    Free Car for Everyone

    http://www.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/TV/0....ap/index.html

    In a nutshell:

    Oprah gave away 276 cars to the public in her program. 276 Brand new Pontiac G6s.

    "The cars, which retail for $28,000, were donated by Pontiac."

    "Everybody gets a car! Everybody gets a car! Everybody gets a car!" Winfrey yelled as she jumped up and down on the stage.

    Oprah always gives stuff away, this was for her new season debut, she also gave a girl whod been in orphanges and foster care all her life a 4 year college scholarship and a family with 8 foster kids who were going to be kicked out of their home 150k USD to pay off their mortgage and fix the house up. Damn nice things to do if you ask me.

    No offence but that is a crock of shit. She is just doing it because she is rich (or did Pontiac provide the cars). And if you were in the audience I doubt you would turn it down.

    Pontiac also handled all the registration fees and taxes, and if the person wanted different colors/options, apparently it was provided for them- those people truly got free cars.
