Oprah is Your God. Example #1 →
oprah just signed a three year deal with hbo to create scripted programming, documentaries and more. i’m not one to hate on the o.  i think she is pretty alright, but i would like to maybe go one day without seeing her —clad in jewel tones— smiling defiantly at me from the cover of her magazine and demanding that i “think positive!” when all i’m trying to do...
