I don't mean, not go, I mean not watch at home. Get people who tune in everyday to NOT tune it, then the ratings go down for those days and that's lost money.

Oprah is considered to be THE most powerful woman in media.
Piss her off, and anon loses. Period.

Sh's not going to understand all of this, and my guess is, that she won't take the time to try to understand either.

I realize that this sounds like a good idea, but there is MAJOR risk involved.
More than any other protest there is a huge chance that any or all people will be arrested.
Her and her show are VERY protected.

Oprah is considered the pride of Chicago, people LOVE her here, she can do no wrong.
Tread lightly on this one.

QFT

For Chicago anons, before you decide a flier is good enough to print, post it here, post it on your boards (if you have a board), post it everywhere and get FEEDBACK! This needs to be perfect for many reasons. This can work amazingly in our favor if we do it right, or we can make enemies with Oprah, which will suck big time.

Also, I'm not sure about masks at this situation. I mean, OSA will probably be there to keep an eye on Tom, but I worry about scaring off the Oprah crowd, which is who we are targeting here. I guess that's up to you, Chicago Anons, but that's my opinion at least. Maybe a kinder, friendlier mask? I don't know. Huge sun glasses and a wig?

Good luck guys.

Above have points.

Oprah reduces bored housewives to mindless slaves with her terrible lines of fashion, which she gets all excited about, and her hunky friends, which she gets all excited about, and her inability to get Stedman to propose, which she gets all excited about. And they get excited about whatever she gets excited about.

Oprah knows what's going on. She's no idiot. She has voluntarily decided to help TC boost his image. We know who's side she's on. The real trick is to get the public to know it, too, so she has to make a choice to save face.
Oprah backs Scientologists-Scientologists back child abuse-Oprah backs child abuse. Simple message, get it across.

Here's something everyone can do.............
go to Oprah.com - then Message Boards - then under 'Message Board Categories' chose either 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' or 'Celebrities' - keep going and you'll find a few threads about this. There are very few posts right now but if her boards were to become full of posts protesting Cruise's appearance it would at least send a message. Be polite and don't post any links or you'll be deleted.

put scientology in the search under the message boards. I have a few comments in there, I havn't checked them lately. Looks like a few other anons have responded, too. Make it a MEGATHREAD!

Oprah is a talk show host, Oprah does what gets Oprah ratings.

You reasoning is ridiculous.

Hey, did we ever get that Bavarian ministry book translated? I want to put together a media pack with:

Gold Info Pack
small Bavarian ministry release
the full book (both in english)
jason beghe interview transcript
marc ? interview transcript

anything else?

ET had a little blurb with Oprah about this tonight. Showed Oprah and Tom sitting on his couch talking. She asked him is he felt unfairly criticized, he looked pained. Showed he and Katie walking hand in hand and Oprah riding behind him on his ATV. I imagine this is going to go on allll week on ET.

It looks like Scilons are on the Oprah boards too. I can't help but notice that a lot of the rabid pro-tom (and anti-psychiatry lol) posts are from accounts made in the past two days.

Edit: Oprah.com is being preempted for a live webcast wtf.

Edit: vv lol vv

I just posted a massively great post and the site got pre-empted for her alternative cult class. Sheesh.

Grrr. YOu can't get to the Oprah boards cause the site is being preempted right now with her other cult. >:(

She had no problem going after the beef industry. I dont think Im being ridiculous. She's an icon . She pretends to stand for truth and justice and helping the unfortunate. Let her put her actions where her mouth is.

I wonder if Oprah wonders how most of the general public feels about Scn. She's so....isolated in her own little mega star, mega rich world. I bet she doesn't really know.

I mean, this is the woman who was genuinely shocked that everyone in her audience didn't change their sheets EVERY SINGLE DAY. She's very disconnected from the rest of us.

There is no way that Oprah is not aware of Jenna M. Hill, the claims against scientology, the Tom Cruise video and the many protests carried out by Anonymous. She keeps her ears open and has staff who are paid to keep their ears open, read up on the buzz issues and bring them to her attention. We are not talking about her missing the South Park episode here. She knows what is out there about scientology, she simply refuses to engage, discuss or debate these things. Any questions about scientology that she asks Cruise shows that she is well aware of what is happening. This is a woman who runs an empire based on talking about the things that are happening to individuals, groups of people all over the world and people think she is uninformed and needs to be educated? She simply doesn't want to go there. Not every public face who schleps with Cruise or other scientologists is uninformed, sometimes, they just don't give a hoot.

Look for her to have a guest from the FLDS once things die down since she knows no celebrity that she would prefer not to put on the spot.

It is all about what will bring her ratings, give her show column inches. Like the other publications, if the story on scientology doesn't include a story on Tom Cruise then it gets very little attention.

/b/lackup is coming when oprah.com gets back online!
