DETROIT, MI — Famed talk show host and meme subject Oprah Winfrey was showered with accolades today after last night's release of a moving 1-hour special on the dangers of alcohol abuse.
According to viewers, Winfrey sat down with one of America's most well-known drunkards for an interview, presumably in a thinly veiled attempt to warn Americans just what might happen if they also succumb to the siren call of the bottle.
"It was a really powerful show," recalled Oprah fan Jack Morley. "I watched it as Oprah went through and hammed it up with whoever that other completely sozzled lady was on the show. It was a stark illustration of what can happen to a person when they fall into the abyss of alcoholism. I didn't know a human could drink that much and stay conscious."
While producers of Oprah's show said that it wasn't actually intended to be about alcohol abuse, Winfrey herself confirmed that she had hoped her message would hit home in the hearts of intemperate lushes across America.
"It's always, 'You get a beer, and you get a beer, and you get a beer!'" Winfrey complained. "I think we need to get our people back on the temperance train again. The clear message of this show is don't drink, or you could end up like this poor soul!"
At publishing time, Winfrey was reportedly considering visiting the White House to do a special talk show highlighting the plight of dementia patients.
Is Kammy her Poster Child for the alcohol abuse program?
I actually watched that episode that Whoopi gave about alcohol abuse.
And how with Kamala on the show, it was a perfect example of her being a poster child for alcohol abusers.
We saw a dark stark example of how horrible a drunk can be if said drunk wants to be president.
This one sucked me right in.
Half way through the para I’m wondering who America’s best known drunkard is!
XD XD
Not to mention, the dangers of Vodka + Xanax.
The campaign for president has officially turned into a Miss America pageant. Please, let’s skip the bathing suit section.
I have a SIL who has been shoveling in Xanax and vodka for 40+ years. And I mean shoveled, especially the Xanax.
She has been a herpes sore on the entire family's ass for the whole time. She caused me so much grief for a while that I briefly considered having a couple of cases of vodka delivered to her house in the hope that she would partake herself into the next life.
Fortunately she moved out of state and left us alone. Unfortunately she moved near her other sister and has been a nightmare for her for 10 years. I have no idea how she has lived this long.
How about a one hour special Okra on maybe...dangers of Ozempic or mRNA fake vaccines or maybe attending a party at Diddy’s crib.
obesity is a bigger and costlier threat...
LOL
The idea of an hour long sit down interview of Joetato by 0prah really tickled my funny bone. :P
“You get a diaper and you get a diaper and you get a diaper!”
Harris really does come across as a barfly on too many occasions. Most of them. She was almost certainly three sheets to the wind with Oprah.
Two tells she often displays, the inappropriate laughter and the slow, tentative and patronizing way she talks at times (like the space travel talk), as if to a class of primary school kids.
We’ll never get close enough to smell her breath, but that’s a good thing.
Was this made before or after her interview with Harris?
Got me, too lol.
Nancy Pelousy is now forcing legislation to ban the Okra alcohol special.
At the same time, and until the program is off the air, Pelousy has purchased most of the commercial time associated with the alcohol special, and is pushing her favorite type of vodka.
I am really miffed that you found this before I did, Twotone!
I must be slipping.
... and you have very good taste ...
The lead was definitely buried on that one!
Two to four ounces every two to four hours….one can down a lot of booze that way
Not a good thing
