Ya know, I don't really like to voice my strong opinions on my blog very often, but today is one of those times.
If you know me, you know I watch Oprah. If you know me really well, you know she has really gotten on my nerves lately and although I don't watch her show nearly as much as I use to, I am always threatening to give up her show completely. Well folks, it's time. After her show last Thursday I was pushed over the edge and my mom, sister and I vowed to never watch again. Let's just say I felt the same way watching the latter part of this show as I did watching her show on child p*rn*gr@phy. The only difference was that Oprah was in blatant support of the ideas mentioned in Thursday's show. So I'm done.
I felt strongly that is was only fair to let the Oprah Winfrey Show about this decision as well. Although, this letter probably won't get past the entry-level employee whose sole job is to filter fan mail, it is really all I can do to fight for what I believe to by right.
But I didn't want my hard work to go to waste, so here you go--my letter to Oprah, uncut.*
*The email slot to oprah.com only allotted me 2000 characters so some of it had to be cut. FYI, there are some adult terms used in this letter.

Oh, that's so sad. Kenny and I were just talking about how sad it is that... self-servicing... has become so incredibly accepted by everyone. Shame on them.
ReplyDeleteGood for you!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteVery well said Jazzy. I'm very proud of you.
ReplyDeleteAmen...I was disgusted with that episode too. It was amazing I saw it because we don't have tv, but I happened to be at my neighbor's house and her, me, her mom, and sister were all disgusted with it. It shows how little by little Satan is working on this world.
ReplyDeleteThat's so good you wrote to her. I used to watch a lot of Oprah too but when it gets to be inappropriate for children, I'm done. I rarely watch anymore. I hate that she goes with all of the trends. Good job!
ReplyDeleteChris and I both were talking earlier today about how Oprah is the devil. We hadn't even heard about this episode!! Oooo, so sick. And it's so depressing that our kids are going to grow up in this kind of environment.
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you and boycotting Oprah. Way to go Jazzy!
I didn't see the episode but I have no plans to watch any more Oprah now either. Shame on her, and good for you.
ReplyDeleteWell written letter. I had stopped watching her years ago, also because of the darkness that I felt. She changed w/the rest of the world. Stand strong and immovable!
ReplyDeleteI am so unimpressed with her lately, too!! AND I used to be OBSESSED! I'm so glad you took a stand for what's right. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteOh! And seriously...those pictures are WONDERFUL! Still wish I could have shot (in the picture way:) the beautiful fam over Christmas.:) I love the pictures of you!
ReplyDeletegross! yeah, i havent watched her for some time b/c she has lost it. im so glad i didnt see that.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Jazzy! I haven't watched Oprah for a few months. After reading your blog I'm glad I haven't. Good job on taking the time to write her a letter.
ReplyDeleteHuh, I have never watched her. But that is really disappointing. I'm glad you wrote her a letter, and it is written so beautifully that she won't be able to ignore it.
ReplyDeleteWay to speak out. Oprah has really bothered me lately too. Your letter was great.
ReplyDeleteI came across your blog threw my Aunt Annmaires.
ReplyDeleteI started reading it and, I have to be honest I havn't watched Oprah for years. The one day I decided to watch it, it was this episode.
I was floored. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
There is no way that I would expain to my daughter that its okay to "explore herself"
I was always taught if it feels good, don't do it haha.
Awesome blog tho. I 100% agree
You go jazzy, i love the letter, I have not watched oprha for a long time, she does drive me nuts
ReplyDeleteI am standing and clapping ! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteYou go, girl! You should start your own talk show. I have literally only been able to watch Opera twice in the last 2 years, and both times it was about transvestites and so I just turned it off. I did hear about this episode and was just disgusted. I used to think she should run for president--now I think she should quietly retire and leave well enough alone.
ReplyDeleteWay to go sista! I think the people have given Oprah too much power to say whatever she wants. So, I for one am taking it my bit o' power away and am not watching.
