Ophra, Wonder Woman and sexism
Directly from Orange County, our correspondent Finito sent us this breakthrough news: The famous Oprah Winfrey barged full force against the kind Wonder Woman about her name and other issues. Here's an extract of the show.
"Have you ever realized how sexist it is for you to go out calling yourself Wonder 'Woman'? Couldn't you just call yourself Wonder Person? Who are you representing anyway? Woman kind or humankind?" Diana dodged the ball by saying that in her original tongue, which we assume is Greek, "Woman kind" and "humankind" were just about the same. Then added: "I'm sorry if I offended anyone. I'll talk to my publicist about a possible name change."
And then, Oprah continued. "Anyway. Is it true that most Amazons are lesbians?" Surprised by the newest question, Diana's eyes reddened and had to be comforted by Ophra's heart felt hug that brought tears to many viewers around the world. "I do understand," concluded Oprah with caring words. "By the way, are those real?," she asked pointing at Diana's breasts.
We think some of the footage got deleted because we got no answer to that.

It was like seeing an episode of Oprah :)
Are there any negotiations to make the Amazons Network with Harpo Prod.?
Not so sure at this point, but there's definitely a marketing for selling tiaras at Amazon.
.
Can anyone tell me the secret of getting dressed in a few spins.
This way I could be ready on time... for the first morning in my life!!!!!
That's stupid!
If "Wonder Woman" were "Wonder Person", Ophra will say "Why "Wonder Person? Why not "Wonder Woman"? Isn't she proud of her kind?" or something like that!
And the Amazones are not lesbians!
They reproduce by mitosis! Everybody knows that!
A few spins and the whole story might take a new turn. You're right, "Wonder Person" would strike as if she wasn't proud of her gender.
Choices, so many choices.
Beto,
The fact that the Amazones reproduce by mitosis doesn`t mean that they can´t enjoy among themselves sometimes.
Actually there`s no lesbian relation that results in reproduction... so that`s not the point
I was wondering what Whoopy thinks about this..
Wonder Whoopy, uh? On the right side bar, there's another poll where you can choose your favorite Wonder Woman and Whoopy is on the list. Go vote for her!

Muchas gracias, Dani, Jime, Marce y María Francia. Qué dicha que les está gustando. Se ha vuelto un poco adictivo, también, jeje.
Oh My Lord, why didn't I see it before. It's Nubia! the African Wonder Woman from the 70s who made a brief appearance in Wonder Woman v2 not 5 years ago. Oprah is Nubia! She's trying to take down Wonder Woman in a new way! Through the popular opinion of the public eye! She must be stopped!
Nubia does definitely ring a lot of bells? I should seek her out on the web, or you could send me an e-mail with the picture, lol. :)
I think we should do an article about that, don't you think?
