Humor: Irrefutable Evidence That Oprah Winfrey is
Sauron, the Dark Lord of Mordor by Michael Ripley<< Back to Books
The Eyes
Extreme close-ups are extremely rare on Oprah herself because the producers of the show don't want you to have a good look at her eyes. I've seen two close-ups myself, and both of them scared the shit out of me. Tolkien described them as "a window into nothingness," and I'll add that I've never seen her eyelids.
The Secrecy
A master of deceit and treachery, Oprah is virtually an unreachable entity, holed away in a far-off Dark Tower. I don't know of anyone who can claim to have seen Oprah--the real Oprah--in person, but I've heard rumors that her staff members occasionally refer to her as "The Necromancer." I tried calling her once, to see if she was responsible for the breeding of the Olog-Hai, and her so-called secretary insisted I had the wrong number.
Fear of Hobbits
Have you ever seen anyone on Oprah shorter than Oprah herself? It isn't a coincidence. If I had my ass burned by Hobbits, it'd be a cold day in Mordor before I'd invite one of them on the show for an interview. Same goes for bearded old men in dresses.
Creator of the One Ring
The Oprah Book Club has become a modern-day allegory for a powerful Ring: an ideological circle of New Age (read Middle Earth) spells and curses, wrapped in a pretty package of self-help covers. Capture the Ring, and you could become one of the most powerful cult figures in the world. Destroy it and you could spell Oprah's demise. I don't have to tell you: One Ring to rule them all.
