She wasn't handed her wealth on a silver platter, she started out as nobody and worked hard, and as always in show business, there was a little luck involved. But it's RARE to find someone so willing to give back. And while I'm sure Pontiac was in on it to some degree, I wouldn't be so quick to call it JUST advertising... or was the $130,000 she gave to a family that's raising foster kids advertising too? How about the 4 year college scholorship and makeover she gave to the homeless girl that grew up in foster homes? I suppose that was all about advertising too huh?
Can someone not do great things without some people having to ridicule tham for it?
And the audience members were chosen because their friends or family had writen to the show at one point or another about how bad they needed a new car... again... go read some of the articles about this before you go assuming negative crap.

...The cars, which retail for $28,000, were donated by Pontiac.
"A little idea grew into a big idea," Mary Henige of Pontiac told The Associated Press.
She added that Pontiac will pay for the taxes and the customizing of the cars.

Turns out that the cars Oprah gave away were not new G6s after all. In fact, they weren't even new cars!
This classic Beetle even came with an old man. Or a dead guy - it's hard to tell.

I wonder how many of those audience members are actually going to keep and utilize their G6s. I bet a lot of them are trading them in at their local Pontiac dealerships as we speak.
G6 totally equal Mod $$$! That's what I'd do! Or use that money and go buy myself something else that's at least decent.
