I Have to Give Oprah Some Credit

While I was unaware of this in advance (darn, my RSS feed from Oprah.com must be broken!), Oprah had some big event the other night that encouraged lemmings to come to her website.

Well, I guess traffic was so overwhelming that her servers crashed.

But kudos to the woman who puts the O in narcissism.

Rather than playing the card that political campaigns will take in considering overflow rooms at events a virtue (rather than poor planning on their part) or meteorologists who tell us that storms "came late" or "decided to miss us" (rather than bad prediction on their part), Harpo Productions put out a press release apologizing and taking full responsibility for the error.

We will resume complaining about her at the nearest opportunity, but for now she gets the responsible PR smiley face for the day.
