Shut Up Oprah

So Oprah, for some reason I know not, has decided to tell all the world that she now weighs 200 lbs. It's not like we can't tell she's gained weight. Heck, for twenty years we've been watching her yo-yo back and forth.

This is my favorite part of the article:

It seems Winfrey is aware of the health risks, inviting both Greene and Dr. Mehmet Oz to her show during the first week of January, along with spirituality experts, sex therapists and financial expert Suze Orman.

I am really and truly glad that she can call in her personal doctor, her personal trainer and her personal financial expert to fix the problem. What does a financial expert have to do with it? Is she going to tell her to drop some bills out of her wallet?

If she's trying to inspire others of us who have weight to lose, it's not working. If someone with that much money and resources can't stay fit, what hope is there for us little people?

Thanks Oprah for making us all feel fatter and hopeless. You're awesome.

PS - How is this headline news? Why is this on the front page of every news site I've read today? Don't we have more important things to cover like corrupt governors and a failing economy? Sheesh.
