Michael's 50 Cent? Let's see if 50 Cent collaborates with Michael Jackson, the child molestor, on Michael's next album. already blasted Oprah for "catering to white women." Who does he cater to, thugs? Isn't Oprah a successful business woman and in doing business found her audience and customer (client) and catered to him/her. If white women are her biggest supporters why shouldn't she cater to them? But that doesn't mean Oprah hasn't done good things for blacks. He should have taken a look at her philanthropy record before opening his sabor toothed mouth! Catering to thugs, I'm sure he'll collaborate with Michael.

I just visited a blog with so many ads on it that the "content" was the last thing to load. I thought it strange that the purpose of the blog would load after the advertisements. Of course the purpose could be the money that comes in because of the ads.

Snake oil salesman, James Frey

Technorati Tag
People are more concerned with proving Oprah was duped (was wrong) and gloating, almost celebrating over it rather than being outraged and annoyed that James Frey and his publishers sold snake oil as the new "make it all better" ointment (so to speak). Reminds me of the book Beloved, the portion which describes a celebration of sorts, when the neighborhood folks are invited to Baby Sugg's to eat good food, drink, dance and enjoy themselves. The following day, those neighborhood folks, awakened to outrage and jealousy over what they consider an overabundance of blessings bestowed upon Baby Sugg's (even though she is willing to share). There are jealous hateful people who despise Oprah's success and philanthropy and this Frey mess seems to have given them cause and ammunition for strange inappropriate glee.
