Slate: Oprah Winfrey signs deal with anti-vaccine campaigner Jenny McCarthyOn Wednesday it was announced that Oprah signed McCarthy to a deal, starting with a blog on the Oprah Web site.

Perhaps not every episode of a McCarthy show will address vaccines and autism, but some surely will.

Datapoint: Last week Oprah had a KFC coupon on her website. KFC couldn't keep up with demand. (WaitWait's comment about that today, "She could have put up a coupon for free Rabies and there woulda been demand." and "If she told everyone to run to the West Coast the continent would tilt.")
