Chucky Made Oprah Binge on Mac&Cheese

Are Blowguns legal where you live?

Yup.

If I had a private Chef I'd tell him/her the foods I don't like and let him/her go from there.  I wouldn't plan the foods, I wouldn't cook them, I wouldn't clean up later, I'd only be responsible for eating them.  Sounds like heaven to me.

Chatty- I like the way you think!
Good lord, I'd end up weighing 600lbs!

I've hardly ever seen Oprah; it's just not something high on my list of  things to do. But I do have to respect her; she managed to carve out an empire. She's a self-made person and I respect people like that. Same thing with Schwarzenegger - he put his mind to it, worked hard, and became a superstar.

I hear you Moonshaodw...not sure why so much anger towards Oprah.

I don't watch her, nor are men included in her target audience. She is a highly successful business woman who has created an empire. I will never watch her network, but she has her own network!

Good for her, Tyra Banks is next in line.

I think if Oprah was in a horror movie where she was brutally murdered and dismembered and then came back to life as an Oprah zombie and then got killed again...  it would be more successful than Beloved or Bride of Chucky.

Beloved is a literary classic from Toni Morrison. Her novels are complex and they are difficult to condense into a 2 hour movie that would translate into money.

It wasn't a money maker, but demographically the movie was/is a success.

Bride of Chucky doesn't belong in the same breath as Beloved...

In the end, Oprah is an empire all her own.

Harrison Ellison called television a "vast intellectual wasteland". Even more to the point with The Oprah, he called it "a glass teat". Look at The Oprah's minions, jumping up and down and screaming like idiots at each vapid pronouncement, running out to buy the latest tome at her command,  gobbling up the newest vacuous spiritual mumbo-jumbo from her latest guru (who usually contradicts her last guru, but the lemmings never seem to notice).

Harrison Ellison might be a prophet.

Bride of Chucky has a 5.3 IMDb rating
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0144120/

Beloved has a 5.7 IMDb rating

I haven't seen Bride of Chucky, but Beloved sucked as a movie.  Oprah did go out and pee in the yard in it though.

Read the book...then watch the movie, it's difficult to put a visual text to the novel. Toni Morrison is one of the leading Black intellectuals of our time.

Scatter my firend, it's all about demographics. Black women love her, Black men respect her, Women love her...demographics my friend...

I'm aware of the demographics. But it cuts a bit deeper than that. The diminished capacity for critical thought cuts across all demographics, and propels her empire. Many folks simply need someone they can blindly follow.

Well, most people are searching for something. I can think of worse things for them to follow than Oprah.

But I can't deny that I often wonder if the vast majority of people ever actually think about what they profess to believe, or if they just blindly accept whatever they're told by whoever they follow.

I wonder what would happen if I said that watching Oprah made me binge on Corn nuts and Red Bull.

I agree on that. But to go deeper, she is a successful, rich  Black business woman. That causes more vitriol towards her than gets credit for.

Please understand, I am not saying you and anyone on this board shares this thought, but it is widely discussed in the Black community.

Race has nothing to do with it. Its all about the message she sends.
