Customer Reviews of O, The Oprah Magazine [1-year subscription]

Be the Advocate!
<
>Like millions of others I am Oprah follower. I do watch the show as often as my time allows. However, I think that the magazine is many steps behind the show. Maybe it is because we are all used to do some errands when the commercials come on TV during the show. Maybe because the show does not seem to be contracted out to other celebrities to fill the void... <
> <
>I am simply overwhelmed by the amount of advertising in the magazine.-- What a waste of paper! I imagined that "Oprah Inc." is rich enough to give up on some extra revenues for the sake of better content... <
> <
>I also find that it would be more interesting to diversify the articles with some not-so-accomplished authors as Dr. Phil. Why the magazine does not bring to the daylight some other great authors that deserve much more attention than they are presently given? It is a big mystery to me that such name as Tombak ([[ASIN:0972732837 Cure the Incurable]]), remains obscure, while other authors, are being thrown in our face day by day to the point of nausea... I'd imagine that this would be a great opportunity for such media like Oprah Magazine to step up and play the role of the advocate, discoverer, promoter, or whatever you call it. Some things simply need more publicity, so why pass on the opportunity and play the same old record again and again... <
> <
>So much critique and still 4 stars? Hey, I criticize to improve things that I like. Oprah magazine deserves 4 stars, but it can be even better... <

thanks
I am very satisfied with this transaction - the magazine has come twice already and I look forward to continued excellent delivery of the subscription. Thank you. I ordered the magazine from another seller this past year, and it NEVER was delivered. I appreciate your honesty and service.

