So how about the shark-jumping Oprah tribute to TC (or gay dwarf midget according to Lainey)? It’s so good to be able to be home with the mini-van majority to witness Oprah’s descent into TV oblivion. She could hardly pull off the sincerity act -he must have some interesting information about her to force her to ‘emote’ on such an icky level. Who bought that? There was some serious under current on that set. My gag reflex stayed in a heightened state for both the broadcasts.

She (Oprah) also keeps promoting her ‘landmark’ web dog and pony show with yet another German who has combined philosophy with religion (Werner Airhead, anybody?) and come up with a completely original ‘cult’? Oprah drank that cool aid and her confused followers don’t want to be left out so they’re playing along.
What does this guy’s ‘course’ tell you? Be empty-headed, feel nothing. It’s like ‘The Secret’, every motivational cliche ever written compiled into one book. C’mon, it’s a compilation put together by a TV producer (yes, there is some envy to her foresight on my part). But where is our discernment? Are we so desperate we’ll drink the cool-aid and eat the empty white bread in an attempt to fill our souls? You bet. Oprah knows. Her soul is in need of filling. She’s just a TV journalist with a huge ego who has built an empire on her emptiness. Madonna, (the McD’s) of pop star marketing keeps seeking the next new thing too because her soul is empty and the sheep follow.

Was giving TC air time to pretend Scientology is ok her attempt at ‘fair air-play’? Or is she trying to negate the bad press about her own descent into ‘cult’ pseudo-religious zeal. “Hey, that new earth stuff is not as bad as Thetans and Xenu!” Step back and look at that sentence all ye women of mini vans. Open thine eyes to the empty reality being shoved into you every day. Wise up and turn off Oprah.

But watch the nice, gentle lifestyle shows on the cable channels. I still need to work.
