Bring Me the Head of Oprah Winfrey

Well, one thing you can say about freak-show reactionaries, they are hella united. It seems Oprah did a segment on teen sex, and said a few things that were "graphic". The FCC was immediately flooded with thousands of letters demanding Oprah be fined for indecency. They can go after Howard Stern, no problem...but will America freak out when they go after Saint Oprah?
Here are some of the outraged (and outrageously funny) letters:

Borstalboy: you made my morning.

Does anyone have a tape of the show? I would like to know more about that rainbow effect during fellatio.

If they don't go after her Howard will have a field day trying to bring her and them down.

God, some of those letters are funny. Some of them must be jokes though, especailly the ones that for no apparent reason, menation that their twins were coming home from bible day camp or that their twins we about to watch the Daddy Day Care dvd. They 're trying to hard to emphasize their wholesomeness. And why the hell are all twins?

I have a feeling that Stern's supporters got wind of this and did a mass mailing. I am sure some are jokes, but the reality of the situation is not too funny.

PEACE.

Yeah I guess they are fertile and, judging from the letters, they do not engage in anything other than staright forward missionary style sex. I find it interesting that in spite of a number of topics havinfg been graphically discussed, most of the letters focus the outrage over tossed salad. Maybe it hits too close to home with tehir own fanatsies.

Ok, I gotta admit, I have no idea what "tossed salad" refers to. I have done just about everything (along with some of you) but this is a mystery to me.

I won't go so far as to explain it here but, if you read the letters in The Smoking Gun item, it's explained. I actually ahve never heard that term before so I found out after reading a few letters...I've always known it by another term

Nope -- never did that one. No wonder I didn't recognize the term.

Never heard that one either. This board is so educational. I always learn something new.

someone's child's head actually exploded at the mention of "tossing salad" ... too funny!

I think we need to change the subject. I'm trying to be diplomatic to our women and straight men allies on the board. But honestly, if we keep talking about this, I'm have a step away from saying ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Diplomatic to women and straight men? Yeah, like none of them have ever tried it. I've heard stories from straight men.

HOLD THE PHONE.

Thanks to my posse on the board, I have been properly educated, and would like to retract my earlier statement. I was under the impression that one secret ingredient is not found anywhere in my house. But I was incorrect.

My new position is that I am very much in favor of tossed salad.

Thanks.

My question is: Why the hell are third graders watching "Oprah" to begin with....what, was "Reading Rainbow" cancelled now they have to learn about....oh, I won't finish that thought.
Seriously, though, when I was a kid my mom would freak out if she caught me watching "Donahue"....what gives?

Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!
