Bill Maher’s Xmas Message to Oprah

~~whimsy~~

I'm too lazy to set a usertitle.
As I read the comments and all that, I realize that I have no qualms about Oprah or anyone else wanting to give things away to their audience or people. If I had the gratuitous amount of money Oprah has or at her disposal, I would certainly love to give money and things that can help people away. However on any talk show I might catch where the host gives something away and what I despise is when the people are unable to conduct themselves in a manner that shows they have some kind of sense and self control.

I have seen the crowds go wild as if they just watched someone get devoured by a lion in the coliseum. I have watched Ellen where she has the camera in some city giving someone a brand new car and $10,000 cash, they can't stop screaming and jumping around long enough to say a simple fucking thank you and show some damn graciousness and civility.

I realize receiving something of that nature is exciting, but in the end it should not erase any form of civilized behavior they have. If they have any at all. And if it is staged and they are told to act like wild animals, that is a damn shame.

If I was in the crowd I would certainly be excited, especially after seeing what Ellen had given away this past year in her 12 days of Christmas. I've never seen it before but what she was giving away this year was some pretty nice stuff. As for the things I would not want I would give to someone else as a gift or someone I know would appreciate it.

There is nothing wrong at all in giving away something. It all comes down to the person giving it away and where their heart is and how the person who receives it accepts it.

I just wish society didn't make everything so damn hyped up where people lose all control and look like they are having a seizure or just watched a loved one die before their eyes.

Tip: install a spycam in your toilet.
The oprah audience is basically composed of the same people who rooted for obama and those who approve the ghetto crowd and the ghetto mentality. I dislike Oprah.
It's dumb housewives, their political stance aside. I don't know why you'd even mention Obama.

I do find it slightly ironic since Maher loves his own hysterical zombie audience members with an only slightly less creepiness. :cool:

I love Bill.....I had seen this before....and it is spot on! You see the obnoxious contestants on Million Dollar Money Drop literally having an orgasm sniffing money. Hell I think anything over a $20 has cocaine residue on it....maybe that was what they were sniffing!

But what I love about Bill is the fact that he is not afraid to tell things the way they REALLY are & he is not afraid to my fellow Americans out! Sadly, too often the truth isn't exactly the most popular thing to say! I mean Hell, the level of greed that exists in the US is so bad that I'm fairly certain that if Satan exists, that he awakens every morning with an erection when he thinks about the greed, narcissism, and materialism that exists in this country. I mean is it any wonder that poorly educated Kenyans are so easily able to rip Americans (even highly educated professionals) off through various scams? When greed is involved, the brain goes bye bye!!! Hell, we don't make anything anymore! Our whole economy is based on spending money.....usually borrowed at that!

Furthermore, Bill is spot on with regard to religion too. I am a very private person in my religious practices, and I have a great disdain for organized religion. Like Bill, I agree that far more negative things have resulted from organized religion that any good that came from it. Organized religion tends to divide us as opposed to bringing us together. Sadly, the cynic in me was stoked when I found out there was no Santa, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, etc......but God, another unseen entity, does exist. The only thing that allows me to keep an open mind about God and/or a creator is the fact that the Big Bang Theory alone does not explain everything......the hole in it makes a creator possible. However, the fact that I have seen 1st hand that churches tend to be "houses of hypocrisy" and the historical record on organized religion, makes me feel very strongly that the world and society would be a FAR better place without it (if it never even existed really)! Look at the Jews and Muslims who have hated each other for over 2000 years.....despite the fact that they are from the same blood line (per the Bible anyway).

Anyway, I for one STILL miss "Politically Incorrect," which was 5 nights a week! "Real Time" once a week, with long periods where it is on hiatus, isn't enough Bill for me.

I don't think religion is the problem as much as the fallacies and shortcoming of the people that make everything bad. Evil has a way of corrupting everything if people let it, and eventually they usually do.

Bill Maher is a douche bag.

You have to love the sort that sits back and picks apart everything around them.

Here you have one wealthy person poking fun at another wealthy person. The irony is nauseating.

The guy has a good head on his shoulders but he's far from brilliant.
