What Oprah Likes

I recently saw an ad selling the "Towels that Oprah likes." This is another in a long line of ads selling "what Oprah likes," including sneakers, a crossbody bag, sheets, perfume and her very favorite jeans. 

Are we all supposed to be motivated to buy something because Oprah Winfrey allegedly likes it? Especially knowing that she probably never even saw the stuff but instead signed a legal document saying they could use her name in exchange for a boatload of money?

The thing is, Oprah and I have nothing in common so who knows if I would like anything she likes anyway. Okay, fine, I'll take take one of the swimming pools at her six homes, and her yacht and some random furnishings from her $100 million mansion in California. But that's it -- my own towels work just fine.
