Oprah loves you, here's a new car
 
http://www.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/TV/0....ap/index.html

I'm sure there will be some of you who say, "---- that, it's a Pontiac, blah blah blah.." but I can't remember the last time I got a $30,000 present. :o

I heard about that on the radio today. That's ------- crazy.

Although, I bet she gets one hell of a tax write-off for that. :o

The cars were all donated by Pontiac. That's still... (does math real quick) a $8,280,000 donation that Pontiac gets to write off though.

In the article I read about it, it seemed as if not everyone in the audience got a free car. Only select audience members did and it was only like 10 free cars handed out. Still pretty generous for a big company but not like $8,000,000 generous.

Nah... she asked 11 audience members to come up on stage and as a surprise, she gave them cars. Then she passed out little boxes to everyone in the audience. She said, in one of those boxes, there's a key to the 12th car so everybody opened the boxes... and they all had keys. Oprah was jumping up and down, yelling "everybody gets a car! everybody gets a car!" Look at the article; she gave away 276 cars. She led them all outside and they were all there, with red bows on top. $28,000 each, and Pontiac will also pay their taxes and customizations... that's about $30,000 a car. Times 276=$8,280,000

damn for 8 million dollars, I guess oprah is now Pontiac's corprate -----.

"She added that Pontiac will pay for the taxes and the customizing of the cars"

I believe that turbocharging would fall under the "customizing of the cars" part of that statement !!! I'd have to ask for AT LEAST the GTP motor !!!

In all realness, pontiac will get there money back by charging the people to fix those POS every 10K miles, hehe..

My favorite is the $85 radiator flushes !!! drane radiator, add coolant, $85 please !!! Or "pay up sucker".

Re:Oprah loves you, here's a new car
 
that's awesome man, the audience was picked by their need for a new car, they prolly had to fill out some random questionaire when the sent off for tickets to the show, so the people actually needed the cars bad, not just some rich person sitting in the audience like "oh boy, another car" :-\ i think that's awesome of her and pontiac. also quoted from the article.

"Thursday, Winfrey surprised a 20-year-old girl who had spent years in foster care and homeless shelters with a four-year college scholarship, a makeover and $10,000 in clothes. And a family with eight foster children who were going to be kicked out of their house were given $130,000 to buy and repair the home."

i think that's awesome of her to be sharing her wealth and using her power to get other wealthy people/company's to be generous like that and help out the needy. to those company's that loss was nothing, but to each of those people, it meant the world. if seeing the good in that makes you a fag, then i guess i'm gay as hell. :-\

don't worry kevin you the most lovable gay boy on this site :D :-*


No but kev brings up some really good points, to oprah a 30,ooo car is a valet tip, but to the audience it meant the world. Now that's some rela ----. She may be an old melted bag of M&M's but she does a whole lotta good. And to Ravage, even though she's melted, it's the sweetest bag of M&M's he's ever tasted :D

Bill Gates is in the history book as being the biggest philantropist in world history. (read: donates the most money to charity and organizations of anyone, ever) You just don't hear about it much.

The reason he donates so much is b/c he makes so much, the more he donates, the bigger the tax break.
Smart those pesky rich people are...
