My brush with (the Wal-Mart, Black Friday) death:
Because of hangovers and still being awake, and after a vicious T-giving fest with my family, my manfriend and I decided to check out the 5 a.m. extravaganza at Wallyworld. Incipient brain death was our only excuse, not only for being at Black Friday, but for being at (for fuck's sake) Wal-Mart at all, ever. After pulling up in the car and viewing the inbred, wild-eyed, ravenous crowd huddled together in a seething mass of undulating hell, we said "Fuck, no", and left to go get pancakes.
I was dragged to a Black Friday sale at a Circuit City by my yuppy cousin two years ago. Never again. Online shopping and excursions to the mall in mid-December for me, thanks.
Thanks for reminding me why she makes me so uncomfortable. All that "you are your own best whatever!" followed by "...if you buy THIS and THIS and THIS" as pitched by fevered PR flacks across this Great Land.
@Lizawithazee: You know who gets tot be their own best whatever? The small businesses who get their stuff promoted on her show.
I get why she's not doing it this year, but she should have highlighted Etsy shops or 'Favorite Things Under $20' or 'Favorite Charities to Give to' or something.
After the Oprah-Obama Christmas Special, Gallup will release a poll announcing that 79% of registered Republicans still think President Obama is a Muslim.

You could combine 1, 2, 3 and 4 by yelling "Look, it's Rob Pattinson!" and then pushing through in a tight V-formation in this uniform:

Hopefully this tragedy will cause her to re-think her runaway train promotion of charlatans.

If you ever had a Nonnie Waller's pound cake (that was one of her fave things a few years back), spanks would be key afterwards. delish.
