When releasing new music today, half the battle is online promotion. However, contests, signed merch and giveaways aren’t always the best solutions. When working on their latest album, Hedley came up with a brilliant idea, they decided to make trailers.

It was announced this week that Oprah will release a multidisc DVD collection including highlights of her last two decades on air in celebration of the twentieth anniversary of The Oprah Winfery Show. Proceeds from the sale of the DVDs ? which will include behind-the-scenes footage and interviews ? will be donated to Oprah’s Angel Network, the host’s $30 million nonprofit organization.
Now, I can?t possibly hold Oprah in higher regard ? I think she?s one of the most inspirational female role models around today, so news of this recent charity project didn?t surprise me. It did, however, remind me of a ?conversation? (which, as I remember it, was a lot more like a quiet death match) I had with a friend a few months ago. He was adamant that Oprah is not the good-intentioned humanitarian I admire so dearly, but instead a ratings-driven attention whore who would say or do whatever it took in order to appeal to a nation of viewers.
I was shocked. In fact, merely recalling that conversation gets my blood boiling. For the record, Oprah has traveled to Africa where she made donations to needy children and founded a school for girls; she initiated the National Child Protection Act to monitor convicted child abusers; her Angel Network has created scholarships, supported women?s shelters and funded youth centers; and her television show urges people to live a healthier, fuller life everyday. And that?s just the stuff we know about.
Despite rhyming off this list of good deeds, I couldn?t convince my friend that Oprah is an honest-to-goodness decent person ? he was sure she pulled ?stunts? like the charity DVD release for personal gain and improved image. How, he argued, can anyone think she?s motivated only by good intentions when these so-called good intentions have made her the richest woman in America, and continue to benefit her through increased advertising for her show and magazine?
Not only did I assume my friend was crazy for questioning Oprah?s motives, I also assumed he was alone in doing so. But I was wrong. A quick search on Google revealed there are over 5,000 websites devoted to hatred for the Queen of Daytime. Posts on anti-Oprah message boards touched on beliefs that Oprah is self-involved (??Oprah is about Oprah and that’s the bottom line. She’s made kerbillions pandering to celebrities and selling her crapola to the masses??), that she herself is not genuine (?She’s so fucking insincere, which is fine, I don’t need my TV show hosts to be 100% insincere. What’s not fine is how she sells herself based on her sincerity. I hope something terrible happens to her??), and that her charity work is based on self-promotion (?(Oprah) has to tell everyone what she did?and why we are bad for not supporting her charity??). And for those who REALLY hate her, $19.99 will get you a super chic ?I Hate Oprah? t-shirt.
It seems everyone who claims Oprah is an insincere attention whore uses the same evidence to back up their accusation: her money. As mentioned, she is the richest woman in the US, and for some reason this calls her values into question. I guess I have to wonder, if she?s already the wealthiest and one of the most powerful women on the planet, why would she continue to do the charity work she?s doing if there?s nothing more to gain? More money won?t make a difference, and she certainly doesn?t need the media exposure. At this point in her career, she could easily sit back and allow her show to sustain itself without featuring her humanitarian efforts. Maybe she does it because she can influence others and affect change. And maybe there are a lot more cynics than do-gooders out there, and maybe it?s easier to cast doubt on someone?s good intentions than it is to believe they are capable of making a difference. And maybe it?s hard to watch a rich and successful person achieve further fame and admiration simply by ?being nice.?
I never did convert my friend that night. His anger towards what he perceived to be Oprah?s greed ran just as strong and stubborn as my appreciation for what I believe is her generous nature. I?d love to hear your thoughts regarding whether or not you believe Oprah is a genuine humanitarian. In the meantime, I?ll continue to be one of the 30 million viewers tuning in every day to watch her donate her time and money to her fellow man – whatever the reason may be.
