    I have seen the Oprah shows on TV.

    Why is she such a celebrity?

    Barkha Dutt tries to copy her style of asking questions and compare the show!

    Oprah gives away lots of stuff to the studio audience of her TV show. That must be good for ratings.

    Quote from article:

    Very disturbing.

    If it were not racist, unkind, and offensive, I would call Oprah Winfrey Darkey Butt.

    I think because as she said, she connects directly to the heart of the people. Although, I know that anything that you can hype in this world, automatically becomes salable, yet it seems there is something more to her.

    It is news since the Americans are rather sensitive about 'family values'.

    That is what the political pundits tell us. My older son has started watching a series on SHO called "Shameless." I can't watch it. It is despicable.

    Hehe, whilst I generally get the joke and not the aftereffects, I find it stupid that they don't bother double checking some of the material for cultural sensitivity. Especially here - I mean, ANY huge structure would have worked, but for whatever reason, they thought this would be funnier, but they should have got a Sikh (or two or three, its not like there is a shortage of them) to sign off on it.

    But Americans are not alone!
