Yes, Even Oprah Has Purchased A Wii

Kotaku: "Oprah Winfrey is a tastemaker. No, make that, Oprah Winfrey is the tastemaker. She can make or break things. If she starts reading a book on her television program, it becomes a bestseller. Oprah carries a profound influence. Gossip site spotted talk show host, her bodyguards and two children she was accompanying in a Hawaiian Walmart, buying the Nintendo Wii. And we couldn't help but think that this Nintendo Wii console just might become popular and could very well be a hit. The media mogul also purchased two Wii games, but it wasn't mentioned what two games those were. Wonder why Oprah is buying the Wii and not getting freebies by the truckload from Nintendo? Because she's filthy rich, that's why."

She tried to buy me the other day, I said no sale. Actullay im surprised she just did not get one of her people to get one directly from the manufacture. Maybe a custom 'Harpo' case.

Cool, maybe she's going to talk about the Wii on her show and will use this footage for the Show. I bet that's why she went herself.

Since when did being "filthy rich" stop them from getting stuff for free? I think the reality is....Nintendo does not need celebrity advertising.....the systems are holding their own, on their own.

Oprah leads a flock of sheep. She could wear a necklace made of horse poop and it would be all the rage.

My wife calls me up at work crying about once a month saying things like don't let our kids ever play in dumpsters. They just had an Oprah show where some kid lost his testicles while climbing in a dumpster when the lid slammed down on him because of municipal negligence.

Next thing you know half the women in America are writing nasty letters to dumpster makers everywhere.

first of all, holy $hit. i did not see the dumpster story going in that direction. I think I'll cringe every time I see one. Second lol that your wife felt you needed to be told to not let your kid play in a dumpster.

If Jeremy Kyle is a "messiah" to millions of (stupid) housewives and OBVIOUSLY racist against whites, the yes, he is the Oprah of the UK.
