O.B.G. Y/N?

Did everyone watch Oprah's Big Give last night?




It was on one of my 5 channels and I just happened upon it. I certainly hadn't planned on watching it. I hadn't see any ads for it on ABC. I definitely wasn't aware that it started directly after Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (often referred to as EMHE) hosted by Ty Pennington, which I didn't watch last night and have never watched.

Regardless, O.B.G was like a cross between The Amazing Race (100% swear I've never watched it) and EMHE. Oprah has decided to share the wealth despite having never shared her magazine cover. The premise of the show is contestants competing in a charity work-off. They have to find the most needy people and give things to them. However, we are treated to the awful, depressing, soul-wrenching background stories of the recipients. Here we see something interesting:

1. Oprah broadcasts stories of herself helping emotionally fragile people:



2. Millions of other emotionally fragile people tune-in and dream for an hour:



3. Oprah sells advertisements:



4. Oprah gives one person hope and millions at home false, toothfairyesque dreams:



5. Oprah uses emotionally fragile people to make money off of other emotionally fragile people. Thus expanding her ever-reaching sympathy-fucking empire into unseen horizons:



In a sense, O.B.G. is a microcosm of Oprah's vagenda. She has created a business of charity (see: Lance Armstrong) in which "good" and "hope" are spoon fed (sold) to people void of any semblance of either good or hope. O.B.G. shows you one weak person become stronger through wildly unrealistic circumstances.

Oprah uses her money to show that she can help people. Then once people believe that she is a savior, she sells things with her "life-changing" brand. This gives her more money to repeat this process on a larger scale.

Don't get me wrong here, I enjoy charity. I think its a wonderful concept. I just have a problem with Oprah selling it. Or maybe I'm just pissed she thought of it first.
