Pray for Oprah

We’ve all heard about James Frey’s ‘A Million Little Pieces’, the book that immortal cunt-demon Oprah Winfrey put on her money printing machine, the Oprah Book Club 3000.

After the revealation that Frey’s work was much more fiction than advertised fact, Oprah defended the book, stating on Larry King Live that “the underlying message of redemption in James Frey’s memoir still resonates with me, and I know it resonates with millions of other people who have read this book.”

What Oprah didn’t expect was that her cult of desperate soccer moms would actually disagree with their Leader and Saviour.

Oprah, fearing a revolt from her Legion who mysteriously showed a sign of independant thought, quickly did an about-face and claimed she was duped.

She had Frey on her show and tore him a new one, saving face in front of her Lemmings as seen below:

There’s been some rumours on the internets that Frey actually shopped this book around as a work of fiction and was repeatedly rejected for about a year. Regardless, all anyone had to do after the news came out was take the books out of Non-Fiction and into the Fiction section. Problem solved.

Here’s the kicker though: EVERYONE involved in this “scandal” is making a killing. Oprah, Random House and Frey are going to see a nice little bump in their paycheques now that every man, woman and child is buying into this horse-and-pony show.

This overinflated hullaballo is just another in a long list of disgusting reasons why I hate the stupid little monkeys that think they’re people.
