Of course most had to sell the cars to pay the $7,000 in taxes they owed on them.

Nice gift Oprah :roll:

Alright moron...do you realize even selling those cars 10% below MSRP they're still selling them for at LEAST $24,000. That's $17,000 they have to do whatever they want with. Hell say they sold it for $20,000. That's a FREE $13,000.

God forbid Oprah wants to do something nice for teachers. :roll:

Shouldn't you be working?

Anyway, you don't have to have shame when you're worth $200+ million.


I am at work.



Dell 30" LCD TVs and Sony notebooks were given out left and right on the show. I'd go crazy too.

Last week, a lot of the guys in Hot Deals were busting their nuts just to get a coupon from the Dellf game.

Good luck selling them, a lot of Oprah's audience comes from the chicagoland area. There's not much of a market for 200 identical Pontiacs. 200 identical Hondas, yeah, 200 Pontiacs, no.

I don't know what your problem is...yes, Oprah has more money than I can imagine, and even though the stuff may not come out of her pocket, she still had something to do with making someone's day better... and in some cases, someon's life better! If they can't afford the tax on the item, I'm sure they are not forced to take it. :thumbsup: for Oprah!

Its not what shes doing but the way in which she does it. Now that she has all the money in the world, she seeks exert her power and enjoy doing so. She throws items at people, justto see them quiver in their chair and jump up and down. It makes her feel wanted and needed, and like some sort of God.

If I were to throw dollar bills around in Harlem or some mexican community, generating a flurry - would you see me as robin hood, or some sick freak who gets a kick out of playing God?

Once a year Oprah gives away her favourite stuff to her entire audience.

This year she gave the stuff away to underpaid teachers.

She got them a plasma tv, notebook computer, $1000 gift certificate to Office Depot... some clothes..

I am happy she does this stuff.. considering how underpaid teachers are in the USA.

I actually happened to watch Oprah today, because I was at my parents' house helping my mom cook for Thanksgiving dinner. I don't think it was like that at all.

Oprah seemed really happy that she could make other people happy, and I don't see how anyone could have a problem with that, especially when you're giving it away to teachers.

Oprah wants to be watched, giving away tv will make people watch her more. Because some where on the tv will be an oprah button and eat and get fat as oprah

She'll do anything 'charitable' in front of the camera. If she had purchased the TV's herself and then gave them to her audience, that's a different story. She gets them from the manufacturing company and just gives them out (and some women are stupid enough to think that Oprah is buying it for them).

For instance, the cars that she 'gave' to her audience is nothing but a marketing/advertising ploy. Like she really cares about her audience enough to just give them cars. If she did, she would have purchased them herself and paid all the taxes on them.

No shame, but a nice ass. I'd hit it.
There oughta be a poll here.
"Which would you rather hit?"
1.) Thin Oprah.
2.) Fat Oprah.
3.) Oprah with a nice Steadman topping.
4.) I wouldn't tap that with your dick.

she gives about $51 million to charity every year.

just because the give-aways have promotional tie-ins doesn't necessarily make them evil.
