OPRAH VS HERMES

Another hilarous article from Bachem Macuno, who also wrote the hysterical I FUCKED ANN COULTER IN THE ASS, HARD. As you probably know, Oprah was recently refused entry into an Hermes store in Paris and is interpreting it as racially motivated, even though the store was closed. Now I love Oprah, and I know that celebs often arrange special shopping sprees where stores are shut down/kept open for them so they can spend a fortune unimpeded by autograph hounds and the like, but if a store is closed and you haven't made those special arrangements, too bad. I don't know all of the details, but one Hermes employee explained the incident by saying that there had been trouble with North African shoppers. Oprah certainly doesn't look North African, so who knows what this is about. Hermes quickly refuted this employee's potentially racist claim, but Oprah has vowed to let Hermes have it on her new fall season.

And the Tyranny of Regular Store Hours: One Woman's Story of a Haute Couture Quasi-Lynching

The furor surrounding the refusal to admit Oprah Winfrey and her longtime companion to Hermes in Paris after store hours has escalated to the next level. "Oh, it’s on," her spokesperson was quoted as saying. "What is ‘Hermes’ French for? ‘Ku Klux Klan’?"

Hermes, which is actually French for ‘Really, Really Rich People Only,’ turned the Winfrey party away when she tried to gain entry after the close of its business day. "There should be regular people store hours, and they should enforce those as strictly as they like, but there should be anytime hours for people like Oprah and her friends. All we want is fairness."

"It’s like a metaphor for race relations in the world today. There are the people inside the impossibly high-end luxury stores, and the massively powerful Black media moguls locked outside. Oprah is striking a blow here for all the other billionaire Black women without a voice in today’s society," said Gayle King, Oprah’s best pal, travelling companion, and most intimate confidante.
