I was watchin' this and was like DAYUUUM!!! Now THAT's a friggin' giveaway!!!!
Did anyone notice that there weren't hardly ANY men in the audience (probably less than 2% I bet) I guess they had the guys on stage... and not in the audience. Anyways... donation or not, that's like $7.73 million in retail value cars. Along with all the other "giveaways" (the scholarship/wardrobe that the girl got, and the paying off of the foster home for $100K + $30K repairs) them folks made out like bandits. Man... why can't I EVER be in the right place at the right time to get in on stuff like this... WHY!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't mind being Oprah's man-bitch. She's one helluva sugar momma. Too bad I would suffer greatly for it.

Did you watch the show DarkFury?
 That's a pretty good giveaway. Especially since she didn't have to pay any of it out of her pocket.

A new car would be nice but to have to sit through a an episode of her show... not sure the car is worth the cost...

 )With all the HYPE surrounding the "big announcement", I was curious... so I watched it. It's all good... but honestly, I got REAL tired of that music that they were playing everytime they gave something away. It was purely ANNOYING!!!!  Quote:

The value of the automobiles was quickly dwarfed by all the free publicity GM and the Pontiac brand received. Marketing genius!!!!
