Defamer
A reader sent in this photo of the new Oprah billboard perched above La Cienga Boulevard at Melrose touting today's show about her journey to Auschwitz with author and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel. If the oddly cheery ad is any indication (have they no templates where she's not beaming quite so brightly?), maybe Oprah, despite her burgeoning position as America's spiritual shepherd, is in a little over her head this time. The usually ecstatic moment in which Oprah shouts, "Everyone gets a car!" will lack its ringing note of triumph, instead taking on a sad poignancy when Wiesel bows his head and responds, "Yes, yes. I suppose they do."

Oprah looks super psyched to check out the gas chambers for herself. Is John Travolta coming? Because that would be super fun.
She should take Anderson Cooper too. That trip with him back to the apartment where his brother committed suicide looked ever so much fun. Perhaps they can all go to the Hermes boutique in Paris later and relive Oprah's greatest tragedy.
Jim Varney is dead, or this would've made one helluva 'Ernest' movie.
Come on, you people - it's not as if a little genocide should keep us from enjoying a true Oprah(TM) moment. What are you, a bunch of liberal communists?! If we deny ourselves the opportunity to entertain ourselves by voyeuristically watching the suffering of another portion of humankind, the terrorists will have won.
Is she taking the train?
I hope she's giving away Volkswagens.
Or as Tawny Kitaen calls it, "Ouch-Which."
