Two Strikes for Oprah

Everybody knows, I love Oprah. But over the past few years even I, one of her biggest fans have some issues.

So here are the 2 strikes I have against Oprah.

1) Her "My favorite Things Show, Recession Edition" Sorry Oprah but nobody wanted to see things such Gratitude boxes, boxes filled with mementos or spending time with loved ones? Come on - No  thanks Oprah.
What I want to see is the $20,000  refrigerator, the one with a HDTV,Internet, & DVD.(even thou I have no idea who has cable hooked up in the kitchen where the fridge is, but who cares. I guarantee loved ones would be talking about that.) $70 Croissants flown in from France  or a $2000 Crystal Watch.

2) The movie Precious. Ok if you haven't seen this movie, and for some reason want to, stop reading now. Although I'm telling you don't watch it, it may be the most depressing movie ever made. 
Oprah went on and on about how this was the movie of the year. A must see, so of course I saw it.
It is about this girl who's nickname I think is Precious, but it doesn't matter. She is 17, can't read past a grade 4 level, has 1 kid by her father, has another one on the way, also by her father and has a mother that beats her. Sounds like an uplifting story right. Well if you think that it can't get worse - wrong. She finds out that she is HIV positive by that same father who has just died from it. Wow uplifting. I mean HIV?  Could they not have given this girl diabetes? Give her a fighting chance!  Based on the fact that she is 250 -300 pounds this would not be that difficult to believe. Then the movies ends. She gets to keep her 2 kids and can now read at a grade 7 level.
If that is Oprah's idea of uplifting then my idea is very different.

3) So far I don't have one, but she still has a season left. If she does have a 3rd strike, I'll be forced to only watch her show 3/5 days a week. That would be a disaster.
