Oprah - Pontiac car Bonanza

Is she the modern day Midas ? Whatever Oprah Winfrey touches becomes gold.She holds a sway over talk show viewers across the world. The mere mention of a book in her show guarentees it sales of thousands (Anna Karaneina has suddenly become a best seller again after a favourable mention in her show).

Listen to this story.All 276 people who were part of the audience on the talk show a few days back got a GM Pontiac Car thanks to a surprise marketing campaign by GM(Holy cow!!). Apparently the hits to GM's Pontiac website have increased eight fold since the show. Read the detailed report on CNN Money.
