"I have lots of things, like all these Manolo Blahniks. I have all that and I think it's great. I'm not one of those people like, 'Well, we must renounce ourselves.' No, I have a closet full of shoes and it's a good thing. I was coming back from Africa on one of my trips. I had taken one of my wealthy friends with me. She said, 'Don't you just feel guilty? Don't you just feel terrible?' I said, 'No, I don't. I do not know how me being destitute is going to help them.' Then I said when we got home, 'I'm going home to sleep on my Pratesi sheets right now and I'll feel good about it.' "
- Oprah
when you read things like these, you feel like getting a murderous urge.

Come on now. We all know Manolo Blahniks and Pretesi sheets provide employment to minors and women in numerous sweatshops in third world countries. So what if they pay them subsistence level wages that cant even tide them over til next week? It's better than nothing, right? We all should thank Oprah for buying those overpriced pieces of fine craftmanship.
i don't know, man. if i had a car, and i saw Tom or Oprah crossing the street, that's it - i'm gonna run 'em over.
