The Poop on Oprah

Oprah Winfrey gabs about all kinds of topics of national and emotional import on her show -- but the one thing she seems to be truly obsessed with is poop. As in human feces.

On yesterday's show, Dr. Mehmet Oz, Oprah's on-demand dispenser of medical info, answered the call of doody to explain the intricacies, vagaries, and complexities of poop. "More people stop me about poop than Brad Pitt," declared Oprah, explaining that her previous shows on the topic have generated considerable buzz from her acolytes.

Oz helped Oprah understand why poop is the color it is (it's because of the bile, which is brown), why it's best if it comes out shaped like an "S" (though it's OK if it's shaped like a comma or a "C"), and why some people actually produce white poop (a deficiency of bile). Oprah thought that last tidbit was definitely a little kaka-eyed. "I have never heard of white poop in my whole life," said a skeptical O.

But leaving her Midtown hotel recently, the Queen of All Media almost looked as though she might have to attend to a little, um, fecal matter right there in the middle of Manhattan! You go, girl!

Oprah has become way too arrogant for me, and has forgotten that it is the people who watch her show, that have made her rich!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oprah is a racist, who only pretends to like white people to keep her ratings up. If she didn't cater to the white audience she would still be a nobody. I hate the way she pretends to like people just for ratings, if she spoke half her true feelings she would be more hated than George Bush.

TMI on poop! I have watched Oprah for many, many years & always loved her show & had much respect for her UNTIL she talked about her Mother's dreams for her & said what she did about having an all white staff (exception of 1 employee, I think) what is she really trying to say?? I think that is a BUCH OF POOP!

I too am sick of the subject matter on Oprah. She is so nosey on the subject of rape. Such as where, when, how did you get touched or raped. She has to know every little detail. If she is so concerned about this matter why does she have those two women on that tell you what bra and other clothes to where? They walk up to perfect strangers and grab their boobs and butts. Isn't that a form of sexual aggression?

This is why I watch Dr. Phil instead of Oprah. Oprah needs to get a life and stop talking about feces. Really now, does it interest people that much? Why not go to the library then and read about fecal matter, the shapes, sizes, etc. I am private about my poops and would rather not share my info with anyone, yes, even including Oprah. I think since Oprah has become a billionaire, it has done something adverse to her brain and she can't find anything else to talk about anymore.. Time to call it quits, Ms. Winfrey!

Actually, that show answered alot of questions I could not get out of my Drs. Am on my way to purchase Probiotics. Was very informative, grow up, it is about medicine and the health of your body. I bet you dont talk to your kids about normal body function or sex either, right?

You can tell some people are narrow minded and simply ignorant or maybe stupid. They give a new meaning for BLOG (Bad Listeners On Guard). Kudos for Oprah.
