Having already destroyed the credibility of the New York Times Bestsellers List and the entire field of psychiatry would be enough for a normal human being. Oprah is no mere human being.
The reigning champ of daytime talk television — a huge feat considering competition like Maury Povich, Montel Williams and Judge Judy — has decided everyone else has had enough spotlight time on Twitter: it’s time to read to 140 characters of Harpo, girlfriend!
Up until recently, Twitter was the place for the non-Oprah-sized ego. You know, the kind of place where Felicia Day or even Wil Weaton is an A-list celebrity, not a woman who is featured on the cover of a magazine bearing her name every month.
To be honest, with Oprah’s self-importance joining the jacuzzi with Ashton Kutcher, we’re not sure how the site will manage to hold together.
Now, if you’ll excuse us, we have to tweet about our latest trip to the DMV.
