Neeeever heard of it. The only Oprah furor I couldn't avoid hearing about was the one where she said Mad Cow Disease made her scared to eat beef, and a bunch of ranchers got all up in arms about it. Now, that's just ridiculous, blaming a talk show host for declining sales during a beef plague scare!
