  • chanop, on 05/27/2008, -3/+45Tremors? GET ON THE ROOF! Graboids!
  • mrogi, on 05/27/2008, -1/+34The demise of Oprah's magazine and TV ratings are costing her millions of dollars per year. If Oprah continues to lose money at this rate in 4,000 years Oprah will be broke.
  • FearFactory, on 05/27/2008, -0/+30She can easily get her ratings back if she starts giving out free SUVs to the sexually repressed soccermoms in the audience each week.
  • sensor, on 05/27/2008, -5/+31Seriously. Who the ***** cares?
  • inactive, on 05/27/2008, -29/+50She's a fat pig who seems to have hypnotized similarly fat middle class American white women. They fawn over her every word like some sort of cult, buy products that Oprah tells them to, vote for whom Oprah tells them to etc. Its really sickening how weak minded some people can be and not think for themselves.
  • FreshHaikus, on 05/27/2008, -1/+21um..so why do you watch then?
  • ConfusedCartman, on 05/27/2008, -13/+32On yesterday's episode(Memorial Day) she didn't even mention our troops, let alone set aside a minute to remember the fallen. She spent her time talking about being an ambassador to another country. I ***** hate her.
  • orlyfactor, on 05/27/2008, -1/+19Attractive? You been to the optometrist lately?
  • RaynOfDarkness, on 05/27/2008, -3/+18At least her minge wont have to commit suicide this time!
  • lewhich, on 05/27/2008, -0/+15you actually watch her show?
  • orlyfactor, on 05/27/2008, -1/+14My sentiments exactly. The average digger probably shares very little in common with the average Oprah viewer, notably the ability to view live boobs whenever they want to.
  • inactive, on 05/27/2008, -1/+13She has gotten way too holier than thou over the past few years. She clearly has a superiority complex now.
  • TheCooler72, on 05/27/2008, -6/+17Are you serious? You can't find someone worth hating more than Oprah?
  • jcorn1, on 05/27/2008, -6/+17It is often tricky when talk show hosts start pushing political candidates and, believe me, this statement says NOTHING about my political beliefs. Think of the major talk show hosts, though, and how often many of them tread carefully when it came to political endorsements.
  • PicklesNCheese, on 07/24/2008, -12/+23I can't believe the amount of apathy you people have for someone who spends their time building schools and donating to American programs you've never given the time of day. Twice this past year I've met educators who have have done amazing things themselves because they met Oprah and were inspired by her example. I don't have to be a fan of her show to respect the fact that at least she's out there doing something positive with her life.
  • phaseblue, on 05/27/2008, -1/+11FTA: "Ms. Winfrey is embarking on what is perhaps her biggest project yet: the start-up of OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network" Picturing all of the quickly-disappointed youth who first discover the "OWN" network.
  • inactive, on 05/27/2008, -1/+11psh. whatever. She probably doesn't give a **** if her talk show, magazine, or public appearance goes in the can - she has way too much money to care.
  • gabe0463, on 05/27/2008, -1/+10How do 7 million viewers make you "queen of all media?" I'm sure the weather chick from Fox NFL Sunday has more viewers - and I know Rush Limbaugh has 20+ Million every day...
  • inactive, on 05/27/2008, -3/+12Hi, Oprah!
  • jpetok, on 05/27/2008, -0/+8Gives a new meaning to OWNed
  • inactive, on 05/27/2008, -2/+10Modern liberals believe that there's a certain amount, above which, the government should confiscate all wealth and redistribute.
  • InThePants, on 05/27/2008, -3/+11Whenever someone talks about supporting the troops, I can't help but get this mental image of someone who drives a '92 chevy pickup with a gun rack and confederate flag in the window.

    SUPPERT ERRR TROOPS. DIS IS AMERRRCA IF YOU DONT LIKE IT YOU CUN GIT OUT! DEY AINT DYIN IN EYE-RACK FER NOTHIN! DEYS DYIN FER YOU!
  • gabe0463, on 05/27/2008, -0/+8Will OWN constantly feature her face, like her magazine does?
  • lewhich, on 05/27/2008, -3/+10you must be kiddin' ... I don't give a damn about her, but jeez! if oprah is the worst person in your world, then you must be living very far from hell.
  • bentman78, on 05/27/2008, -1/+8It's her money, she does what she wants with it. Because you're rich doesn't entitle you to give it away.

