[N]Oprah

Today, as most of us know, Oprah took it upon herself to...once again...entice America with her monetary funds: This time with food. Every person in America has been offered the opportunity to print out a coupon from now until tomorrow for a free 2-piece grilled chicken meal with a biscuit and 2 sides from KFC. I am rather disappointed in Oprah, I really don't want to talk bad about her because I met her makeup artist for 33 years over the weekend...and they're really close. But I have never fully appreciated her because she hides behind her money. And noone can tell me different. The trips to Africa, South America, wherever: every celebrity does it. But for what really? To give back? No. For publicity. That one beautiful shot of a dirty child in the nicely manicured hands. One smile, grateful, teeth crooked and off-white. Those are the villagers, the rural farmers, and craft-makers. The blacksmiths, the children, the priests, the preachers, the people. Then there's that gorgeous sky-bright smile of the celebrity. The soft skin, touchable skin. The flawless makeup, contoured beautifully to accentuate her high cheekbones and make her eyes 'Pop'. She's beauty in the land of disaster. But I'm not writing about that. I'm writing about this KFC mess.

Attached to this blog will be one of the most triflingest videos my eyes have ever seen, and I've seen trifling. Tyson, KFC's lead chicken producer, has been seen torturing these poor little poultries to their death. It's disgusting. It's vile. It's inhumane and cruel. It's shocking. It's sadistic. People need psychiatric evaluations, seriously. If you can do this to little harmless animals such as chicken, how are we to be sure you won't come home from your job and want to wring a human's neck and decapitate the person while stomping on the body and squeezing it until they forcefully defocates on themselves? They are showing symptoms of what is called Conduct Disorder. It is a childhood disorder, but without the proper treatment, it can carry on into adulthood. Remember young Michael Myers on Rob Zombie's Halloween? It's something of that sort. And this information doesn't have much to do with my main argument neither, bare with me.

What I am more upset about is the fact that the Tyson controversy has been publicized all over the net. Many influential people such as Pink, Dr. Cornel West, the Daili Lama [SP], Pamela Anderson, Rev. Al Sharpton [You know he in everything], Jet, and other celebrities have spoken about the animal cruelty issue. HOWEVER, here comes Oprah in all her horribly HDTV pigmented glory, publicizing the chicken that was once stomped on and, and spat on, and spraypainted on, for us to eat. And it's not even the fact that we eat the food, many will eat it regardless. Many HAVE to eat it regardless, but if we don't have to...why will we? But why not Popeyes. Why not Burger King. Something. That's not surrounded by controversy? Because she's ignorant. A lot of people are ignorant on this subject. I was too. I quickly clicked the link and got my coupon and just was a-jumping for joy, believe you me. But then I read about it and saw the video and was completely trifed out. And once again, Oprah hides behind the money. Because this ain't no local celebrity. Internationally known Oprah doesn't have the sources telling her this would be controversial for her? That she's placing her money into an awkward situation? That this exemplifies promoting animal cruelty? No. Of course not. Who gives a shit? Because it's Oprah. And I guess she's God of the Universe. Well I'm tired of talking. I got studying to do. But you get the point. Don't you?
