oprah sucks.
so apparently oprah is giving jenny mccarthy her own tv show. and she's asking people to tell her what to put on the said show. sounds like a fun show. what a great idea. this is the suggestion i sent them:
"What should Jenny do?"
Jenny should stop spreading misinformation and threatening the lives of our children. The only way for her to make amends for the people she killed through her anti-vaccination campaign would be to use her TV show to promote good science (i.e. actual science) and proven medical treatments. Invite real scientists and doctors on the show. Have them explain to people how autism really works (not her pretend version), and how vaccines have saved billions of lives worldwide.
And that's just the first couple of weeks. Then you can start tackling other myths and urban legends that plague our society, making people afraid for no reason, and allowing charlatans and crooks to rob them blind. I want her to have Phil Plait (the famous astronomer) over to talk about astrology. Have James Randi on to talk about psychics. Invite Dr. Steven Novella to talk about the wonders of the human brain. Invite Tim Minchin so he can sing a few songs--he's a great pianist and humanist. Invite Christofer Hitchens and talk politics (he gets great ratings--so controversial!). And why not go for the gold and ask Richard Dawkins to come talk about religion? And Noam Chomsky to talk about Israel? Do you think your viewers are idiots who don't care about the rest of the world? It sure seems like you do.
Look, get real scientists and experts. Give Jenny the education she never had. This is a show I would watch. But more importantly, this is a show that might save lives.
i wonder if they'll listen.
i can't figure out why this moronic bimbo is famous. for cryin out loud, her biggest accomplishment was posing for playboy. i mean, hell, i like porn as much as the next guy, but it's not exactly a qualification for giving medical advice to people. oh wait, actually, her medical qualification is apparently being a mom.
