O, The Oprah Magazine Review |
|
Hi there...girlfriend!!!! All MY girlfriends have been harping about this Opr*h W*nfrey for the longest time like she's a goddess or something, a veritable black Jesus come down to Earth to "save" all the housewives across America. So, naturally, I just HAD to order a subscription of her much-vaunted magazine, if anything, just to see what all the hubbub among women, girlie-men and feminists was all about. Seriously, though, before my girlfriends turned me on to Opr*h, I'd never bothered with her show or any product associated with her--obviously because I'm an independent-thinking person unlike many of the Opr*h-sheeple who hang on every word she utters. Still, with my trustworthy girlfriends going on and on--like a bunch of overly noisy chickens--about the alleged benefits of O magazine, I just HAD to experience it firsthand. Sad to say, though, my feelings are mixed at best!!!!
I base my fair and balanced review on the February 08 issue of O...you know, the one where she appears on the cover in all her glorious Opr*h-ness like a Queen haughtily assessing her overly loyal subjects (oh, who am I kidding: EVERY cover of O looks like that!). My first and totally understandable gripe comes from the noticeably overt hawking of liberal ideology disguised as mere "tips." On page 206, I think, there's a feature entitled "Eco-Makeover" whose premise is to indoctrinate unsuspecting housewives into the Al Gore-style hysteria of global warming fearmongering, girlfriend!!!! The "article" even begins with bold titles exaggerating distress about the allegedly "dying" polar bears, for goodness sake! What really galls me implacably about this "article" is that celebrities--yes, even no-name Matthew Modine (remember him?)-- are once again misused to shill for liberal, political causes. This article even has Modine going to some sucker-family's home and arrogantly--like the lib-elitist he is--helping them rearrange their kitchen so the products within are more environmentally friendly. Some advice doled out in this "article" consists of the liberal plot to make you smell worse as they suggest you should cut shower time by a few minutes!!!! After reading this blatant, liberal plan to indoctrinate me into their religion of environmentalism, my hands were shaking and my nerves were on edge as I couldn't believe my girlfriends had exaggerated Opr*h's divinity to this extreme, when, in fact, Opr*h merely appears to be a lowly peddler for liberal causes!!!! To wit, Opr*h ought to be really, really careful about hawking liberal causes--no matter how covertly--because the last one she attempted blew up in her face with massive backlash. I'm of course talking about her misdirected and aloof endorsement of Barack HUSSEIN Obama, girlfriend! Remember when she carelessly appeared at an elitist, removed-from-middle-America rally for him last month? Well, the backlash was immediate and unforgiving from many formerly thoughtless, Ophr*h subjects as they derided her for going political (apparently, women readers and viewers of her show only want the usual, banal tips on domestic life, not politics). For my part, as a full-blooded, Birkenstock-wearing feminista, I actually feel betrayed by Opr*h's endorsement of Barack HUSSEIN Obama since I feel she should've stuck to her gender and endorsed my girl, Madame Hillary!!!! The mag's quality declines further: one section's entitled something like "Different Ways to Save the World," and while this altruistic BS-title will appeal to well-meaning liberal ideologues, the "people" giving the "advice" in said section are unsavory. Any independent reader can tell that Opr*h's hawking yet MORE, liberal ideology here. For instance, one way of "saving" the world is suggested by the Planned Parenthood (read: Culture of Death) head whose "advice" consists of indoctrinating readers to demand factually correct sex-ed in schools. This really means she wants sex-ed programs that give condoms to ten-year olds, girlfriend!!!! Another villain presumptuously dispensing advice consists of an environMENTAList who insists on "green schools" under the reasoning that they actually boost test scores and save money (being a liberal reactionary, he naturally schemes to re-invest the saved money for higher teacher salaries, even though many teachers work as part of a public school monopoly with no accountability for teaching kids)! Some parts of O are also logically conflicting as the food section will prove. Under the title Knead and Love and Pray, the author of said