Opr*h will buy you ALL new cars for reading O, GIRLFRIEND!! Seriously, look underneath your seat to find the keys, GIRLFRIEND!!!
Hi there...girlfriend!!!! All MY girlfriends have been harping about this Opr*h W*nfrey for the longest time like she's a goddess or something, a veritable black Jesus come down to Earth to "save" all the housewives across America. So, naturally, I just HAD to order a subscription of her much-vaunted magazine, if anything, just to see what all the hubbub among women, girlie-men and feminists was all about. Seriously, though, before my girlfriends turned me on to Opr*h, I'd never bothered with her show or any product associated with her--obviously because I'm an independent-thinking person unlike many of the Opr*h-sheeple who hang on every word she utters. Still, with my trustworthy girlfriends going on and on--like a bunch of overly noisy chickens--about the alleged benefits of O magazine, I just HAD to experience it firsthand. Sad to say, though, my feelings are mixed at best!!!! <
> <
>I base my fair and balanced review on the February 08 issue of O...you know, the one where she appears on the cover in all her glorious Opr*h-ness like a Queen haughtily assessing her overly loyal subjects (oh, who am I kidding: EVERY cover of O looks like that!). <
> <
>My first and totally understandable gripe comes from the noticeably overt hawking of liberal ideology disguised as mere "tips." On page 206, I think, there's a feature entitled "Eco-Makeover" whose premise is to indoctrinate unsuspecting housewives into the Al Gore-style hysteria of global warming fearmongering, girlfriend!!!! The "article" even begins with bold titles exaggerating distress about the allegedly "dying" polar bears, for goodness sake! What really galls me implacably about this "article" is that celebrities--yes, even no-name Matthew Modine (remember him?)-- are once again misused to shill for liberal, political causes. This article even has Modine going to some sucker-family's home and arrogantly--like the lib-elitist he is--helping them rearrange their kitchen so the products within are more environmentally friendly. Some advice doled out in this "article" consists of the liberal plot to make you smell worse as they suggest you should cut shower time by a few minutes!!!! <
> <
>After reading this blatant, liberal plan to indoctrinate me into their religion of environmentalism, my hands were shaking and my nerves were on edge as I couldn't believe my girlfriends had exaggerated Opr*h's divinity to this extreme, when, in fact, Opr*h merely appears to be a lowly peddler for liberal causes!!!! To wit, Opr*h ought to be really, really careful about hawking liberal causes--no matter how covertly--because the last one she attempted blew up in her face with massive backlash. I'm of course talking about her misdirected and aloof endorsement of Barack HUSSEIN Obama, girlfriend! Remember when she carelessly appeared at an elitist, removed-from-middle-America rally for him last month? Well, the backlash was immediate and unforgiving from many formerly thoughtless, Ophr*h subjects as they derided her for going political (apparently, women readers and viewers of her show only want the usual, banal tips on domestic life, not politics). For my part, as a full-blooded, Birkenstock-wearing feminista, I actually feel betrayed by Opr*h's endorsement of Barack HUSSEIN Obama since I feel she should've stuck to her gender and endorsed my girl, Madame Hillary!!!! <
> <
>The mag's quality declines further: one section's entitled something like "Different Ways to Save the World," and while this altruistic BS-title will appeal to well-meaning liberal ideologues, the "people" giving the "advice" in said section are unsavory. Any independent reader can tell that Opr*h's hawking yet MORE, liberal ideology here. For instance, one way of "saving" the world is suggested by the Planned Parenthood (read: Culture of Death) head whose "advice" consists of indoctrinating readers to demand factually correct sex-ed in schools. This really means she wants sex-ed programs that give condoms to ten-year olds, girlfriend!!!! Another villain presumptuously dispensing advice consists of an environMENTAList who insists on "green schools" under the reasoning that they actually boost test scores and save money (being a liberal reactionary, he naturally schemes to re-invest the saved money for higher teacher salaries, even though many teachers work as part of a public school monopoly with no accountability for teaching kids)! <
> <
>Some parts of O are also logically conflicting as the food section will prove. Under the title Knead and Love and Pray, the author of said article is apparently a mother of three who's complaining about being overworked. So, as "advice" on how working mothers should relax...she actually has the nerve to seriously suggest they all make pasta...from scratch, girlfriend! This hours-long process will flagrantly do NOTHING to help the already stressed-out mom relax, but this BS made its way into Opr*h's magazine nonetheless, girlfriend! <
> <
>Next, political correctness is proselytized on the unsuspecting housewife-reader in the fashion advice section; this month, it's about shrimpy gals (5'4" or shorter) finding the right outfits! One of these accursed gals just happens to be a 26-year-old, overweight woman who has no self-control in binge-eating. Yet, instead of calling her out on the fact her girth is the reason she can't find flattering clothing, O blames it on the clothing industry being obsessed with "petite" sizes and also whitewashes the 26-year-old as merely being "big-b*ned!" "Big-b*ned"...AHAHAHAHAAAAA, now that's funny! <
> <
>Another demerit lies in the elitist and unsympathetic manner O talks down to its audience, girlfriend!!!! In the aforementioned fashion section, tips for wardrobe choices are derisively given along with the costly price tags for the ensembles. In example, many ensembles are comprised of articles of clothing totaling several hundred dollars! This is obviously beyond the affordability of nearly all readers, but at least it goes to show that the Democrats are 100% wrong about the mythical, economic hardships bedeviling Americans. I mean, if O magazine tells housewives that they should buy these expensive ensembles, then that means there's really no recessions, right, girlfriend? <
> <
>One article was totally disturbing as it concerned an old woman (in her sixties) maltreating something along the lines of Rhonda Byrne's The Secret to find doubtful, "true" love. This is a rip-off of the Law of Attraction which is miserably absurd, yet the columnist for O actually feeds this tripe into the housewife-reader as if it's true. To cover her bases, this charlatan uses new, more obscure terms like "Core" and "Inner Peace" and what have you to whitewash the fact she's just regurgitating The Secret's BS, but sharp readers will see through this. <
> <
>O magazine crushed the very core of my soul with its liberal ideology masquerading as tips; shallow advice; elitist posturing; political correctness; and just plain stupid thoughtlessness in its absurd themes. My subscription to this tripe will definitely be canceled ASAP, girlfriend! Even seemingly harmless sections like the one called "Things we love" are just baneful as they endorse many foods which are high-carb (like cupcakes and pasta) and will go straight to the hips of many of the women readers! If O cannot even be sympathetic enough to know that us gals absorb high-carb foods right into our hips, then how can it be trusted?! <
> <
>Opr*h disappoints in the extreme with all the liberal ideology planted throughout this magazine, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised since she backed Barack HUSSEIN Obama whose few policies include deserting Iraq and sending diplomats to officially recognize US enemies like Iran!!!! Oh well, Opr*h's got the disastrous scandal known as the Leadership Academy for Girls in Johannesburg to sear over, so maybe that's why her magazine reeks so badly--because all her attention is consumed with damage control from that scandal, G-I-R-L-F-R-I-E-N-D!!!!
