These racist Euros...first they go to the track without a pony and then they deny the richest woman in America a chance to splurge on worthless ****.

It can take a couple of hours for the alligators to die.

They're held down while someone bashes in their head(s) and then they're left, suffering. Some of them don't die fast enough and are skinned alive and others just kind of bleed to death.

Snakes are sometimes nailed to trees and then skinned. Alive.

Rather than go into what I think of Oprah I thought I'd just mention this.

**** her and **** anyone who buys such things.

Oh I think she is as self absorbed as it gets. I don't understand the handbag fascination in general. Strange

Yeah she is really something.

This was my favorite comment...

Why does she presume it's racism. She might just have looked cheap, fat and ugly.

yeah, poor oprah. poor, poor oprah.

i cannot imagine spending that kind of money on a purse. a purse! but then, i don't get people crazy about coach purses. i bought a purse on sale. paid 10 dollars. holds my stuff as well as something that costs hundreds, or thousands.

racism is still very much an issue..

but i feel a lot more empathy for people getting stopped and frisked because of what they look like, sentenced differently because of their race.
but oprah trying to say she experienced it, because she wasn't able to look at a very expensive purse....yeah, i'm trying. i do recall a woman in the u.k. who put up a sign at her restaurant, warning people the place was owned by a black woman. she'd had many patrons walk in, only to see her, say they were in the wrong place and leave.

Read the whole article before getting worked up about her purchasing choices. She didn't ask to buy the bag; she asked to look at it. And at the bottom of the article was this:

Quote:

Even if Oprah Winfrey had been allowed to look at the handbag, she may have thought twice before buying it.
The £24,460 bag was reportedly a crocodile-skin version of one of Jennifer Aniston’s favourite designs.
But as Miss Winfrey is a strident opponent of animal fur clothing and was named 2008 Person of The Year by animal rights group PETA, she may have felt crocodile skin was a step too far.
The TV host has occasionally worn leather belts and scarves, but crocodile skin is seen by some campaigners as being particularly cruel, given the poor treatment exotic species are often subjected to by farmers.
A spokesman for Tom Ford could not be contacted to confirm if the handbag was made of real or imitation crocodile skin.

I'm no fan of Oprah Winfrey because of her giving a platform to Jenny McCarthy and her child-killing anti-vaccination b*llsh*t, likewise her touting of Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz, both of whom are also full of crap, but in this case, I think it's a reach to accuse her of animal cruelty since all she wanted was for a salesperson to get a purse out of a display case so she could take a closer look.
