If there’s one thing that Oprah has been known for in her long and storied career, it’s the fact that she’s made generosity pretty much synonymous with her name.
For over twenty years, Oprah has floated above us like an angel, deciding us to gift us with her presence, her audience with new cars and ridiculous things, and her friends with editorial positions that they may or may not deserve. And now she’s decided to gift her entire audience, filled with hundreds of people, with a free trip to Australia.
Okay, maybe not hundreds of people. But enough that the Australian taxpayers will be footing the bill to the tune of three million dollars because they think that it’ll bring enough publicity to their island that it can be written off as a tourism expense.
That’s how money Oprah is. She decides to take her audience all around the world, and THE COUNTRIES SHE GOES TO have to foot the bill. She announced the flight on her show with a dramatic entrance by John Travolta – hopefully to try to distract the tabloids from running stories about him.
I don’t know who thought of Australia as a terrible travel destination – but if Oprah going there and taping the whole thing makes them change their mind, I hope they’re bitten by a tiger snake.
