become/ a fortune of one that means less for some"
73. PapaHotNuts - April 12, 2006 3:49 PM

I'm a foster kid who never went to college and have etched out a good career from nothing while raising a son. And I'm only 31. The only people that are into Oprah on worship level are the ones who need constant reminders not to fall apart at the seams when the going gets rough. Ya, thanks Oprah, I KNOW. Now make yourself really useful and give Steadman a hummer.

I'm glad she is enjoying it... If I worked hard for my money, (instead of marrying well off to old men because I have huge tits) I wouldn't feel bad about having things either... she shouldn't feel bad.
I'd take my money and swim in caviar in my big fenced in pool in the middle of starving childre... it gives them hope, it gives them something to WORK FOR...

I would pay $100.00 to watch Sara McLaughlin fight a live badger. Then she could sing a really pretty song about badger wounds. But she would be talking about emotional badger wounds, and I would cry, because she is so sensitive when it comes to wounds of the heart. Oh great, now I'm crying. Fucking fighting badgers, man, they do it to me every time.

bjorku, my little capitalistic fascist piggy-in-training...I have no problem with people spending their hard earned money as they see fit. But once you make proud statements about not feeling the least bit guilty that there is a person in front of you starving/dying/freezing, it's open season. No matter how rich I get, I'll always feel bad to see someone starving/dying/freezing in front of me....and I certainly wouldn't announce to the world how my M. Blahniks and 2,000 threadcount sheets are waiting for me in the face of such a sad human state. I mean, MY GOD. That woman is OUT OF TOUCH with reality. In the famous words of my would-be husband, Denis Leary, she's an ass-hoooole e yo ye oh de oh de oh.

#60 - The difference between a brown-noser and a shit head is depth perception.
#66 - I am in the same boat if anyone else around here actually works and is as snoopy as me.
P.S. As much as it hurts my hands to type this, I think that you should date Mr. HotNuts. I have developed, I'm pretty sure, a full-blown crush on him but you are definitely more deserving. Plus, you're actually in LA and I'm across a state line...
SASSY OUT!
96. synik - April 12, 2006 4:22 PM
Oprah needs to get her ass whooped. I bet she eats enough for at least one family of 5 every meal, then vomits it back out in order to maintain her slim, pig body. On another note, I find it very weird that all the middle class white women of America worship a black woman, just cuz she's richer than all of them and can afford to buy and flaunt things they can't.
97. mamacita - April 12, 2006 4:22 PM
@70
That is some funny shit. Sadly, it's so on point that I couldn't believe it. I guess that's part of what makes it so funny. Well, that and the pic with two of them high-fiving and the caption says "BAM! This is how we do it!" Heeeeelarious.

99. gogoboots - April 12, 2006 4:28 PM
Well that's great she was so inspired by her trip to Africa that she feels so empowered by being so rich. After seeing all those millions of people starving to death, and then silly American celebrities starving themselves it really makes you think...damn, I appreciate my FAT ASS!
100. oshkoshb-goshdammgosh - April 12, 2006 4:29 PM
#95 - You totally were the post from the future! Now you're the post from the past! My mind has been blown!
Another reason Mr. HotNutz should date me is because I'm much better looking. But don't feel bad - I'm better looking than everyone, including my identical twin sister. I have to wear a burkah when I go out so men won't try to rape me or ejaculate on me, which is SO annoying.
101. synik - April 12, 2006 4:32 PM
oshkoshb-goshdammgosh,
We, the Superficial family, would greatly appreciate it if you could please post a picture (nude preferred) of yourself for all to enjoy. We promise not to ejaculate on our computer monitors.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
The Superficial Family
102. Trotter - April 12, 2006 4:39 PM
Osh - the site @70 is phenomenal.
I am your biggest fan. Uh, actually, I can't be since I'm a midget, but I wish I were! Notice I use "midget" instead of "Little Person" because that PC BS makes me want to read idiot postings like #52 as punishment.
Oh, and Tom Cruise loves the cock.
103. Iwantagreekshippingheirtoo - April 12, 2006 4:41 PM
#92. I totally agree.
Also, there is a reason Oprah and Tom Cruise are still such good friends.....
104. boogaloo - April 12, 2006 4:42 PM
i am pretty sure oshkosh is sarah silverman.
105. carrie bradshaw - April 12, 2006 4:43 PM
I live in Dallas where the morning radio show Kidd Kraddick in the Morning (yeah, the same DJ who had the "dance off" with K-Fed a few posts back) is and he likes Oprah, but is pretty much convinced that she is the Anti-Christ. I wouldn't have a hard time believing it.
*as a total side note, the commericals for the new Scary Movie 4 where they spoof Oprah and Tom Cruise punching each other out on the couch is hysterical
106. eXtasyStef - April 12, 2006 4:46 PM
#52: Sadly, I read your entire post. I am continuously amazed at the proliferation of very sad people who want to spoil someone else's fun with political rhetoric and their own annoying agenda.

