Oprah, the next John Walsh

Palermo · October 11th, 2005, 07:37 PM

I am sitting here watching Oprah and although I think what she is doing is a good thing of course, she is so over the top. She singlehandedly will catch all the child molesters in America, it's the reason she "was put here".

All I can say is if she does it's the power of television, just like America's Most Wanted is.

Her ego knows no bounds

(my brother is a detective, so I have a good idea of what they go through on these cases)

True, her ego is getting more expansive than that cart of fat she rolled out years back after she went on Medifast, but I think her new focus will do more good than harm.

I hope they nab those sickos, and I don't care how.

you're right, and I definitely think they should castrate them when they do

But unforch, that would only turn them on...

Palermo, you must be inside my head because as soon as I saw the title of this thread, I thought the exact same thing.

I would truly admire Oprah for all she has done if she didn't have to preface everything with "I". "I did this..." and "I did that..." I remember watching Nate on her show after the Tsunami and thinking how long before she's going to turn his tragedy around into something that makes her look good (ie saving the world with her good deeds). Sure enough, it didn't take long.

Exactly! She cannot stop talking about herself and she interrupts everybody. Today's show was about the poor in America and Anderson Cooper said this one little black girl he interviewed had such potential if she had been born into a different family, she was such a star. And Oprah actually said "she reminds me of me at that age". Oh Lord.

I never used to watch Oprah but now somehow I can't turn away, it's just like watching a train wreck. But her cult of fans will continue to scream and support her forever.

yeah, she is annoying. she thinks she is jesus ( kathy griffin said that in one of her routines). of course im glad she does so much good but maybe she does have a messiah complex!

Here, here. I saw that episode and there he was, crying his eyes out over his dead lover and she was trying to make it about her. And yes, she's doing a good thing with the child molestor thing, but castration won't change them...they still, most of them, have ten digits to use.

she does have five billion women watching her show... so someone is bound to reconize one of the guys. she should start her own americas most wanted.
