Oprah Creates Run on Nordstrom Bras -- Hailed as God

Oprah aired a bra intervention episode this week, causing a run on bras sold by Nordstrom’s, according to an article by The Seattle Times. It is hardly the first time that the woman with more money than God has caused a retail frenzy. There is a long list of devoted retailers that praise the glory of Oprah. One retail devotee of Oprah from the Container Store was impressed after Oprah featured an item from her store that soon sold out. She said of Oprah, “She is like God.”

Retailers, of course, only make up a small portion of the vast horde of Oprah disciples. The Chicago Sun-Times reports that Oprah, indeed, gives people a sense of religious experience. A poll on Beliefnet.com revealed that 33% of those who responded felt that Oprah “had a more profound impact” on their spiritual lives than any clergyperson. Talk show mini-mogul, Ellen DeGeneres, pictures God as Oprah Winfrey in a purple pantsuit. As we have learned from Oprah: if a talk show host says it, it must be true. If this is the second coming, it appears that the 25 to 35 year old white guy loses out again. (Let me assure you that it only looks like I could care less.)
