You have a good point. I was all set to write a bitchy post about how Oprah is our country's Negress Mother of the Time, but I wasn't thinking about the darker implications of her new show.

But now I've got to stop and think. And really, this brings up some large ethics questions. Should the charity benefit many a little bit, or one a great deal. You could pay for one underprivileged child to go to medical school - or you could feed an African village for a year (assuming they received the money donated, and it wasn't usurped by some malevolent dictator).

I can't say as I'll ever watch this show. But it's nice to know that nothing, not even philanthropy, is save from Reality TV's soul sucking abyss.