    Your probably better off than most in this world, how much have you given to charity?
  • mastazed, on 05/27/2008, -3/+10i hate oprah. if i have to watch her show w/ my girlfriend one more time... i am going to kill somebody
  • curseoflou, on 05/27/2008, -4/+10yes! u just gave me a chub.
  • hollismb, on 05/27/2008, -1/+7Maybe she took the day off and it was a re-run? Just a thought.
  • raginglepton, on 05/27/2008, -1/+7Give me a damn link where I do not have to register to read the article...
  • GeneralCopper, on 05/27/2008, -0/+6Maybe it's because she started a cult (or helped start... whatever is it) and many people are boycotting her now.
  • BrewBeau, on 05/27/2008, -2/+8OMG you're right. Let me subscribe to your newsletter!
  • dlm85, on 05/27/2008, -1/+7Oprah is a couple of stories away from losing the majority of her audience. I am somewhat suspicious that she may be a Scientology's based on her on air kiss ass sessions with Tom Cruise, John Travolta and Will Smith. I also have doubts about the Stedman relationship. The relationship between her and Gayle makes me wonder.
  • inactive, on 05/27/2008, -5/+11I'm not a biblical scholar, not even very religious, but I don't recall reading about Jesus advocating the government confiscate and redistribute the wealth. As you strangely suggest.
  • Bersy, on 05/27/2008, -1/+6wtf is this registration *****? buried.
  • BrissyBoy, on 05/27/2008, -0/+5Bill O'Reilly comes to mind.
    Maybe she is the new leftie version of him.
  • BrewBeau, on 05/27/2008, -2/+7A lot of people are still racist. As long as she's acting white and having mostly white guests, then the closet racist middle-aged women love her. Because they can turn around and say "I'm not racist, I watch Oprah." But as soon as she starts having a majority of her guests be black and supports the first black presidential candidate that has a very good chance of winning, she's become "one of them" or is no longer "one of the good ones".

    The same thing happened to OJ. Granted he's a murderer, but before any of the evidence surfaced, and he was just accused, all the white people who loved watching him play football and play Nordburg suddenly turned on him.
  • bentman78, on 05/27/2008, -1/+6That's what disgusts me right there...
    We have forgotten what memorial day is. There was an estimated 750,000 rolling thunder bikers in DC this weekend...it was great.
  • pintomp3, on 05/27/2008, -4/+9she's not the one sending them off to die.
  • devinmurphy, on 05/27/2008, -1/+6Breaking news! Live coverage of Oprah's BOWEL MOVEMENTS! Stay tuned for more.
  • inactive, on 05/27/2008, -5/+9Not just modern liberals, but old ones too, I can remember one such liberal who advocated the abandonment of wealth, bit of a rebel.. what was his name? Oh, yes, Jesus of Nazareth.
  • v1c1ous, on 05/27/2008, -6/+10It's because she is buddy-buddy with Tom Cruise and keeps retrying to jump-start his failing career with appearances
  • SuperVepr308, on 05/27/2008, -1/+5She/It is on my top five list. Been there for a long time...
  • orangefly, on 05/27/2008, -1/+5she always looks stoned....
  • Chadh21, on 05/27/2008, -1/+5Wow, who would have guessed Digg users care about Oprah.
  • Chirp08, on 05/27/2008, -1/+5Why in the ***** do you care if Oprah is a lesbian?
  • TheCooler72, on 05/27/2008, -4/+8"She's proved, by supporting obama, that she thinks of her self as a black first and as a woman second."
    As if people only vote based on race and gender. You don't think it possible that she actually believes Barack would make a better president?
  • inactive, on 05/27/2008, -0/+3It's about time.
  • jendemonium, on 05/27/2008, -0/+3Tremors? What, did she trip and fall?
  • Princeamor, on 05/27/2008, -0/+3Not even her pockets! She's already made enough money... so it doesn't really matter... What's 7%?
