WAT? (part 2)

Note: Edited for accuracy; my first clip was NOT from the episode I claimed it was.

Oprah.
Winfrey.

Oh, how I despise ye. You spread your pestilence of ignorance far and wide. Case in point: "The Secret." Not familiar? That's probably because you are a thinking person. It's a book that says you can have anything you want as long as you want it hard enough (read: don't really do anything.) Don't believe me? Here's a great parody summary. This is a great example of how she spreads misinformation to the credulous. It's not just insulting; it can be downright dangerous (I'm looking at you, Jenny McCarthy.)

Her latest kick, albeit not as potentially harmful to society, is documented here for your edification:


Okay, not so bad... a show about how to talk to your kids about sex. Great! But what could they be referencing when Oprah says there will be outrage? Oh, it's just the expert saying that parents should introduce their daughters to vibrators. Let me be clear: I'm not saying that you should shame your kids into fear of masturbation. But imagine how you would be affected if your sex talk went someting like this:
"Okay, Susie... you're a big girl now. Let me introduce you to my friend, Mr. Wiggles..."
