Oprah's New Diet May Induce Diarrhea, Headaches and Time Travel

Posted by Emily Farris

Advertisers are still promoting that superawesomemagicalmakeyouskinnyandbeautifulfast Acai Berry Diet Oprah was shilling earlier this year. And if we are to interpret one new ad as we think we're supposed to, you can add "immediate transport back to 1988" to the list of the berries' benefits. 

 

Yes, folks, we found this image on the Yahoo! News homepage today, December 28, 2008. While Oprah certainly looks good these days, we doubt she's still wearing white plastic triangle-shaped earrings.

Do advertisers really think we're this stupid? Or were they just too cheap to pay for any image that hadn't been retired to the public domain? Even Oprah's beloved Dr. Oz said earlier this month that the superfood might not be so super after all.
