Screw Hermes

So, if you're a loaded celebrity, and you need to "pop in for a moment to purchase a watch" from a store for another loaded celebrity, apparently you can't do it at Hermes. No, PR is more more important.

Is this racial? Maybe. Does Oprah need to cool off and stop thinking she's so special, and that she can enter stores after hours? No. How many times do we see on VH1's The Fabulous Life of... about stores making special arrangements to accomodate celebrities? Why is Oprah any different?

Now granted I don't know how Oprah's demeanor was at the time, but I'm sure she was no more bitchy and demanding as Cher and Barbra Streisand. So I don't blame her for not shopping at the store again. And if I could even afford their overpriced crap, you'd better believe I wouldn't buy from them anymore.

You hear that, Hermes? Money I don't even have, I'm not willing to spend on your shit. Screw you!

I'm sure it's hard for her to keep her head on earth because she's incredibly successful and everyone kisses up to her. Even "normal" humans get mad when a store is closed and they can't go in, so imagine the Oprah god encountering that. The store screwed up, though, because they didn't recognize her greatness or bow and scrape properly.

Bowing and scraping? Too funny.

And how much more public relations can Oprah be? This woman is walking profits and publicity. Just let her mention your product, and you're an instant millionaire.

And that whole North African thing is just ridiculous! Oprah and the majority of African-Americans are of West African descent, and look likewise. North Africans look more like David Blaine. Anyway.
