The Million Little Pieces controversy has me re-evaluating every single Oprah book recommendation...


Hey. After this mess, you never know.

Maya Angelou may have not been 100% on why exactly the birds, in fact, sing. Or she may have only thought she saw them sing, but it was a cruel joke by one of her college friends ("That Maya, man. She's always birdwatching. Waiting. Let's trip her out with some Disney animatronic shit!!"). Or she may have really seen them sing, but they weren't actually caged, at least not in the literal sense. But, again, you never know. Call me loco, but I'd just like to see a similar convo on "Larry King Live."

Larry: "So, you never really did see them...sing?"

Maya: "Larry, Larry! The literal truth of the book is still there. The only part that is in question is the title."

Larry: "But isn't that the theme of the book? The main point, if I may?"

Maya: "Larry, Larry. Come on. It's me. Maya."

Larry: "You've never even seen a bird, have you?"

Maya: "Again. No comment."

Larry: "Spell bird."

Maya: "No comment."

Larry: "I'm going to pretend I'm a bird and I'm going to sing. Then, for the viewers around the world watching, tell me why."

Maya: "Why don't we go to some callers."

Larry: "Tweet tweet. Tweet tweet."

Hah. That was pretty funny.

I'm having a love affair with this entry. I know I would get stoned in certain circles for saying this, but I've always found Maya Angelou to be totally overrated. I LOVE the David Alan Grier SNL where he had her shilling for Butterfinger, Fruit Loops, and Penzoil. http://snltranscripts.jt.org/96/96k.phtml

I'm reading that book now. You haven't really lived until you've driven whilst influenced and ran into a cop on the sidewalk but didnt think you killed him because you thought you saw him move.

(Whomever is the Janice Dickinson afficiando, I commend you! She slays me...in a good way. Just finished reading her autobiography "No Lifeguard on Duty" and I couldn't put it down.)

Hahahaha, I love deadpan for saying that. But even more so I love you for this post! :)

I agree with Deadpan about the Bible. How do we really know how "new" the New Testament really was?

Wait. You're not dead again, are you?

My question is, how has Dr. Phil managed to avoid becoming embroiled in this falsified-Oprah-book controversy. No one's hawked more made-up nonsense in book form on Oprah's show than that tubby doofus with the cop moustache.

Yup definitely the funniest thing I've read all week.
