Latest disturbing news to cross my computer screen:
On September 25, 2007 Oprah aired a show entitled "237 Reasons to have Sex" which featured "experts" who advocated casual sex with friends, pornography, and having affairs as ways to improve relationships and marriage.

This just makes me sick. I have an idea! In order to improve relationships and intimacy in marriage, let's promote infidelity, one-night stands and media that objectifies women! Let's get as many people out there transmitting STDs not only to each other, but potentially creating an even bigger mess when it comes to paternity for new babies and passing on our sick STDs to our children. Since we don't have enough problems with addictions (food, TV, drugs, alcohol, video games, etc), let's promote porn to further that problem. Because if there's anyone out there who doesn't have an addiction, we need to find them and help them indulge their weakness. Instead of solidifying our relationships and families, let's fracture them further, because obviously having healthy, natural, monogamous relationships isn't making anyone happy and STDs and unplanned pregnancies bring so much joy. Yes, let's attack even monogamous marriages and suggest to couples' minds that aberrant sex habits are the way to solve their problems...

Sick...isn't it. I used to really enjoy Oprah, but haven't watched her much in the last few years. Her priorities are in the wrong place, in my opinion. Too bad...she unfortunately is a role model for many. She could do alot of good with her fame and fortune.
And really, she has done a lot of good! Unfortunately, she's also supported stuff like this...
I watched part of the show and got mad enough I turned it off! I like Oprah's show and it is unfortunate that someone who has done such wonderful things is so completely "off" on such a huge issue.
I happened to catch the last few minutes of the show--the 'open marriage part' and was disgusted. How sad that the family is being so brutally attacked....
I signed this petition and let all my friends know. This sort of thing makes me sick to my stomach.
