This year, Oprah's canceling her 'Favorite Things' episode and will give us the gift of Barack Obama instead. As if he's going to make 200 women fly into simultaneous orgasms. We demand to be lavished with exuberant materialism!

Online video producer Tim Street has been keeping an eye on the podcast rankings over at the iTunes Music Store, and guess who has ruled supreme the last few weeks? Oprah. That's right, the queen of daytime television who also happens to have the book publishing industry by its collective short and curlies now rules the world of podcasting. So much for the democritization of media. The video and audio spots are part of Oprah's effort to help sell Eckhart Tolle's latest book, A New Earth, which promises to solve the world's problems through a "spiritual awakening" — and make Tolle a mint. Street suggests a number of ways you can find your own niche producing content for online distribution in a media world dominated by the cult of Oprah. My suggestion? Accuse Oprah of being a false prophet! That's what garnered some crazy christians 2.8 million views on YouTube in the last two weeks. The battle for your immortal soul explained after the jump.
