Uh...she does it on camera because she's a talk show host. She stays on the air year after year because she brings in ratings. This was a publicity move, pure and simple, but her heart is in the right place. She does plenty of charitable work off-camera. I see nothing wrong with her doing this on television.

Sorry, I just find absolutely no room for cynicism in this story. Not one iota. She figured out a way to not only get a shitload of publicity for her and for Pontiac, but she made hundreds of people happy while doing it. I think she's fuckin' awesome.

I watched the clip from her show that summarized the whole thing. I was grinning from ear to ear. How could you not?

Clip can be seen here.
