Dream Theater: Let Them Eat Cake!

Oprah Winfrey was hosting a televised song-and-dance spectacular dedicated to getting Americans to eat more cake.

The irony of this wasn't lost on me.

That being said, however, I have to admit I was impressed with Oprah's performance. She was singing and dancing and changing in and out of fabulous costumes like she'd been tutored by Beyonce herself. Which may indeed have been the case.

But as I watched this all from home, as more and more celebrities took to the stage to encourage greater cake consumption among ordinary people, I found myself growing more and more furious.

Didn't they see the irony in all of this? Weren't they the least bit concerned about how this multimillion dollar television special might be received by the rest of us? Were they that out of touch?

I decided I was going to write a blog post about it, and put it up right here. I was going to take them all down, Onion-style.

Several headline ideas had already occurred to me. Among them: 

"Wealthy Assholes Demand You Spend More Money on Cake."

"Celebrities Solve World Crises With More Cake."

"1% Says More Cake is Key to 99%'s Happiness."
