Jerry Seinfeld's Wife Gives Oprah A Present; Yet More Proof That They Are Not Like Us
 
I don't watch Oprah, but here's a story I could not pass up.
I guess Jessica Seinfeld, wife of cereal-loving Jerry Seinfeld, was on Oprah's chatfest to promote her new cookbook. A week later, it is a best-seller. Jessica is insanely grateful, so she gifts Oprah with a little thank-you present.
Fast forward to yesterday. Jerry was on the show to promote his new movie, Bee Movie, and Oprah showed just what his wife had sent as a thanks-for-promoting-my-cookbook-on-your-show gift:
Jessica sent Oprah 21 pairs of shoes. From the shot that goes across the screen, the majority were Christian Louboutin kicks, which retail for $800-$1200 a pair. Just a $16,000-$20,000 thank you, from one multi-millionaire couple to their billionaire friend.
Like Oprah needs more shoes. She has more shoes than she'll ever wear. She has more shoes than Chicago will ever wear. And in the unlikely event that she should need new shoes, she has enough lettuce to go out and get her own. How much you wanna bet those shoes will never even get worn?
Do you know how much good that $16,000-$20,000 could have done at a homeless shelter, a VA hospital, a home for abused women and children, a drug rehab treatment center, a no-kill shelter for pets? There are children going without coats this winter in Chicago, do you know how many winter coats that sort of bacon can buy? Do you know how many care packages that could have sent to our troops in Iraq and around the world?
Forget buying shoes for Oprah...how about buying shoes for the homeless, for the elderly in nursing homes, for children who don't have any? I'm sure Chicago is full of people who could use new shoes a lot more than Oprah. Why not make a donation to a charity in Oprah's name?  Jessica could have done a lot more good with her cheddar than this empty-headed gesture.
