Oprah Winfrey, is it possible, she too incorporated?

Yes! I have seen the Oprah Winfrey show for probably, about thirty years now. Well, I do not watch anymore but I use to, when she competed against the Phil Donahue Show, way back when the dinosaurs roamed the earth, and we drove horse back to the general store for supplies.

I thought Oprah was innovating. Her shows were always different and you learned something from what you watched. Those days, there were not celebrities all the time, but there were some very interesting topics. She kept Phil on his toes, trying to out do her. I could not wait for three o'clock to catch an hour of Oprah.

I even liked it when she would have Angel Mondays. That day, once a week, when someone out of the audience would do something nice, planned of course, for the guest who was on. Random Acts of Love was the theme and it was touching. She has done some wonderful things for people through the years.

She has re-invented herself also. I have seen her big, with big hair, small, and big and small again. I have seen her cry and dodge questions about her personal life. But now, all I see is OPRAH in big letters everywhere I go. She has a magazine in her name. She is on prime time giving away stuff. A million dollars, the other day, was given out. She gives out presents to her audience and gives the audience cars. She has her own book collection, she makes money on. Is it me, or is she just becoming a corporation, a business?

She has cried on the show and told stories of abuse as a child, she has cried and talked to her guests as they cry. She has shows with people wearing bras, so they can be told why their bodies are wrong for their bras. She had those two awful women from England, who put people down about their clothes after they show them in their underwear. (Like they are so great looking?)

Oprah has been a guru of Secrets of Life and living, because she sees all and knows all. She is not a PHD but she gives advice as she was one.

She made Rachel Ray great and discovered. Now Rachel has her own show because of Oprah. Once she had her assistant brought out because she had droopy eye lids and had her through surgery, so she would look better.

Why do we listen to Oprah? She is just a diva who likes getting her way. She loves attention in any form she can. (Maybe we should analyze Oprah, sounds like she did not get enough attention at home, growing up?)

She has become bigger than life. And she is only a woman. I say, let's turn Oprah off. She needs a rest. There has been many decades of hard work, I for one am tired of helping to make her rich. And, believe it or not, there are better things, to learn from. Why don't we turn off the television and find it? Life is fun, even without Oprah.
