1) I'm sure many of you watched the recent taping of the Oprah Winfrey Show.

Her guest was Tommy Hilfiger. On the show, she asked him if

Statements like'... 'If I'd known African-Americans, Hispanics, Jewish - ]6 w8 u% D7 V
and Asians would buy my clothes, I WOULD NOT have made them so nice. I wish these people would *NOT* buy my clothes, as they are made for upper class white people ' $ h+ p, I3 h7 I+ _$ J* F

Whereafter she immediately asked him to leave her show

My suggestion? Don't buy your next shirt or perfume from Tommy Hilfiger.

company to permit someone from the economy class to sit in the first ( o! ]+ L! Z- i
class. However, given the circumstances, the captain feels that it would be scandalous to make someone sit next to someone so disgusting.' She ; _/ `8 Q2 H7 f8 T: G
