Default Oprah loves you, here's a new car

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.

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.

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.

Holy ----. That's an assload of a "donation" AND they are paying the taxes?

So what exactly did the fat bitch do?

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.
