Write Oprah and tell her not to promote/encourage/support the octuplet mom.
Supposedly Oprah is considering putting her on the show, as well as Diane Sawyer. Now, some of you don't like Oprah, I get that. But the truth is that she's declined other guests when she came to realize/viewers brought to her attention the error in having them on. So, please join me in asking Oprah Winfrey NOT to support that woman.

Here's how to contact the show:

(I haven't included Diane Sawyer in this request because from what I've observed about her and the Today Show, the bigger the outcry over a person or issue, the more they will feature it.)

1. This has got to be the height
of "Not Having Anything Better To Do."

Although, perhaps my response to it goes even further......................

3. I don't give a crap
If somebody wants to give some millions to a regular person, what the fuckever. I'm never going to get any of it so what the hell do I care.

5. I think you underestimate Oprah
She puts on people only if they are going to offer something educational or uplifting to her audience. She aims not to sensationalize, unlike the Jerry Springer types.
I wouldn't bother writing because Oprah is far more savvy than you give her credit for.

8. Why is this such an issue?
Who cares?

Look, we can't have it BOTH ways, I've seen post after post decrying the fact that tax dollars are going to be used to care for these children and now she may have a chance to earn some money to take care of her brood and it's still not good enough. What gives?
