Ugh...women at their most greedy and disgusting:

[Paragon]

It's "Favorite Things" day on Oprah, where she spends an entire hour plugging expensive shit.

Every woman in the audience swoons and screams, because she knows she's getting one of every item Oprah plugs. They're literally crying in the aisles and near-passing out.

Just when my madonna/whore complex is in full swing, Oprah comes along and gives me a shot of reality. Thank you, Oprah...thank you. :D

[supernova]

1. Oh, I think it's OK

to indulge every once in a while. I wish I could get a ticket to those "Fav Things" shows. :D

[LuLu550]

2. and then there is

"The Man Show" for comparision.

[Skittles]

3. yes

I'd rather be greedy than a disgusting pig.

[wysimdnwyg]

15. Can I be

a greedy, disgusting pig? :evilgrin:

[Paragon]

4. No, not unless...

...everyone got to have sex with the Juggy Girls. :silly:

[LuLu550]

5. that's not true...

just swooning and salivating over them puts the guys in the same category. They jsut wish they could have them.

[Paragon]

6. Sorry, but the difference is...

...the men don't get to take that merchandise home. These "ladies" would not be going this nuts if Oprah was just showing them what they can't have.

[LuLu550]

13. OK ! OK!

First, I don't particularly like Oprah or dislike the Man Show...I'm of the opinion that if I don't like something on TV I can turn it off! (What a left wing, liberal thing to think). I saw ten seconds of the Man Show once and turned it off...
My SARCASTIC linkage of the Man Show with women drooling over the free merch was a bit weak, I admit...my point was they are drooling because they get to take it home...the guys are drooling even when they DON'T get to take it home...

Not a funny joke if you have to explain it.

As for the trampoline, well, let me just say one of the few times I went on one, I almost fell off....so now I fear them no matter who might be on them.

[CBHagman]

28. Ahem. Women aren't merchandise.

And I think both sexes like to gaze upon what (or whomever) they cannot have. And most of us like to collect stuff, whether it's golf clubs, DVDs, or shoes.

That said, the whole country is going to hell in a handbasket!!! I
have incontrovertible proof: The Washington Post ran a full-length article on Paris Hilton in the Style section Saturday and then did a magazine article on Sunday about the lust for high-priced clothes and electronics. We are doomed as a nation, I tell you.

[WilliamPitt]

8. What? You have a problem with women on trampolines?

[Paragon]

9. Plus, "The Man Show" is a comedy show...

...as opposed to Oprah, which is just unintentionally funny. :silly:

[joeybee12]

22. The problem with The Man Show is that is really isn't GOOD satire

You could laugh at the guy being pigs if you were sure they were SUPPOSED to be laughed at. I think some people watching are thinking the show is dead serious.

Also, I think at least one of the new hosts is gay.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

23. I heard that too-that he's been spotted in NY gay clubs

then the show would be parody/irony I think.

I just think it showcases men at their worst.

[joeybee12]

24. Yeah, that's my point--they look awful, but it's not funny that they're

awful.

Anyway, I'm suprised it's been on the air as long as it has.

[JohnKleeb]

27. Theres a new man show

:wtf:
I am serious, just odd, I was watching comedy central with my brother and saw some of it, its like the guys are exactly like Corolla and Kimmel just younger.

[WindRavenX]

20. I watch the Man Show

And I'm a woman. I think that the show really just makes fun of men themselves- because let's face it- THEY ARE PIGS!!
I still get a laugh from it, though.

[Kamika]

7. omg whahs she pluggin :D

tell mee

[Paragon]

10. Here's the complete list:

Imagine your wife/girlfriend/etc even bothering to look at you again after walking out with one of each of those.

[supernova]

16. Drool!

I want that M*A*C cosmetics bag. Let me see what else I can find.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

19. The Cashmere Sweater-It's Pretty Cold Here in New England

The stuff isn't outrageously expensive-it could be MUCH worse!

[Kamika]

21. that stuff isnt all that

I thought they got real good stuff like diamonds or something :p

[Kathy in Cambridge]

11. Oh boy

I'd rather be a covetous bitch than a sad sack horndog anyday.

so which exploits women more-Oprah or the Man Show?

[Paragon]

12. That's an easy one

Oprah is an hour long, The Man Show is only a half-hour. :D

[SiobhanClancy]

25. Me,too..plus I owe Oprah for turning me onto this...

Origins Ginger Body Souffle

a few years back:)

[Kathy in Cambridge]

29. I love the Ginger Body Souffle-and the Salt Rub

a nice indulgence...

[SoCalDem]

14. Just imagine how shitty you would feel if your tickets were for

the show BEFORE or AFTER that one :(

[Paragon]

17. LOL

Yes, no one can make us feel shitty quite like Oprah. :silly:

[Speck Tater]

18. I knew there was a reason I never watch TV any more.

Except for DVD movies, of course. But commercial TV? Yech! 30 years ago it was a vast wasteland and it's just gotten worse.

26. please delete
