Bill Maher recently watched Oprah Winfrey’s annual freak show known as “Oprah’s Favorite Things” and found it to be “one of the most deeply disturbing things I’ve ever seen on television.”
Maher thinks that Oprah’s “worshiping flock” should “sit down and stop losing your s**t over material stuff.”
In a special holiday video message (after the jump), the HBO host of Real Time compares Winfrey’s audience losing it over free gifts to the over-the-top and theatrical antics of swooning religious zealots.
As Maher explains:
“This is our real religion: greed. People pretend to go nuts for Jesus, but…those people at Oprah really are coming in their pants over getting 3D television sets…this is why everything in America gets sucked down a hole. Because what people really value is acquiring crap. Oprah’s show purports to be a lot about spirituality…I don’t really know what spirituality means, but I know if you’re weeping over a sweater you don’t either.”