As for Oprah, apparently all the money in the world can't buy empathy for your fellow people...or class.
107. oshkoshb-goshdammgosh - April 12, 2006 4:48 PM
Sara Silverman is a douche and female comics aren't funny. There I said it.
Here are the requested nude photos of me, NSFW. http://stan.bigandslutty.com/?nats=MjcyNzM6NToyNw,0,0,0,0
Please have your tissue ready, as you are about to explode your orgasmic liquids all over the place when you see me, and those liquids are awful sticky, and a tissue would be handy for to wipe up the said fluids, unless you like sticky surfaces, which is cool too.
108. PapaHotNuts - April 12, 2006 4:54 PM
Osh, Thanks a lot.
My mom is such a whore.
And a fat one at that.
Now the world knows.
109. juicylips - April 12, 2006 4:56 PM
Everyone who's mad at Oprah for being rich is not really mad at Oprah, they're mad because they lack the balls to perform on her level.
110. speechless - April 12, 2006 4:56 PM
#15 -- thank you.
111. Iambananas - April 12, 2006 4:56 PM
I not a huge Oprah fan, but I don't hate her either... I think her shows can be kind of boring and overrated. But, I hvae a question... why do people like her? I mean, I don't get it... total mystery. Plus, I don't think she's fat... she used to be, but she isn't anymore... we all used to be children, but no one calls you "kid" now, do they?
112. oshkoshb-goshdammgosh - April 12, 2006 4:58 PM
No one would've known it was your mom, unless she calls herself Mrs. Hotnutz. Oh wait, I remember taking a DVDA picture with a Mrs. Hotnutz on a pile of cheese-filled danishes. Tell your mom I said "waaaasaaaaap" (like Martin Lawrence).
113. Saucie - April 12, 2006 5:05 PM
Osh, you ARE a tasty dish!
114. jb - April 12, 2006 5:06 PM
I will slap her.
115. Kylara - April 12, 2006 5:09 PM
At least Oprah had the sense to stare at Tom Cruise like the lunatic he is when he jumped up and down on her couch. She gets points for that.
116. Trotter - April 12, 2006 5:10 PM
Oshkosh, that got me all creamy, thanks.
How did you get Opie and Brit to do the free video teaser? They looks great!
117. Ez-EEEE - April 12, 2006 5:24 PM
i love you all very much. and i deeply appreciate hotnutz and oshkosh for brightening up what has of late become a boring teh superficial dot com. (oh how i long for the smart assness shown in the archives) HOWEVER, i must protest a hook up of any kind between hotnutz and oshiekoshie. i believe their union would spawn the anti-christ. and id like to make it to retirement before the end of the world, thanks ever so much for postponing procreation the demon-seed on my behalf.
118. Akapee - April 12, 2006 5:29 PM
At least Oprah starred straight into Tom Cruise's crazy eyes and saw that "Tom likes cock."
119. oshkoshb-goshdammgosh - April 12, 2006 5:34 PM
#117 - I could never be romantically involved with Mr. Nutz because I am already married to 7 Swedish male models with huge penises. They're all named Fritz 1 through 7 and are licensed massage therapists. What do they call the matriarchal version of polygamy again?... Oh yeah, Awesome!
And don't nobody correct me on that.
120. MaryBackstayge - April 12, 2006 5:35 PM
Give me a break. The amount she "gives back" is tantamount to her dogs' shit collected over one week. Nobody needs that much money, and she could be actually saving lives. Instead, she's a starfucker who gets credit because she's "honest." Honest, shmonest.
She's also got the worst taste--the WORST. Except for Nate Berkus. She did good there, gay or not.
121. BibaBui - April 12, 2006 5:37 PM
It's amazing how in most of the cases useless people get all the money. I mean, they are not stupid, just useless.
Real people, cool people, making some difference in the world don't give such a big thing about Mahnolo shoes.
Well, they can have Mahnolo shoes, but they don't go screaming around "I deserve it!". They just have it. So what? If you have the money, buy it.
I'm from another country, so I just got to watch Oprah last year, when a TV channel bought the rights to broadcast it.
I can say, she is a useless person. If she dies tomorrow, big thing huh?
122. MaryBackstayge - April 12, 2006 5:43 PM
Well, if she dies tomorrow, Biba, we'll have SAINT OPRAH to deal with. Which will just be spectacular.
123. algibson - April 12, 2006 5:45 PM
I hate Oprah.
I wish a bus would hit her TODAY.
124. kimanis - April 12, 2006 6:19 PM
I used to think there was no difference in being rich or poor ie Life is Life etc. However, I recently tasted some Wolfgang Puck soup and it was the best ever...so I guess that is the goal to being richer, one can afford a better quality of life. However, its still the same Life and we can still pretend we're living it up in our mind. PS It's still gauche and unflattering to talk about money....it does not make the world go round no matter how hard capitalists wish it did!
125. krisdylee - April 12, 2006 6:23 PM
if i had a million dollars, i'd fly to chicago and bitch-slap oprah til she begs me for mercy. then i'd slap her some more.
126. oshkoshb-goshdammgosh - April 12, 2006 6:25 PM
