Where can I meet one of these so called sex addicts?
Well I have to ask... what is 'salad tossing'?
If this is the level of discussion this web site is sinking to I may as well start my morning somewhere else. Just because you have a problem with Oprah is no reason to waste Jim Robinson's band width.
Why give Oprah any more free publicity than she already gets. Going after her would backfire totally unless there really was a groundswell of 20 to 60 year old American women who were deeply offended at Oprah enough to mount a call in campaign. I don't think that is the case. To the contrary, these women are the ones who would run to Oprah's defense against any attempt to "silence" her. I don't think this is a fight the Bush administration wants to pick.
The sad thing is that she really doesn't have to do this...she's going to watch it and regret it. A woman having sex with 90 guys? Yawn...go talk to your average college co-ed....
I think that some on this thread should be more honest with themselves and admit they hate Oprah. Comparing Oprah and howard is ridiculous.
It's fair to dislike the reasoning behind the FCC indecency standard (even to crave more indecent speech broadcast to children if that's your thing) but she violated the rule.
It was gratuituous to discuss sexual bodily fluids and she did it for money.
I called them to complain, as well as stations that have aired it.
If I see it again, I will file a complaint with the FCC. Thanks for the link.
This is the author whose book was marketed as a "memoir". Oprah chose the book as her "book of the month" and it rocketed to the best seller list. Smokinggun.com revealed it was full of embellishments; Oprah defends Frey on Larry King and later retracted after her "fans" wrote stinging letters to her about "truth-telling". She got a lot of egg on her face over that flip-flop.
Oprah....Stern....nuff said.
Except that some (like me) tuned in after the announcement was made and landed right in the middle of the sex talk. A quick change of the channel fixed it in my livingroom.
If you have to ask, you don't want to know ;)
Google it.
We'll call it "The Ostrich Technique". Thanks for the good advice.
I dunno, the world has changed a lot since that Clinton Monica story. I don't watch Oprah, but I think that people who do watch would not likely be offended by such comments.
Any underage kids watching such programs already have issues.
This is irrelevant.
Agree, no Oprah fan but one must look at the context.
Wonder if the show did a warning that adult situations were being discussed before the show and after the break of commercials? If not, the show should have and I can see a case being made.
Yeah and you'd be screwing the 100+ guys she's had as well.
..catching something you can't wash away I'm sure.
