Oprah's Favorite Thing Or Symptom Of Clinical Depression?
Last week, Oprah unveiled her annual list of her Favorite Things™, an assortment of gifts that are either ugly, useless, obscenely expensive, just plain dumb, or all four, that loyal Oprah-watchers can purchase from her website, or obtain simply by wishing hard enough (according to The Secret).
Of course, this list is no ordinary list. Its roots go very deep into the collective subconscious of both Oprah and her fans. In fact, much like Dark Side Of The Moon allegedly synchs up with The Wizard Of Oz, nearly everything on Oprah's Favorite Things™ list neatly matches up with the symptoms of clinical depression.
Take a look:
Symptom: Loss of interest in normal daily activities and a depressed mood.
Oprah's Favorite Thing: Terrible Ugg boots crocheted from pure sadness.
It's the perfect shoe for shuffling around your house as your mood decends like a deep, black cloud.
Symptom: Sleep disturbances.
Oprah's Favorite Thing: A wicker basket full of expensive cleaning products.
Make all that extra time you have thanks to chronic insomnia useful: clean the house obsessively!
