I Hate Oprah

1. I Hate Oprah
This guy really hates Oprah. I actually feel sorry for her. In my opinion, Oprah has spent her entire career trying to improve her self image. For decades she has been trying out all the new fad diets and self-help programs, falling for the scams, and then preaching about them to her hoards of devoted followers. A few months later when the false feeling of hopefulness has worn away, she finds the next Wayne Dyer or Atkins Diet and the whole cycle starts over again. Earlier this week it was psychics and today it is The Secret again.

6 Million Dollar Dolphin

5. 6 Million Dollar Dolphin
Japanese zoologists and Bridgestone Tire manufacturers have developed a prosthetic tail for a dolphin with out one of her own. They didn't spend 6 million bucks, but £42,000 is still a lot of money.

Oprah could easily buy her own island and make herself into a cyborg. She wouldn't need to diet then, and she could fly women who apparently enjoy being scammed in. Then she can brainwash into doing the scam diets and reading scammy authors while listening to scamming celebrities talk about their new scam of a movie/tv show/record and after that she can have scamming-ass "therapists" and "doctors" and "coaches" come in and sell sell sell!!! The best part about all of it is, it wouldn't be on TV anymore. Please Oprah, put your money toward the good of humanity.
