What the hell is a Swing Turtleneck and why is it $141?
I woudl assumed that for some of the items the audiences gets gift certificates for the larger items and clothing. Could be wrong.

I did think the fridge thing was over the top! I mean really it must have been a special at overstock.com or something. lol.. Ugg... And the 59$ for 9 flippin cupcakes ARE U SERIOUS!!! Wow. I don't think I would ever pay that much for a cupcake regardless of how much money I had or didn't have for that matter. I bet I can make a slammin cupcake for a buck. I guess whatever floats yer boat.

This is the only thing I'd want, if I didn't already have one that worked just fine for me.
According to Oprah, you're not supposed to wear socks with this boot. STINKY FEET!
Fugly and cheap-looking.
Stick the name "Williams-Sonoma" on anything, and it's overpriced. $50 for cupcakes and $50 for a bunch of molded plastic? No thanks.
How much you wanna bet they melt faster than an ice cube on a Chicago sidewalk in summer?
See the comment above about WS, and add in the use of an exotic-sounding foreign word that just means 'sandwich'.
Can I have the cash instead?
See above about exotic-sounding foreign words. Thank you.
Only if I'm pregnant--which means NEVER.
Ok, this was cool, too.

...a dive into the depravity that is orgasm-inducing materialism. GREAT LINE! I am sickened by such materialism. And Oprahis an idol to many women...My husband calls it the 'Cult of Oprah'. She has celebs on her show all the time (ENOUGH with them!), makeovers with $500 haircuts and $400 jeans, but then a week later has Suze Orman on there to tell you how to not spend money and to cut costs. WTF?? And again with the celebs....the ass-kissing...ugh. They are on another planet! I hate, HATE, HATE our Celebrity Obsessed Culture, seeing these mags with how So-and-So paid $50,000 for his latest vacation in Italy and all of these extravagant things when I know that there are elderly people who go without food so they can pay for their medications or moms who work day and night to put food on the table. I just read how Britney get something like $750,000 a month and she blows it. That makes me want to cry... Getting paid $20 million for a movie should be a crime. Going on Oprah's show to talk about Africa and the poor while getting paid $20 mil for your next movie should get you locked up for a nice long while. It is sickening. Vanity of vanities...in the end, it is all meaningless and empty.

Vanity of vanities...in the end, it is all meaningless and empty. We definitely live in a celeb obsessed country. Makes me sick how we put celebs on a pedestal while those who truly are heroes (teachers, firefighters, soldiers, police officers, etc) make little. I definitely think celebs make too much money. There was a time when movie stars made a (by today's standards) a modest studio wage except the huge stars. Many lived in modest homes. Very few of today's celebs are anywhere as talented as the ones from long ago, yet you hear every detail from even the minor celebs. I never watch her when she has celebs unless it's a celeb I like (very few). I don't watch many of her shows except shows like this and the financial ones. I think of this particular show as one of those fantasy shows.

I get what you're saying EL11, but, because I think too much--and I have to rationalize how comfortable my life is compared to so many others without feeling that the only thing I can do is exile myself and become a nun at Mother Teresa's former convent , here are just my thoughts: The celebs don't bother me as much as the CEOs of corporations who still make more money in bonuses than their salaries during years that their companies aren't doing well. They then use this excuse to give the regular employees goose eggs as raises that year. The celebs at least get paid for their 'talent', and *we* are the ones that make them stars. We control their paychecks, and when we are no longer interested, they go into obscurity. I am watching a too-big, too-expensive TV, and I can harp as much as a celeb on the evils of poverty. I just can't get all up in arms about celebs when I, too, splurge according to the scale of my income, ya know? Like that rationalization?!

...a dive into the depravity that is orgasm-inducing materialism. I'm having this printed on a tshirt. It will match other tshirt -Nothing says the holidays like a predawn scuffle at Walmart". I betcha most of the gifties were not take home by the audience. It would require them to pay taxes, most likely right on the spot. (At least that's how it's handled at the Price is Right gameshow.) Quite frankly, who has that amount of cash lying around? Oh that's right, Oprah would. side note: I do like the shaklee cleaning products. Very nice but expensive, I make my own for pennies. Cause pennies is all i own!!!!!

Many of the people needed cars so must have been a blow. I bet the taxes on the refrig were high. I think ceo's are a bigger problem than celebs, but we rarely see most on talk shows.
