Planned Parenthood's media team sent a 2013 holiday card to media types that contains chocolate condoms, emergency contraception, and birth control (pictured, probably with my drool on it). Needless to say, Planned Parenthood is ***flawless.

@mamabigdog: One of my sister's close friends was in the audience for today's surprise part 2 show. She and her husband have adopted 3 children - at least one was born addicted to drugs - and she went on to became an adoption advocate/social worker. One of her clients nominated her to go to the Oprah show. So if

@mamabigdog: Completely agreed. I don't begrudge those people their massive hauls. And if they're as selfless as has been implied, I'm betting many of them won't even keep all that loot for themselves.

You know what, if it's true that this audience was filled with people who work in their communities doing cancer support groups, HIV/AIDS support, community volunteers of all kinds, then I'll bet many of them never get the recognition or compensation they truly deserve. This is one small way the universe says Way To

I couldn't quite figure out what was disturbing me the first time I watched the video, so I started watching it a second time and realized it: When the audience is screaming and Oprah keeps saying, "Oh, yeah.... oh, yeah...." it sounds like the tempo and rhythm of sex talk. "Oh, yeah... oh, yeah... sooo good!" It's

@SorciaMacnasty: Any time, my friend. Any time. In fact, how 'bout right now? Here's another of my favorite Prince happy dance gifs.

@Diziet_Sma: Have you read David Foster Wallace's essay, "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again"? It captures this perfectly.

I'm tempted to make fun, but won't, because, really...who am I kidding? If I had been there, I'd have totally been doing my best impression of the Purple One over the free lasagna pan.

Well, now I know what Beatlemania would look like if all of the teenage hormones involved were replaced with estrogen pills.

The crowd shots, Oprah's terrifyingly gruff ho-ho-ho-ing, and her awkwardly-like-sex-sounds oh-yeahing in the first 45 seconds or so are like the best SNL skit that never was.

@Buggie: I don't think I'd be able to light a candle that cost that much. I'd probably just put it in front of a lamp and hope it fooled people

@CalliopeRagbag: I'd be pretty excited about an emergency survival kit, since it's something I need but never want to spend the money on. But you're right—probably not THIS excited.

@pamplemousse: I was just having a long thought-conversation with myself about this. It seems to me like it actually may be one of the few core things about herself that she's retained—she genuinely loves being able to give, which is truly great. But I do think she's inadvertently led the rest of us down a murky

@FattyFatty2by4: A lasagna pan seems pretty useful. You can make lasagna with it.

@Porpoise Spit will accept money for learning: Well, it's hard to get good TV out of "Everyone gets an emergency survival kit stocked with space blankets, food rations, and bottled waters! And that's not all! You also get warm socks and a free diabetes screening!"

@pamplemousse: I agree. I love giving people shit now and I have no money.

@Penny: Yes, the audience members were hand selected. Many were people involved in local and global community service initiatives. Also, there were some audience members who were there because they are "Ultimate Viewers" (I don't know how that works, that's just what Oprah called them).

I know its all so materialistic, but I think its nice that Oprah gets joy out of giving people stuff. I think I'd be the same way if I had more money than God.

Now playing

That is SO exactly like the SNL skit that it's scary.
