Oprah is a bad doctor

I hate celebrities espousing all these medical miracles that just don't exist or are unproven. I don't blame them per se, but it is still wrong. What is worse are the powerful idiots who give them the medium to speak.

One such person is Oprah.

If you don't know who Oprah is, she is a cult leader based out of a television who controls people through book clubs, magazines, and free gift giveaways. She also dispenses medical advice that makes the medical community cringe.

Honestly, we do we turn to Oprah for advice on anything?

  • Dieting and health: besides her obsession with being thinner, Oprah loves her fad diets that allowed her to be famous for extreme weight losses ... and the eventual regain.
  • Relationships: she has a closer relationship to her female friend than her long-term boyfriend and is still single. She was also really supportive of Tom Cruise's creepy behavior with Kate Holmes
  • Charity: while I applaud her efforts, the school in South Africa has had more than a few problems
In conclustion ... shut up Oprah. Quit brainwashing America with fads and your own insecurities. Try actually educating people with experts and not Susanne Somers.
