a little late, but wot the hell...

A reader sent in this photo of the new Oprah billboard perched above La Cienga Boulevard at Melrose touting today's show about her journey to Auschwitz with author and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel. If the oddly cheery ad is any indication (have they no templates where she's not beaming quite so brightly?), maybe Oprah, despite her burgeoning position as America's spiritual shepherd, is in a little over her head this time. The usually ecstatic moment in which Oprah shouts, "Everyone gets a car!" will lack its ringing note of triumph, instead taking on a sad poignancy when Wiesel bows his head and responds, "Yes, yes. I suppose they do."

okay i realize my opening comment could be misinterpreted, and of course i mean that the show was last wednesday.

That billboard is ripe for photoshopping. Someone surprise us...

I mean shit, it's gonna be hard just to top the original.

― Marmotdeth (marmotwolof), Wednesday, 31 May 2006 04:55 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, someone deface the billboard. Please do.

Could it BE any more tasteless? The exposition sounds like the titles of the Spot picture books such as Spot Goes To The Park or Spot Goes To The Circus. It makes going to Auschwitz sound so banal. For the love of all things, at least the board won't be up for long.

OK, so sending Oprah to the gas chambers is going to get a massive rating but afterwards it's going to fall off rather sharply!

(you gotta admit, "goes to auschwitz" is hard to top)

Someone make "Oprah Gets An Anal Probe".

For some reason "Oprah Does A Bong Hit" was the one that made me LOL.

i was sad that the time on that wasn't "4:20"

The (Windows Media, 30 second) promo clip. It's like the Se7en trailer/opening scene. (you'd almost expect to hear the Wilhelm scream in there somewhere)

― StanM (StanM), Wednesday, 31 May 2006 17:36 (nineteen years ago)

I thought this was going to be a movie, a la Ernest Goes To Camp.

"It's like the Se7en trailer/opening scene"
