..::Previous entry: "The Red (neck) States"::.. ..::Main Index::.. ..::Next entry: "Ow! My Eyes!"::.. 03:08:2005 Entry: "Ann : I wish I hadn't seen that..."I wish I hadn't seen that...I turned on the tv this afternoon to catch some news and was immediately hit with a screaming Oprah head. "'The hell?" I thought, and left it on just to see what on earth could be causing Oprah such histrionics, which, probably wasn't a whole lot knowing how Oprah likes to behave like a 5-year-old demanding to be the center of attention. Two women were holding her earlobes, one had a piercing gun. Oprah was getting her ears pierced for the first time. A bit odd, I thought, as I figured that everyone in the world had their ears pierced at least once except for my mom and mother-in-law. But the truly odd part of this wasn't that Oprah (what is she, like 5 years older than I am? In her late 40s?) was getting her ears pierced at that old an age, but the fact that she was putting up such a fuss about it! Each time the gun woman approached with the implement, Oprah protested, "Wait a minute!" and tried to "compose herself" (yes, I know, "compose herself" and "Oprah" really don't belong in the same paragraph) yet simultaneously put on a little diva fit. I watched it. I was incredulous that I was actually watching Oprah, yet more incredulous that someone could behave like such a spoiled little child over getting her ears pierced! I simply couldn't believe what I was watching. I have now decided that Oprah is THE Disney Witch Extraordinare, DW SpokesDiva. She is Queen DW. Throw all attention HER way, she is the center of the Universe. What Oprah Wants, Oprah Gets. I would guess millions of people get piercings daily, and there's no more benign place than the lobes. I got mine done twice, once when I was 13, and again when I was a few years older. Yeah, it hurts a little, but it's so quick, and then it's over. No need for the spoiled diva fit. I guess I just don't understand... How do people watch that stuff? Do you have to be a DW to enjoy that show? Makeup tips and how to look younger? I can't think of a more frightening experience than being in an Oprah audience and having to deal with all those comfortable suburban female admirers (or the random gay ones that want to BE Oprah). Yeeeeesh. After diamond studs were inserted, I turned it off and went upstairs to type this. I am going to try and watch the news now...
4 Comments As a guy who got his nipple pierced some years ago I have no sympathy for people who pierce their ears and try to pretend it's painful ;) Posted by Nico @ 02:22:2005:05:30 AM CST Now that WOULD hurt! Someone ought to slap Oprah. I swear, if I was one of the piercing party, I would've. And I don't slap easily (just my pets whe they were young and I was trying to teach them that it is not good to bite). It is also not good to behave like a spoiled Divawuss in front of a National Audience of Television Viewers, but considering the kind of people who watch Oprah on a regular basis, they probably enjoyed it, Disney Divas that they are in their own little suburban Chicago households. Poor Stan, he's subjected to Oprah on a regular basis in the breakroom at his job. I only have to endure it when I turn on the TV and it happens to be on that channel and it just happens to be the Oprah Hour, which, fortunately, is extremely rarely. There is a device that automatically turns off tvs remotely. If it is affordable, perhaps I should get him one for his birthday. Posted by Ann @ 02:22:2005:11:50 AM CST My sympathy goes to Stan. Except reality-tv, only Dr. Phil beats Oprah ;) Posted by Nico @ 02:23:2005:06:03 AM CST Ewwww...yes...Dr. Phil. I can't stand that either. I hate the shows where someone tells others how to live. But it begs the question: who would want to be told by someone like Dr. Phil how to live? Posted by Ann @ 02:23:2005:07:31 AM CST By Ann @ 10:52 PM CST:03:08:05 ..::Link::.. |
