    Never been a big fan of Oprah, or anyone who bases their entire career around “Look how generous and righteous I am”, while earning huge profits for doing it. It will never not rub me the wrong way.

    These people may inject some good into the world for a few people, but building your fame and fortune around it is a bit morally fucked.

      Oprah built her empire on the backs of all the slow adults and little people she victimized during her first few years.

      “Look how generous and righteous I am”

      Also Drake. Also Shaq.

      Both give away heaps of money… but only in front of heaps of planned cameras rolling.

      That’s not charity. That’s using the poor for PR and clicks for profit, no different from Bum Fights.

      Change my mind.
