Oprah just can't help herself

Today Oprah Winfrey gave each of the 310 members of her audience a debit card worth $1,000. The card, sponsored by Bank of America, is actually part of a "gift of giving back" program – with the $1,000 having to go to a charitable cause. "I can honestly say that every gift I've ever given has brought at least as much happiness to me as it has to the person I've given it to," says Winfrey, who, in the past, has given away such audiences prizes as brand new cars. "That's the feeling I want to pass on to you." Winfrey calls this latest gift her "favorite giveaway ever." In terms of giving, the audience members are free to present the entire sum to one person, though family members are not eligible. They also have the option of dividing the money among several causes.

You know that audience was PISSED when they found out they had to give that money away! That is so classic Oprah, just when you start to love her again you get so screwed....Wonder what her "Favorite Things" show will be this year? Will all the audience members get an African orphan??? Oh yeah I'm done with that!
