Sorry but I'm not gonna "rat" on Oprah to help Howard. You're using the same law to get someone you (I assume) don't like in trouble and morally vindicate someone you do. It would behoove us to try to get the law changed altogether rather than find other more popular ppl to point the finger at and get in trouble.
I for one kinda like the idea of Oprah being dirty...in fact it's more interesting than Howard being dirty since I expect it from him. Oprah does something that actually makes her (semi) interesting and we're gonna rake her over the coals for it to save some shock jock? If you win, all that is accomplished is Oprah watches her mouth a tiny bit more, Howard is still fined, and the law is still in place. In a way this hurts the cause by disallowing an influential person like Oprah to use this language and therefore having content like this become more mainstream. Oprah can achieve legitimacy of things currently deemed indecent or obscene more so than Howard, who is just someone we laugh at.
