Oprah Channels Tony Robbins For Her Final Show


You know how Courtney Love said that if you drink Ayahuasca tea a wise old black man will take you on fantastical journey of spiritual fuckery, or some shit? I think Courtney Love got it wrong. If you drink Ayahuasca, you'll hallucinate the final episode of Oprah, because that shit took me into the roots of a mighty oak tree and didn't let me go. Oprah PREACHED (in ALL-CAPS like that) hard.

Oprah didn't come out, rip off her skin suit and reveal she's the real Jesus before telling the audience to look under their seats for VIP tickets to the Rapture. Gayle also didn't come out, grab Oprah by the hand and lead her to a church where all her past guests greeted her with smiles. None of that happened. Instead, Oprah spent the entire hour preaching out a motivational speech and reflecting on what she's learned during the past 25 years. Even Maya Angelou was like, "Too much, girl. Too much." Here's a few pieces of what The Mighty O said today:

Your real job in life is to figure out what your calling is, and then do it.

You can help somebody, you can listen, you can forgive, you can heal, you have the power to change someone’s life. Start embracing the life that is calling you, and use your life to serve the world.

Take responsibility for your life. You are responsible for the energy you create for yourself and the energy you bring to others.

You don’t have to depend on anyone else. ’Jerry Maguire’ was just a movie. No one completes you.

Pay it forward. Be that safe harbor for somebody else. Connect, embrace, liberate, love somebody, just one person, then spread that to two, then as many as you can. You’ll see the difference it makes.

For all of you who get riled up when I mention God and you want to know which God I’m talking about, I’m talking about the same one you’re talking about. I’m talking about the alpha and omega, the omniscient, the underpresent, the ultimate consciousness, the source, the force, the all of everything there is, the one and only G-o-d. That’s the one I’m talking about. God is love. And god is life. And your life is always speaking to you.

THE HELL?! I thought Oprah was going to spend the hour spilling the real shit. You know, talking about how she once got drunk and made out with Suze Orman in her meditation room. Or how Dr. Phil always has coke breath. Or how she and Gayle fried up that wagon of lard she brought out and ate it with a side of home fries. Instead of that, Oprah spewed out a bunch of lyrics from a Lady Gaga song. What the hell kind of farewell is that?!

Your insightful and intelligent post was right on the moula.

I'm hangin' in there, baby...hope you are too, work-a-holic!

Maybe we should write Oprah and see if we can get a show about talking this shit out on OWN? We could get people from all walks of life and every ethnicity possible and just let people hash it and hug it out in the end.

Well, a goil can dream.

Have a great day, sugah! :)

by the way, i understand criticizing Oprah for the crass consumerism, celebrity worship, etc. i just don't get the HATE.

it's a trip that people complain about my comparisons between men and women or white and black, but Poopele makes outright racist remarks at every opportunity and there's no comment.

what if i referred to everyone, no matter what the post was about, as a nigger, spic, jew, wetback, chink, cracker, slope, etc. i bet that would go over nicely, as long as i don't add any comparative race, class or gender analysis into the mix!

People fighting over OPRAH? :o(

While I hate the "idiots," I hate entitled assholes who wait for a chance to pounce on someone who is of a different opinion more intensely.

I love all of you cunts (I really do, every single one, and most of you are cunts) but the commenters are the ones ruining the D - NOT the people with whom you're arguing. (I don't dislike Oprah, I really have NEVER EVER watched any of her shows, I work bitches.)

As someone who is not white, and is treated accordingly (if you're not a small colored fish in a big pond of differently colored fish, your opinion will be different as would be your life experiences) I notice racial differences - everyone does. I don't base my treatment of people on these differences. It's UNDENIABLE that racial and cultural differences and tendencies exist, and they are interesting to discuss and study.

I'm NOT OFFENDED EASILY (any of you whores who really know me off of the D KNOW THIS) but while I don't like racial intolerance, the issue is interesting - but a sore spot for many, and isn't taboo to discuss.

But must we attack someone whose ideas are different? I mean, even if they're intolerant, if it matters that much to you, wouldn't you rather have them explain their thoughts, even so you could pick it apart for errors in your own mind? If I really believe someone has a flawed argument, I politely ask them to provide a more thorough explanation, and use those points to understand and argue (if it's WORTH arguing, and not meant for showboating on the internet in front of your buddies).

There's no reason to be mean. This is why the cool people stop posting, or take year long breaks.

Just saying my piece of peace, and HOT MAMI I FUCKING LOVE YOU BITCH!

Hi Spotty!

Yeah, it looks to have been very heated here, glad I missed it.

I am looking forward to crappy books NOT becoming best sellers because of her reading them. I read a few and man her reads SUCKED! Never again did I read another " Oprah book club" endorsed book.

Since when does it have to be a racial thing that if you hate Oprah, you are a racist? Good grief!

I despise Oprah and I am not a racist. People need to lighten up. If Oprah were white, I would still think she is an asshole.

I'll probably get shot but I think Oprah is a good interviewer. Wscpecially one-on-one without the audience. I don't care what she reads, drinks or decorates her house with. I will miss some of her interviews. That is all.

