Now, I know I'm a little late on this, but as some of you may know Wednesday's episode of Oprah was a tribute to Michael Jackson. Rather than just re-airing her entire 1993 interview with him from Neverland Ranch, she decided to fill the show with what felt like 20 solid minutes of her reflecting on the experience of interviewing him. In theory, this might have sounded like a pretty good idea, but instead she just rambled on about thoughts I don't believe she really had and seemed to suggest that if she had reached out to him she could have done something to save him.
That's not what I'm making this post to complain about though. Did you notice something a little odd in that screen cap up there? No? Let me make it a little more obvious for you:
No, that's not an especially furry couch cushion, it's a dog. A dog that spent her segment sleeping in various positions and looking a whole lot like it was dead. It was more fun trying to see if the dog was breathing that it was listening to anything Oprah had to say. Eventually it moved around a bit, starting out on her lap with its nose in her crotch. I don't understand how anyone didn't think to move the dog from the couch at that point. Then slowly moved from shot to shot to the left of the frame and eventually disappeared. Fucking distracting.
The dog basically stole the show, since Oprah spent her time blathering on about how she could see Michael's veins and cut out some essential bits of the interview. You know, like the part when she awkwardly jams to Michael beat boxing and singing "Who Is It" acapella:
Or whenever this happened:
