The Oprah-haters abounding on the Internet are mostly young, and of a generation raised not only online, but on Oprah.

Xer Ping

Ping list for the discussion of the politics and social (and sometimes nostalgic) aspects that directly effects Generation Reagan / Generation-X (Those born from 1965-1981) including all the spending previous generations (i.e. The Baby Boomers) are doing that Gen-X and Y will end up paying for.

"It's like a church following. "

It is ALOT like a cult following for women who look forward to buying their next pair of shoes...

I can't stand Oprah. She just never ever ever ever shuts up.

The only people worse than Oprah fans are those who make a point of saying how much they hate Oprah.

I'm not a fan of her or her show, in that I've never watched or paid attention to it or her. However, if she's able to pile up loot by the truckload in our wonderful capitalist society, I'm all for it.

I figure that Oprah can use the capitalist system to make as much money and as big an empire as she wants, in any way she wants. Good for her.

On the other hand I do not have to partake. Good for me.

In the end, I think her biggest Achilles heel right now is for it all to come tumbling down due to overexposure. You get to big, with too many irons in the fire and it gets pretty hard to maintain. So if I were her adviser, I would say NOW is the time to scale back and leave them wanting more.

I can hardly stand to hear about her, yet most of my female friends seem to lose their frontal lobes at the very mention of her name. Oprah Said It, and That Settles It. Puh-leeze

One of the lead-ins to a recent program included video of a woman claiming there were "twelve bodies under that pile of debris, right there" as she pointed to storm debris.

The sound over other parts of the lead-in described the devistation and that this wasn't some third world country, it was ours, and shockingly it hadn't been corrected yet.

I do believe that Oprah does some good, but this didn't seem to me to be a very productive endeavor. My wife likes to watch Oprah, and I used words to describe this trash that even surprised me. I was po'd to say the least.

The ongoing Oprahfication of America sickens me on a daily basis.

The Barney haters are maturing into young adults.

Not only do I dislike Oprah, it's made worse by her pimping of the horrible Rachel Ray.

Oprah is like Martha Stewart, in that in the times I've watched her, she just makes me feel flawed and inadequate.

I'm ready for a talkshow host to say, "you're ok just the way you are, don't try to be perfect"!
