43. Oops, they had the episode of South Park where Towelie got Oprah to endorse his book

"A Million Little Fibers" on Comedy Central tonight. The episode is a parody of Oprah when she plugged a fictitious book as reality as "book of the month" several years ago. The episode also ribbed Geraldo Rivera and his investigative reporting a la the opening of Al Capone's vault.

I'm kind of surprised that you didn't join in last night on this thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024752289

I wasn't expecting everybody to get such a hoot out of it since I was merely curious. Quite a few people got some good laughs in though so I guess that everybody needed some comic relief after all the serious and contentious threads throughout the last week.

Take care my friend--I'm going to do a quick sweep of Texas media and head to bed soon.
