oprah is a giant wind bag

i don't like her nor do i like anything or anyone she has on her show (as a rule). i don't watch her show, i guess i should say that too. i have seen it here and there, bits and pieces. she makes me want to puke. her false gushing. she gushes over EVERYONE on her show. i don't like gushers. like i said, IT MAKES ME WANT TO PUKE

this book is a piece of steamin' shite. cults work the very same way. they see a hole in someone's soul and they go RIGHT FOR IT. they find your weak spot and pick at it until they fill that weak spot with THEIR greed and wanting of power.

i DO believe in positive thinking. at the same time i KNOW me wishing for world peace or 100,000,000 dollars isn't going to happen JUST because i wish for it or WANT it. life doesn't work that way. AND I'M TELLING YOU THAT SECRET FOR FREE

(i also have a tape of the secret of the universe somewhere. if i ever find it i'll make copies and send them to anyone who wants one for FREE. i'm not kidding. it IS the secret of the universe. it involves singing at the top of your lungs every song you know along with all of your friends and neighbors doing the very same thing. there are also pencils and magnets involved and if i remember correctly a soft ball game (i may have been catching- smoking a butt in one hand and holding a beverage in the other). i may have been drunk when i made this movie, but it's STILL the secret of the entire universe. i swear it)

DEPT. OF SNAKE OIL
Self-Help's Slimy 'Secret'
By Tim Watkin


It's the publishing phenomenon of the year so far, a small book with a parchment-brown cover engraved with the image of a red wax seal.
"The Secret," its title proclaims matter-of-factly, as if the slim volume held the answer to life's deepest mysteries. Which is precisely what it purports to do. Written by an Australian television producer, this latest contribution to the bursting shelves of New Age self-helpiana has come out of nowhere to sell more than 1.3 million copies in the United States alone............


................It's all so laughably nutty. And it would be harmless but for the millions buying the book and DVD and the exposure that "The Secret" is getting from the likes of Winfrey and Larry King. And for the danger lurking in its philosophy..........

..............That isn't just implied, it's spelled out: "The only reason why people do not have what they want is because they are thinking more about what they don't want than what they do want." By this logic, Holocaust victims brought it on themselves, as did those who lost their homes in Hurricane Katrina. Come on, New Orleans, get over it! Think positive..........

p.s. i just remembered another thing i'm pissed at oprah about. i wnet to the bookstore a while ago to get a friend a copy of 'one hundered years of solitude' by gabriel garcia marquez. slapped right there on the cover was something like, 'as chosen by oprah winfrey's book club'. SHITE now a bunch of asswipes is reading that book