#124 - Maybe someday you'll move out of you parents house and have bills and children and taxes to pay for and you'll understand why we hate Oprah (answer: money does, in fact, make the world go 'round). Until then I wish you luck on expanding your soup palate.
127. Beeyotch - April 12, 2006 6:28 PM
Dear Oprah,
Please do a show about why nobody likes unsympathetic self-righteous bitches.
Tootles!
128. krisdylee - April 12, 2006 6:39 PM
BTW, Osh, you sure can take it like Tom!!!!
129. BubbaHoTep - April 12, 2006 6:41 PM
At least Oprah made all of her billions herself.
And she needs more, cause all her money isn't enough for someone to devise a diet that would work for her. Send in your contributions now!
130. oshkoshb-goshdammgosh - April 12, 2006 6:45 PM
#128 - Thanks! I learned my best techniques from Jo Mama. Ms. Mama was always saying, "You really gotta stretch those orifices with cucumbers and summer squash at home the day before." And I was all like "Jo, all this talk about food is making me hungry!"
131. bigponie - April 12, 2006 6:47 PM
To quote the legendary Richard Pryor "That nigga's crazy"
132. kitty_kat - April 12, 2006 6:53 PM
Its fine and dandy for her to enjoy being rich... but did she really have to go into details about her possessions and the sheets she can afford to sleep on? By the end of that quote, it just sounded as though she were bragging about what she has. Jeez, Oprah is so fake...
133. Marceelf - April 12, 2006 6:58 PM
I guess when you are as rich as Oprah, pratesi sheets are a must when you are being mounted by your COCKer spaniels. Although Stedman says he'd rather sleep on a tweed couch than next to her ugly ass.
134. hendero - April 12, 2006 6:58 PM
Does the cover of Oprah magazine still always have a picture of Oprah on it? Not that she's an egomaniac or anything...
135. St.Minutia - April 12, 2006 7:49 PM
bjorku. How dare you assume that just because one hangs out with the Superficial crowd she does not understand how the socio-economic system works. You are a pretentious, snotty little twat with no understanding of anything. At all.
Oprah and her fat ass have accomplished 2 things for those lemings who watch her show:
1. Make people sad they are not super rich wonderful celebrity types
and 2. Make people scared they may be hurt/die from some random accident/disease/crime/fad.
She sucks. But I wish she would give me a new car. And some 2000 thread count sheets.
136. krisdylee - April 12, 2006 8:04 PM
I heard Stedman loves the cock.
137. Star Maker Machinery - April 12, 2006 8:16 PM
If I hear her "poor black girl from Mississippi" schtick one more time, I'm gonna puke in Stedman's ass. She used to have a certain hausfrau appeal, but she lost that when she coated her 50th birthday cake in gold dust. Too bad we can't transport this bitch back to the French Revolution.
138. Trotter - April 12, 2006 8:31 PM
@137 - I like the gist of your rant, but two questions:
1. How will you get access to Steadman's ass?
2. Are you busy for dinner?
139. Star Maker Machinery - April 12, 2006 8:43 PM
Trotter: I'm flattered ;) .... but seriously, I thought everyone's had a jab at Steadman's salad bowl? Just google "Oprah's gay house boy" and you'll see. No wait, that brings up Nate Berkus.
140. Jewbacca - April 12, 2006 8:47 PM
Who are the ppl who watch Oprah?? Id like to kick Oprah in the teeth.
141. Nichole - April 12, 2006 9:04 PM
LOL @ 13...well said
142. diedl - April 12, 2006 9:38 PM
m@ce - I commend you that you at least recognize that it is objectivism behind bjorku's comment, although you seem stupidly cynical about it
bjorku - I TOTALLY agree with you. People can bitch all they want about how they're just "superficial" here, but if the posts are going to post on matters that provoke debate, I say deal with it. God forbid that people actually use their brains for once.
For those of you out there who still haven't read Ayn Rand, read her. If you've read her and disagree, read it again - you missed something.
143. hotintempe - April 12, 2006 9:58 PM
#21.......LOL, that was a good one.
144. eXtasyStef - April 12, 2006 10:10 PM
#142:
Point 1: People who actually use their brains don't rely on Ayn Rand's prose to make their point, or end an argument. They also don't feel the need to insult other people to do so, unless they have no other facts or strengths to bring to said discussion.
Point 2: Since when is posting a comment about Oprah saying something ignorant in front of poor people sparking a debate on objectivism? Last I knew, that was pointing out asshat celebrity behavior. Which is what this site does, last I knew.
Point 3: The difference between we "superficials" and you is that we're secure enough in our intellectual capacity that we don't feel the need to prove it on every damned blog and forum we join. We just, oh, I don't know...HAVE FUN.
In closing, Josh, take your cardboard cutout of Oprah on a date. If you're not old enough, go back to your Young Republicans meeting until you are. Some of us spend all day using our brains, and come here so we don't have to.
145. Trotter - April 12, 2006 10:19 PM

