Enough Oprah!!!

Announced recently, the Discovery Health television network will soon become OWN -- Oprah Winfrey Network. 

In my mind, I can't imagine that I am the only person in this entire world that is sick and tired of the constant ego trip that Oprah Winfrey lives.  A magazine featuring her face on every issue.  A school for kids in Africa -- despite the need for such a school in any impoverished area of any metropolis in America -- that bears her name but abuses the kids.  A television talk show that has become predictable in every facet.  And now a television network?!?!

Gimme a break.  Her ego has taken over.  If a sports celebrity, say Michael Jordan, decided to start a book club, open the Jordan Boys and Girls club of Chicago, create Air Magazine with his likeness plastered on the cover every single issue, and buy half of NBA TV so we could watch all Jordan, all the time, I guarantee the critics would be plentiful.  But if Oprah does it, she's just giving back!  Look, the last thing Oprah has ever done was give back.  Oh, it may seem like she's giving back when she gives everyone in the audience a new car (even though technically, I'm sure not a single dime came from her pocket), but the money she made after that news hit the airwaves easily dwarves any 'efforts' on her part. 

Well what about the Legends Ball she through not too long ago?  She threw a party for a bunch of famous people!  I threw a party for a bunch of unfamous people and ABC did not want to film it.  Hell, I'm not sure Oprah even deserved to be in that select group of folks. 

Oprah is a fraud.  She may be loved by millions but in my mind (and this doesn't make me a hater -- and if it does who cares), she's a fraud.  An ego driven, narcissistic attention-whore.
