The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns

Apparently, Oprah and her book of the whatever club has been duped.

Last October, Oprah had a book called, A Million Little Pieces by James Frey that she was promoting to her club and to her audience.

The book was pushed as a nonfiction, but as it turns out, it was full of deception and manipulation of facts.

The con was so unnoticed that the Oprah episode was titled "The Man Who Kept Oprah Awake At Night" and much of her crew went unaware, as well.

Oprah stated on the episode,

"[it's] like nothing you've ever read before. Everybody at Harpo is reading it. When we were staying up late at night reading it, we'd come in the next morning saying, 'What page are you on?'"

"I'm crying 'cause these are all my Harpo family so, and we all loved the book so much."

Perhaps this is just a repercussion of her seemingly nasty behaviour. It's coming back to her in some not-so-subtle ways.

As a result of Oprah's lack of investigating, Frey's book remained on the best seller's list for the last 15 weeks and has raised millions of $.

I guess Frey's book will have to be moved from the nonfiction section to the fiction shelf, but I'm sure with the bucks he's made, he doesn't care too darn much.