Dumbass.

Okay, Trotter said it better. And shorter.
147. Drunk Blogger - April 12, 2006 10:34 PM
This story really pisses me off...but as soon as I'm as Rich as Oprah, I'll agree with her.
148. Trotter - April 12, 2006 10:34 PM
All in the wrist
Thanks
149. Star Maker Machinery - April 12, 2006 11:22 PM
diedl: I suggest you read "The Passion of Ayn Rand" by Barbara Branden. It exposes Rand as a hypocritical bitch and reveals that even she couldn't live up to her philosophy's lofty standards.
Now let's get back to talking about Oprah's cakehole ....
150. ning_ning - April 12, 2006 11:37 PM
I never liked her show never looked at it...I liked some of her movies she made. But she has lost touch of reality. If she has no children never seen with a man what does that tell you she a bitch... her money boosted her ego to an extreme of unreality, and to go to Africa and talk about poor people is a slap in the face.
She must remember she comes from a shack in Mississippi. Money does not buy love and happiness. She'll never get married or bear children and that's her punishment I hope she gains 300 more pounds and lose her show and ends up an old hag with a young man that will take everything she has, Karma is a muthfucka fat ungreatful bitch!
151. Trotter - April 13, 2006 12:19 AM
Whenever Miss Opie gets high and mighty we can all take solace that she's really, really fat and married to a very gay man who likes his salad tossed. Tossed hard. Almost as hard as Tom Cruise likes his favorite food: COCK!
152. ablet - April 13, 2006 1:18 AM
Ayn Rand is a fucking bitch.
153. BarryBonds - April 13, 2006 2:04 AM
Oprah may be rich but at least I'm not a minnie me Star Jones look alike....
But stil I could give a rats ass about Oprah... seriously why is she so freakin famous? Chicks are stupid for likeing this bitch, if you girls want role models start with porn stars like Asia Carrera or Angel Veil.
154. gossipmonger - April 13, 2006 2:51 AM
#129-I call my dog BubbaHoTep-what does it mean? It's a movie about Elvis isn't it?
#132-Thank you for your simple yet correct explanation of
where Oprah went wrong.
#149-I'm going to go to the library tomorrow to look for
that book.
#150-Oprah gave birth to a son when she was a teenager-she had the sense to put him up for adoption instead of
aborting him.
It is odd that with all of Oprah's millions she can't seem to
beat her weight problem.
155. sid - April 13, 2006 4:39 AM
Oprah is a very spiritual woman.
She teaches us by example.
At Christmastime, she reminds us that it's all really about "the Christ child."
Thank you, Oprah.
156. Jacq - April 13, 2006 10:52 AM

