Since when is this lady queen? Whats so special about her? I am unable to see anything worthy in her character. Just a rich talk show lady from the US, with pathetic jokes.
They removed a black doll from a store as it was deemed it could be offensive to her. I still find it hard to believe what people do just for this woman. She's a joke to me, a humiliation to society and civilisation.
If only she was Macedonian, then all athenian stores could be removed from the city, as athenian culture is offensive and a sign of oppression to the Macedonian people.
Oprah Winfrey's production company asked a Melbourne shop to remove golliwog "washerwoman" dolls from display fearing the talk-show queen would take offence, reports said Thursday.
The Dafel Dolls and Bear Shop was asked to take the "Mamee" dolls from its shelves ahead of a cocktail party there late Friday for 110 guests of Oprah's "Ultimate Australian Adventure", the Herald Sun newspaper said.
Dressed in a maid costume with a scarf around its head, it was feared the doll would upset 56-year-old Winfrey, the report said, though it was unknown whether the talk-show host, who is black, would attend the doll shop event.
Golliwog dolls are considered offensive in the United States because of their links with slavery and racism.
A shop employee contacted by AFP denied any agreement had been entered into with Oprah's production company, or that any cocktail party will take place.
