    I was a guest on this show years ago. They brought me in and sat me next to Oprah during the commercial break..miked me up..I was very nervous. Oprah looked me up and down and asked...'What size are those pants?' Terrified- I replied..'they're a size 8..I wear a size 8'..Oprah gave me another once over then said...'So that's what an 8 looks like.' still so crazy to think about and such a let down..I thought she would quote Maya Angelou to me or something. #oprahwinfrey

    I was an intern at a wonderful design studio back in the summer of 1989. My assignment was to choose a few typefaces for a logo the studio was designing for The Oprah Winfrey Show. The only criteria from Ms. Winfrey--the typefaces had to look tall and thin. Sigh. Some things never change. #oprahwinfrey

    I saw Oprah's show once in my life. Some kidnapped child had been returned to his parents after several years. She turned to the boy and asked him outright if his kidnapper molested him. A twelve year old child, on national television, who was probably still in PTS from his ordeal. My point being: I will never understand why this women is revered and wish she would go away. #oprahwinfrey

    @pony_express: Perhaps you don't revere her, but I see no reason to hate her. She's an intelligent, sophisticated, grounded woman who uses her considerable influence to do good-- to get victims to speak out, to encourage people to read and educate themselves, to motivate people to stand up for causes they believe in, etc. In a world where numb-nuts like Jon Gosselin are able to achieve celebrity status for doing absolutely nothing, I find it reassuring that we still have celebrities like Oprah out there. I think she realizes how large her fan base is and she doesn't take it for granted. She is constantly finding new ways to give back to society and help others. #oprahwinfrey

    @pooks: I didn't say I "hated" her, but from what I have read about her over the years, I do think she is in fact misinformed on a number of large issues, including mental health, and likes to spread her cockamamy thoughts. If something is "Oprah approved," people will buy it, like those folks in Arizona who got killed in that sweat lodge. She also created Dr. Phil, who is not a real doctor and whose tv talk show therapy style is extremely damaging, especially for people who need real help, not 1/2 segments of help from a fake doctor. Sorry, I just don't see the intelligence and compassion you see, I see a women who has savvy marketing abilities. Yes, she likes to make grand gestures and buy people lots of things and give away lots of money; but have you ever thought that is more about getting herself love/praise than really doing pure, altruistic good? If it was just to do good, why make such a show of every gesture? #oprahwinfrey

    This sounds like 4chan. Or wannabes.

    It's being done by Twitter accounts that are either new or have nothing else posted, or haven't been used in months. And they all have some tie to 4chan (watching the 4chan Twitter account, spouting catchphrases, et cetera). Gee!

    It infuriates me when actions are misconstrued (particularly with regards to helping a child afflicted by trisomy 21). The reason they were practicing swimming on the carpet was so she wouldn't drown in the pool. You people are unbelievable.

    Also, swimsuits cause resistance, for what it's worth. #stevephillips

    @topsy: I'm just saying, normally I'd be the first to jump on the feminist angle, all "what do her looks have to do with it..." but not this time.

    Actually, I think it's relevant, because of what you've pointed out: apparently this guy is willing to risk his marriage and his career for that. I guess "young and willing" outweighs "dumpy, crazy, and employed by your company" for some people. #stevephillips
