That's pretty disgusting in my opinion.

Yes, I know she helps out good causes BUT 90% of those people likely already have 1 or more cars.

Why not give $1,000 to 8,000 families below the poverty line?

I know she likely has done that, but still, then make it $1,000 to 16,000 families below the poverty line..

Oprah is very generous but I think the cars are donated by GM..like most of the products that are given away on her show, they are a courtesy of the product's maker or seller. This is just simply another form of advertising for the companies (give away free stuff and hopefully the people watching at home will go get one because Oprah recommended it).

It's smart really...since the vast population of spenders are usually women and ALL women watch Oprah or atleast have seen her show.

To give away a few hundred to the audience is simply nothing when you can get at least 5% of the viewers at home to actually buy the product after it hits Oprah's Hot list.

she is a great person, even though she has more money then she knows what to do with she seems to be a down to earth person and a great giver! yes the cars were donated but do u know many other people that GM would do that for, i dont

The cars were donated by Pontiac, not a dime came out of Oprah's pocket. I'd say Pontiac is the class act. :2 cents:

Fuck the drama.. It was cool as fuck of her!

Yeah nice stunt.

How about taking that money and helping some people mthat really need the help.

If they could not afford cars, then what the fuck were they doing sitting on their asses in her studio??

Dont you think that it would have been better if they were getting jobs.??

Now they have cars that they can not afford to insure.

Nice, 200+ people on the road now without insurance, because they dont have money, because it is a lot easier to watch opra than to work.


Nice JOB Opra.

SHE didn't donate anything. The cars were donated by the manufacturer, including the manufacturer agreeing to pay for customized options for each persons vehicle.

Oprah is just the one who ends up getting the free publicity & exposure from tards who don't look past the surface of such shameless self promotion.

Class would be her donating them herself, in PRIVATE behind closed doors and no one ever hearing about it. Big difference.

Who cares HOW 276 people got brand new cars. Oprah made it happen with the help of Pontiac. Props to Oprah ( and Pontiac ).

:thumbsup

When you can arrange to give away 276 brand new cars that someone else donates, Props to you too.

The ability to give is an incredible gift itself.

More power to her and her success.

(although the cars were provided by Pontiac)
