Sit and Interview and make easy money. That's what certain media people call "Hard Work"
Sweet Kristind, I understand you are a loyal follower of "Queen" Oprah and she can do no wrong. And yes my thread was sarcasm towards her for using this as a way to promote her movie. You are not going to get me to trash the salesperson for being polite and doing her job. Neither she nor the store used racist remarks, those came from Oprah and got her name and her movie the spotlight which is what she desired. And she ain't no lady, but my being a gentleman keeps me from saying what she really is. But if you can explain why she was willing to make remarks that could do harm to a business (where they sell over price items I might add) and try and get a person fired (the salesperson was so upset that she offered to quit, but she had a good boss who turned her offer down) makes her a good person and a lady I would enjoy hearing it.
Look Oprah buys her audience by giving way gifts to them. The show I enjoyed most (and it was the one time I watched her show all the way thru as I was a guess in the house where the women were watching, she made a statement that there was NO gift (I think she was joking about a car), but the greedy dumb people in her audience went wild and jumped up and down and shouted because in their minds they were getting a free car. She tried to tell them the truth and even looked quite embarrassed, but the fools just kept jumping up and down. I got a good laugh as well as the other guys watching. It showed that mind frame that her viewers are in and that they really don't listen to her. Just as in this case where people didn't listen to the full story and see what she was doing plugging her film at the cost to others. She is Queen Oprah and they are her serfs. They only hear what they want to hear.
And please sweet lovely Kristind, in all fairness, you may call me anything you want, including calling me to dinner, but please don't call me a politican. That is very unlady like.
so, to sum it up...
Oprah's bad for having too much money. Oprah's bad for giving people extravagant gifts. Oprah's bad cause she doesn't earn her money. Oprah's bad cause she wants people to see her movie. Oprah's bad for expecting customer service. Oprah's bad for wanting to see a purse she liked. Oprah's bad cause someone didn't want to show her the purse. Oprah's bad cause she's on tv. Oprah's bad cause at one time she didn't have any money. Oprah's bad cause fill in the blank. ok, we get it. Oprah's bad because she gives an average of 40 million dollars to charitable orginizations a year (look it up - it may even be more). Oprah's bad cause ______.
there we go. nice and tidy.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Laides I understand you like Oprah and there is nothing wrong with that. She is a very lucky woman, being in the right place at the right time. As a talk show hostess she is pretty good. But, ladies you are missing the point. The bottom line is that she used a false charge against a woman whose only crime was helping her at a store, and yes a very overprice store for people who like to throw their money away, but that is their right. She wanted to push her film so she made racist charges that were complete false. She was willing to hurt another human and a business to make money for herself. You ladies see nothting wrong with that, unless it happens to you, but as long as it happens to someone else who cares, right? I see nothing wrong with someone making an honest living and if they are lucky or if they are hard workers and have funds to spend to buy nice things for themselves and if they find it in themselves to help others, without strings, then I have lots of respect for them.
I like to tease girls, but sometimes you pretty darlings take things so serious and add drama. I guess that is why women have BBF one minute and then want to tear their hair out the next over some foolish act.
And I still feel that I was right in what I said about the talk show hostess. It was not ladylike what she did. But she did get her movie on the news more than others, had people talking about the movie and her and it has worked. Sometimes it really pays to stab people in the back to get ahead. (Now I'm going to hear about that).
And when I was making fun of her giving gifts, it was not HER that I was joking about, but the people who came to her show and were so greedy, for that seemed to be the main reason they go, that even when the talk show hostess tried to explain to them there was no gift, they would not listen. It seems to be a thing about the people who worship the Queen not listening. And by the way I am not the one who first called her Queen of Television. Complain to the people on TV and the mags.
And guys, a word of warning. Never talk bad about some entertainer or politician that women adore no matter what that person may do. It is better to live in a world of "reality show type fantasy" then try to point out facts. You will never make points with the ladies.
Gotta work on that backstroke a little harder than that, Scott. You're sounding like a politician now.
