A Million Little Oprahs

Today is the 20th anniversary of the Oprah Winfrey Show. That's right, the show that gave us Dr. Phil, our Spirit, and something to read, aired it first national episode on September 8, 1986. You can send your complaints to the FCC.

Speaking of Oprah's Book Club. If you bought A Million Little Pieces by James Frey because you thought it was a factual memoir and not just a good read, you can get a refund from publisher Random House. If you purchased the paperback, you just have to send in the front cover. If you purchased the hardback, you must tear out page 163 and send it to Random House.

Why page 163? Here is part of the copy on page 163.

"Why are you trying to kill me?
Lincoln speaks. Quietly and calmly.
Roy?
Why are you trying to kill me?
We're not trying to kill you, Roy.
...Who is Roy?
...Are you on something, Roy?
I am not Roy!
Who are you?
My name is James Frey and I'll kill you . I'LL KILL YOU, YOU MOTHERFUCKER.
Why would you do that James?
Cause I'm a Writer. A cold blooded mercenary Writer.
James reaches into his jacket and pulls out a manuscript.
Why don't you give me the manuscript, James?
James shakes the manuscript.
This ain't no manuscript, it's a memoir. A fact based memoir!
Lincoln moves forward.
Why don't you put down the fiction, James.
Pry it from my cold dead fingers fuckface. It's a memoir! You ain't getting a fucking refund!
James. It's fiction.
I'll kill you to death till you're dead and die, you Sons of Whores. You ain't getting no refund!!!!"
