A good Friend of Unfair Park who was out at the State Fair of Texas today sends word: OMFG, Oprah! Fried butter for everyone! Nice photo of the clusterflock at top -- especially of WFAA's Cynthia Izaguirre, who looks damned happy to be there -- but this one's the keeper.

Nice article as for me. It would be great to read something more concerning this matter.
I'm a dude and therefore don't give a shit about Oprah, but what's up with the hate hard-on for her? She has more money than god and from near as I can tell got that way by her own accord. Yeah, she looks like a retard wearing a cowboy hat, but guess what Dallas, and more broadly texas, is known internationally for? OH YEAH COWBOY HATS AND BOOTS AND JEANS AND BEATING UP QUEERS. Chill the fuck out, people.
Jack, so your point is that there are celebrities who are fatter and more hypocritical than Oprah?
Just some helpful hints. Rod.
Well she is no Sandie Patti now is she? She can't sing songs about jesus out of her mouth while her drummer's dick is up her ass and her hubby's passed out in the tour bus........now that's some fried butter
Wow Toots how do you get off dropping the "B" word on me? If your an Oprah lover just say so.
<i>So here I stand, 40 pounds heavier than I was in 2006. (Yes, you're adding correctly; that means the dreaded 2-0-0.) I'm mad at myself. I'm embarrassed. I can't believe that after all these years, all the things I know how to do, I'm still talking about my weight. I look at my thinner self and think, "How did I let this happen again?"</i> "Oprah's Battle With Weight Gain," Jan 2009 O Magazine http://www.oprah.com/article/omagazine/200901_omag_oprah_weight
I was there and it was fun - while she was trying the fried butter I was yelling "Abel!" as everyone else was yelling "Oprah!" OK I got a few strange looks but I like those. You have to admit that East Dallasite and Wildcat Abel Gonzales, Jr. is a marketing genius and has attracted world-wide attention to our fair. And Oprah said she liked it better than anything else she tried at the fair. Hence the huge lines later (in the rain) for fried butter. As for the cost for Oprah's security, "The Oprah Effect" will more than pay for that. The Fair was packed yesterday despite inclement weather.
Coming up next, Oprah is at the fair eating fried butter, and she's dressed like a lesbian, i mean a lesbian, i mean a cowgirl.
I just want to know if she also developed a drawl and started saying things like, "I reckon I'm fixing to git me some fried butter!"
Trainer, it is in fact possible to enjoy the pleasures of bacon without turning into a big fat-ass like Oprah.
Oprah in a cowboy hat? Where were the fringed chaps and buckskin jacket?
Jesus Rod, settle down. You could have taken your son somewhere else and come back. Be a good example for your boy, not a whiney bitch.
Oprah preys on the weak minded women. My kid could not even get near a water shooting game he wanted play, that he actually won at last year (giant Pokemon) because the large hatted one and her minions were amassed around the game. How much money has this cow made from diet book cowriting/hawking? LOOK AT HER HIPS. Women this is like taking conflict resolution classes from Pol Pot. It started raining right after we saw the messiah's mentor. At least God was also pissed off to see her in Texas.
Presumably, the next cover of O magazine will have a glamour shot of Oprah in a cowboy hat. Lookin' fun. Lookin' sassy. But still not lookin' especially pretty. Still, who's ever seen enough glamour shots of Oprah while waiting in line to buy their God damned ground beef, dog food and Lagunitas IPA? Not me. Oh, nosir -- not me.
ROB's Trainer FTW!
I was at the fair this weekend and saw someone eating the fried butter. All I have to say is, no thank you.
Look in the mirror buddy. Where have you been?
That keeper picture looks more like a jinx to me.
How much did we taxpayers pay for this crap?
Look, she wore a cowboy hat because she's in Texas. I'm off to feed the cows and repair the fence on the back forty.
when Alice Cooper gets here, everybody will forget about Oprah.
I just hope that fried butter helped her with her "thyroid problem" and her "dopamine deficiency."
You know....she is EVERY woman! Not everyone can say that.
I called it... http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/unfairpark/2009/10/if_youre_not_an_oprah_winfrey.php#comment-4715974
I was at the Fair today and the scene was bizarro. I was unaware the O would be there, but I knew something was up when a helicopter circled over the fair for at least 90 minutes and I heard screams as a mob scene moved toward a western wear store near the Cotton Bowl. Hencem the big brown hat. "Why is the store cordoned off," I asked a bystander. "It's Oprah and Gayle," she said. "Who's Gayle," I asked. She looked at me like I had a turd on my nose. Later, I was walking near Big Tex and a whole block was baracaded as O, her entourage, cameras and her min-motorcade was being escorted by police on horseback and followed by crowd of at least 2,000. Reality check. Has the woman saved humanity and I just don't know it or are we Americans starved for heroes?
