"Regular viewers, like those in Macon, may remember how much Oprah loves cleaning and spot removal..." This is a quote from one of the items on Oprah's Favorite Things of 2007.
The whole thing makes me physically ill. There is a list, a show and a shopping list dedicated to the consumerable products that Oprah "likes" best during the year. I had to look at the list.
As suspected, it is just a list of products being advertised with the Oprah seal of approval. And all the products will sell like hotcakes!
They are, not surprisingly, luxury items. The cheapest thing was a small tub of sorbet for $5 with the most expensive being a refrigerator with a tv and other items of which I am unsure what their purpose is that retails for about $3700.
It is gross and offensive. The thing stinks of commercialism in its ripest form. Women who answer the call of Oprah will go to the website and look at the list of crap. They will then find something in their price range, regardless of need or want, and ask for it for Christmas from their family members. Brilliant really.
While they think that they are getting items that will demonstrate how in tune they are with their favourite daytime host, Oprah is nearly marketing or endorsing these items for financial gain - she is no doubt being paid to represent these items.
It is terrible. Should you want to view the list for yourself, here is the link. Be warned. Can you really trust a woman that supposedly slips into these after every show?