158. Hartigan'sGirl - April 13, 2006 11:59 AM
Normally, I am a huge fan of making fun of celebrities... But, I love Oprah. I don't really watch her show, but I met her on a trip to Chicago. And she is a wonderful person.
For those of you who don't know, she donates ridiculous amounts of money to a lot of charitable causes.
Next, Why would she single-handedly pay to rebuild a city that:
A. She doesn't live in or near.
B. Will be back underwater in 20 years because THEY BUILT IT BELOW SEALEVEL.
and
C. Bill Gates could pay for it, too. But you're not giving him shit.
On to what this site is really about: cxelebrity gossip. I am from a small town in the middle of cornfields in Illinois. And ocassionally, I catch a train to Chicago. One time I was up there (like 4 years ago) and was shopping in Water Tower Place. The girl I was with and I were talking about how Oprah allegedly shopped there all the time and how funny it would be to see her. We then discussed how when she goes out, she doesn't wear make up and people don't recognize her. That was a lie, because from the look she gave us when she turned around, we knew it was her. And she did look like a wrinkly skleton or something that is in desperate need of make up.
159. bemoedee - April 13, 2006 4:02 PM
I couldn't read through all of these comments because it seems like so many of you try really hard to be witty and funny like the website. It's just annoying. Stop.
RE: Oprah. The fact that she's proud of her money and not ashamed of it isn't new. She has been saying that for years. It doesn't make her a bad person, but apparently it makes everyone here jealous and spiteful.
Yes, she could donate every last cent she has to feed the poor people in Africa, but they will be hungry again in 6 months. Instead of solving the problem that way, she's building schools and educating people so they can learn to take care of themselves. She's approaching their problems with a long term solution.
I would lecture people on not being judgemental unless you know exactly what it's like to be in her shoes, but then again this is thesuperficial. So of course no one here cares about empathy. Damn haters.
160. Beeyotch - April 13, 2006 4:59 PM
bemodee? You trying to earn yourself a spot next to your Saint Oprah? Lecture? Judgmental? Empathy? Please. Remove your head from your ass and hers.
Point is she ended up making herself look like an insensitive jackass by pointing out exactly how much she has, and NOT EVEN in the context of how grateful she might be either.
Needlessly detailing your wealth to the mostly middle-class or poor public makes you a rude, gauche, unsympathetic, out-of-touch-with-reality-and-common-sense egotistical bitch. Major PR mistake. And now we're gonna ridicule her for it. Fair and square.
161. Jafoo - April 13, 2006 5:20 PM
I swear to God I don't understand why NOTHING sticks to this woman. Using your show as a platform to whine about not being allowed to crash a private event at Hermes...courageous. Calling Larry King to defend one of your stupid pet authors one day then savaging him on your show the next...courageous. Making gross comments about your own obscene wealth...courageous. Whatever.

173. UncleReggie - June 11, 2007 10:54 PM
Hey, I am 55 years old. I have been there and done almost everything. I refused to watch "Rider" and "Bay." But, IMHO, this guy deserves a break. He's not only not that bad, he's pretty damn good. Try it yourself before you pass judgement people. Is he a ground-breaking, Lennon/McCartney-type musical genius? No. Is he trying to be? No! But is he a talented TV star and pop artist? Yes! We cannot all be diamonds and pearls. But we can be competent at what we do, if we are bold enough to give it a try. David does not deserve the ridicule that you heap upon him.
174. footballplayer - July 6, 2007 3:37 AM
