What would Oprah Do?
I have 2 strange obsessions - new jersey and oprah. My pal over at b.michael.baker has started blogging and put up an educated post on medical insurers and oprah. What i find fascinating about Oprah is that there are only 2 type of people in the world - those who love oprah and those that have a love/hate relationship with oprah. If you truly can't stand her, you are just insane. She does way too much good for people through her love of charity and recognizing where she has come from. This goes far beyond her just giving for the sake of giving. What I can't take about oprah is exactly what B.michael.baker talks about; oprah lately is using her insane power over the consumer to push products down everyone's throat. Then she says she just does it to make peoples dreams come true. I don't mind when someone like don imus pushes a book he reads or even when trump tells us that burger king is good for us, but i don't like when someone is pushing a car that they would never drive and saying it's a dream come true.. you get a pontiac.. you get a pontiac...
