Oprah's at it again
 
But I really like this one...too bad its only something the motorcycle community has been saying since cell phones became super affordable for everyone.

And of course since she is speaking out about it, everyone will do it...

not bad...its just something that a lot of people in the biker community in the states and especially here in FL (where the kids get their learner permits at 15) have been saying for the longest time needs to be dealt with. But now that Oprah is speaking out, her drones will listen, and follow everything she says. So finally idiot women and most of them are women will hang up their phones and drive a little less distracted.

While I agree with the no driving and talking thing, here in NJ I have noticed more people talking on their phones and driving since the law was passed. Now cops have another reason to pull you over and say "oh I thought you were talkin on your phone" then they run your plates and hope for a warrant. I can think of a few people that have been pulled over because of it.

I don't care if it's Oprah or someone else as long as the message gets out...

BobTheBiker 02-04-2010 04:41 AM

at least someone is getting the message out. oprah may be an obnoxious fuckwit, BUT people listen to her for some moronic reason, so this could go well for our community as a whole.

Good point.

wildchild 02-04-2010 08:35 AM

i think some people think she is the queen of america.

bet you could find at least 10 who think she is the first lady. you don't become that successful by not being relevant to someone.

CrazyKell 02-04-2010 08:37 AM

Ya, Oprah really cares what you guys think. She's laughing.....all the way to the bank! ;)

I love to see all the hate that sprouts up when Oprah comes up. You realize, of course, Oprah is smarter, more powerful, and wealthier than everyone posting in this thread combined right?

askmrjesus 02-04-2010 09:12 AM

Does this apply to all cars, or just the ones Oprah gave away?

So I don't get it. She is doing things that are good for everyone's safety, especially motorcyclists, and a bunch of douchebags on here are putting it down to look internet tough?

Just checking.

I think people are pissed because common sense would say not to use a cell phone while driving and that it takes someone like Oprah to bring it to the forefront

Maybe not....studies are showing that cell phone driving laws are having 0 effect on motor vehicle collisions.

Yep. Our state House just passed a ban. No idea if or when the state Senate will take it up.

Cell phone driving laws but not using a cell phone while driving. There have been plenty studies done that show using a cell phone while driving affects response time. And it's just common sense - when you're multi-tasking, you can't pay 100% attention to either activity.

Correct. But there has been no reduction in crashes since these laws have been put on the books.

They've passed a couple laws here (hands free only, no texting while driving), but I haven't seen it impact behavior at all.

Yea, Texas just passed a law this year that says you can't talk on the cell phone in school zones. So I just be sure to keep an eye out for cops when I talk on the phone in school zones. If I see one I just drop the phone and yell, "SCHOOL ZONE", and then pick it up after I pass through.

I can't imagine the laws are going to have much of an effect on people's behaviors, and as mentioned, its just another excuse for Police to stop you and fuck up your day.

Reminds me of how Otto (Kevin Kline) yells "ASSHOLE" when he's driving in A Fish Called Wanda!

No, I did concede the last two. But, I guarantee you that 90% of the people are as smart or smarter.

Then why aren't they as successful? Unless you don't consider owning the American female population as being successful of course.

She's not stupid, but I wouldn't call her "of extraordinary intelligence"...but then again, I dont know her either.

Let me ask you, could Oprah do the emergency medicine you used to do? Could she do what Tommy does? Could she design cities like Caster does? Could she design electronic fuel injection like 101 does? Could she match ed as an electrical engineer?

I'm not saying the lady is not smart. But, success alone isn't a measure of intelligence. Allow me to prove it to you.

Well, building an empire is quite a bit different than being an actor or naturally gifted athlete as far as intelligent quotient is concerned. Could she do those things? Maybe, maybe not. Intelligence can be incredibly focused. Troy may be a city designing genius...but he may not be able to program his own DVR for example.

Yes, I believe Oprah is incredibly intelligent based on her unequaled success and gosh...she's just so well spoken. Its one thing to say, "Well, I know someone who worked for Oprah and she's a tyrannical bitch." Or "I knew a guy that used to fuck Oprah and she's a dirty whore in bed." But to call her stupid, IMO, is not an accurate judgment based on what we know about her as the general public.

I also don't believe many celebrities as nearly as stupid as they want us to believe. For example, Jessica Simpson. Maybe she is a really ditzy blonde...or maybe she just plays off that to make shit loads of cash so she can buy yachts and stuff, which seems more likely since she is actually incredibly rich.

Damn link won't load up.

Either way there is nothing Oprah can ever do that'll let me forgive her for Dr. Phil. I want to do a burnout on her face then kick Dr Phil in his removed testicles.

Thank you! See, there's a legitimate Oprah complaint!