article is apparently a mother of three who's complaining about being overworked. So, as "advice" on how working mothers should relax...she actually has the nerve to seriously suggest they all make pasta...from scratch, girlfriend! This hours-long process will flagrantly do NOTHING to help the already stressed-out mom relax, but this BS made its way into Opr*h's magazine nonetheless, girlfriend! Next, political correctness is proselytized on the unsuspecting housewife-reader in the fashion advice section; this month, it's about shrimpy gals (5'4" or shorter) finding the right outfits! One of these accursed gals just happens to be a 26-year-old, overweight woman who has no self-control in binge-eating. Yet, instead of calling her out on the fact her girth is the reason she can't find flattering clothing, O blames it on the clothing industry being obsessed with "petite" sizes and also whitewashes the 26-year-old as merely being "big-b*ned!" "Big-b*ned"...AHAHAHAHAAAAA, now that's funny! Another demerit lies in the elitist and unsympathetic manner O talks down to its audience, girlfriend!!!! In the aforementioned fashion section, tips for wardrobe choices are derisively given along with the costly price tags for the ensembles. In example, many ensembles are comprised of articles of clothing totaling several hundred dollars! This is obviously beyond the affordability of nearly all readers, but at least it goes to show that the Democrats are 100% wrong about the mythical, economic hardships bedeviling Americans. I mean, if O magazine tells housewives that they should buy these expensive ensembles, then that means there's really no recessions, right, girlfriend? One article was totally disturbing as it concerned an old woman (in her sixties) maltreating something along the lines of Rhonda Byrne's The Secret to find doubtful, "true" love. This is a rip-off of the Law of Attraction which is miserably absurd, yet the columnist for O actually feeds this tripe into the housewife-reader as if it's true. To cover her bases, this charlatan uses new, more obscure terms like "Core" and "Inner Peace" and what have you to whitewash the fact she's just regurgitating The Secret's BS, but sharp readers will see through this. O magazine crushed the very core of my soul with its liberal ideology masquerading as tips; shallow advice; elitist posturing; political correctness; and just plain stupid thoughtlessness in its absurd themes. My subscription to this tripe will definitely be canceled ASAP, girlfriend! Even seemingly harmless sections like the one called "Things we love" are just baneful as they endorse many foods which are high-carb (like cupcakes and pasta) and will go straight to the hips of many of the women readers! If O cannot even be sympathetic enough to know that us gals absorb high-carb foods right into our hips, then how can it be trusted?! Opr*h disappoints in the extreme with all the liberal ideology planted throughout this magazine, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised since she backed Barack HUSSEIN Obama whose few policies include deserting Iraq and sending diplomats to officially recognize US enemies like Iran!!!! Oh well, Opr*h's got the disastrous scandal known as the Leadership Academy for Girls in Johannesburg to sear over, so maybe that's why her magazine reeks so badly--because all her attention is consumed with damage control from that scandal, G-I-R-L-F-R-I-E-N-D!!!! |

Fabulous, fun, and life-improving -  |

I'm normally not a magazine person because I don't like paying for someone to advertise practically cover to cover with only a few stories here and there. This magazine has it all: things to enrich the community & our own lives, a little beauty and fashion here and there, and even some mind candy. |

Coffee Table Magazine - |
O, The Oprah Magazine Review |
|
Enjoyable monthly reading experience. Beautifully created look that belongs on a coffee table. Timely, informative & thought provoking. Downside: a few too many ads & articles on favorite things etc. that most of the reading public will never purchase or be able to afford. On the expensive side off the newstand but can be purchased at a great deal on Amazon. Have seen lowest offer at 79 cents an issue versus $3.99 off the rack. |

Chock full of good stuff - |
O, The Oprah Magazine Review |
|
The only bad thing about O magazine is that there is so much stuff in it, that it takes a long time to get through each issue and they stack up. By the time I've read the Easter issue, Thanksgiving it here. |