But beyond that - what's so fucking great about Oprah? Lots of people are articulate. Lots of people are generous. Lots of people are fat. Lots of people ask questions and read books and give advice. Why does Oprah get paid so damn much for it? Why OPRAH? Cuz her damn name is Oprah?! Cuz WHY!?!? ....it just gives you the feeling she sucked the Devil's cock at some point.

I'm gong to follow mcnightmare's advice about insomnia and watch a complicated movie, which for me means one with subtitles. I'm going to watch Johnny To's "Exile."

Good night folks. Let's all eat something fried in honour of Oprah.

Fishsticks, I'm going through tired/wired mind and I want to sleep so bad. Took some tea in hopes that that would be all I need. Finally took some trip/b (I only take it when I'm desperate because it's kinda 'spensive).

Wish you weren't up/down too. Gastro sitch any better?

Oh, and I really appreciate that 'O' brought Dr. Oz to the scene because he does actually go outside the 'norm' and promote holistic stuff.

Agreed on Dr. Phil-PHAIL though...total douchebag but he was like the Jerry Springer/Dr.Drew train-wrck for his time. Hard to look away no matter how painful.

This song is still on (I'm typing slowly). Well, she is quite the performer. Okay, now Beyonce is singing/yelling about "who runs this motha" and now there are cheerleaders. The camera just flashed to Michele Williams, who is old and is actually Basement Baby's real mother.

i truly know how you feel and, without knowing the particulars, i would just offer you a hand to hold while you go through whatever's hurting you today.

sometimes i put on a complicated movie like "snatch" and watch it over and over to distract me in the middle of te night, so that i have something *else* to focus on - i'll watch the director's commentary, then the extra scenes, then the french version - when you are at the bottom of the bottom distraction can be a great blessing.

i don't act as if she called me a racist, i know she did. maybe that you ain't here for the snark renders you oblivious, not to mention the ties that blind, but it was plain as day (still is).
and funny how you use the same tactic as mcnightmare, when you said using the term "race card" as being "passe".
same tactic she tried by trying to assimilate oprah hating with racism.

i ain't trying to make mcnightmare to be anything, i instead take extreme offense at her inept allegation that oprah hatred was steeped in or with racism. right on the heels of my hateful expressions.
she did not question, she pointed finger. i had every right and responsibility to rebuke it (the charge of racism) with fucking vigor.
there are posts loaded with hate on ahhhnuld and that french rapist, so fuck this shit about no one says nothing bout them and just about that fat fuck oprah. that was a fucking lie.
the hate of oprah and the hate of those other two are also not even the same. the hate on oprah is a fucking cartoon, it's annoyance. the hate on the other shitbags is actual and real. and as said, oprah ain't no one to pull a race card over. it's fucking stupid and full of gratuitous shit.

Meatblocks - did you think my post was a response to yours, long ago? it wasn't. i just now went back and read it and i don't even find it particularly objectionable - and i certainly didn't remember it enough to respond to it, particularly.

believe it or not, i really was questioning - about racial disparity, gender disparity, class disparity - not accusing people who don't like Oprah of being racists, but wondering why the emotion towards her is so strong, given that she hasn't actually HURT anybody. boring you to death doesn't count.

i SO stand by my right to analyze things and question them however the fuck i see fit, with all due respect. i think i do that on a gossip site because there are people here i would not get to know in real life, being that most of my friends have similar points of view; so i observe what is going on and point things out - from MY point of view, which is 1) not THE LAW, but a work in progress, and 2) something you are free to ignore.

Meatblocks,

Your posts, intentionally or not, are pretty aggressive. A poster stated her opinion on something, and you responded angrily because you were offended that she brought the adjective "white" into play. Not honkey, offay, or whitey (I don't even know how to spell this racist crap), but the adjective "white."

I've read her posts here for awhile, and mcnightmare is nothing near the person you are trying to make her out to be. And just reading the posts here, it seems that you have the bigger issue with race than she supposedly does.

(And for the record, you got personal, using terms like "running your mouth" and name calling.)

Honestly, bitch has seriously humiliated herself, she might have a super-sized ego but I think she also has a super-sized heart (to match).

I remember watching 'O' when I was going through hell with my child and she was a welcome and comforting 'go-to' show that really helped me not feel like I was losing my mind (and her earlier shows really focused a lot on young moms at the time which was great for me).

People hate Oprah for similar reasons why they hate Fishsticks Paltrow, Will.I.Am, Jessica Seinfeld, Michele Lea, and the dozens of other celebrities that show up on Dlisted regularly for their self-aggrandizing egos.

Of course there are people who hate these celebrities for racist or sexist reasons but I doubt they represent the majority. Most of us can't stand these people because they are snooty, self absorbed, or out of touch with the masses.

Ah...now YOU'RE getting personal. You can't take it but you can dish it out? Really? You may be right about me "waffling out" (gloat over that all you want), but I am still entitled to say what I feel provided it's not completely out of line or inappropriate.

You just don't like being disagreed with. There are bad people of ALL colors in the world, but you constantly focus on race when a celebrity is being maligned. You could just as easily left it at "Men are....", but you had to go and put WHITE MEN in there. If you can't see what's wrong with that, then shame on YOU.
