PrintableAt first I thought this was cool, and then I thought, why do we need even MORE cars on the road? 
Not that I wouldn't be excited if I won one though.  But I don't drive anyway, so...."I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

and did ya'll not see the rest of the show. I think its sad that anytime someone gives something here goes the "tax write off" stuff.... if she gave you a car...it would be a different story. I say BIG ups to Oprah for even thinking of the various things she did on the show....especially buying that house for that family and helping the homeless young woman. Yup!! I don't care what anybody says about Oprah. I love her and I always will.  such blind adoration can get you in trouble  | |

exactly. well put. as a child I was taught "When you do a good deed, do it quietly and then forget about it" (which is why I wrote that in my previous post). there is no need to publically broadcast or advertise those good works. well, no need to unless the publicity is what you're really after. Oprah acts like she thinks she's the Wizard of Oz or something. | |

And I salute Oprah making her good deeds well known. Yes, there is something to be said about the quiet good deeds. But with all the bad news we hear in the world today, I think it is great to see a celebrity using her celebrity for goodness. People value celebrity. Perhaps her works will inspire others to do as well. I don't know Oprah, so I don't presume to know what is in her soul, or what her intentions are. For me, the bottom line is that she doesn't have to anything, yet she chooses to do a lot. Good work! http://elmadartista.tumblr.com/ http://twitter.com/madartista | |

SassyBritches said: simple tax write offs and free publicity for the car company. if oprah really wants to impress me, she'll keep her charity anonymous and simply enjoy the giving quietly rather than boastfully.
i'm still gonna go on that show and try and get something, lol! 
I'm always gonna try to get tickets when she does the "Oprah's Favorite Things" shows. She does those like, twice a year, doesn't she? They did WHAT??!....
