Anyway, I was immediately repulsed and sickened by the reaction of her audience when they were given new cars. The studio audience cried. They screamed. They hugged.
"Everybody gets a car! Everybody gets a car! Everybody gets a car!" Winfrey yelled, as she jumped up and down on the stage. Winfrey said the audience members were chosen because their friends or family had written to the show about their need for a new car. One woman's young son said she drove a car that "looks like she got into a gunfight"; another couple had almost 400,000 miles on their two vehicles.
They waddled out of the studio and down the sidewalk, following after Winfrey in their pantsuits and heels, looking like sweating, tear-streaked, corralled cattle, the lot of them.
By the way, the car: A stinkin' Pontiac.
