			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Daytime talk show diva <strong>Oprah Winfrey</strong> is livid over advertisements for &#8216;colon cleansing&#8217; products featuring her name without permission. Oprah Winfrey and <strong>Dr. Mehmet Oz</strong> are suing the company behind the ads for &#8220;Colon Pro Cleanse&#8221; and other products for using their names, images and voices illegally. And well they should, that&#8217;s just kind of a gross thing to have your name attached to.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4285" title="dr-oz-oprah-good" src="http://snarkfood.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dr-oz-oprah-good.jpg" alt="dr-oz-oprah-good" width="351" height="262" /></p>
<p>Oprah and Dr. Oz have also filed suit against more than 40 other companies for falsely using their names and likenesses to promote a variety of products. Many of these products contain acai berries, marketed as weight loss supplements and sexual dysfunction cures. Oprah and Dr. Oz have discussed the acai berry on Oprah&#8217;s talk show, leading skanky greed-mongers to use their commentary as an excuse to claim they endorse their products.</p>
<p>&#8220;Defendants are fabricating quotes or falsely purporting to speak in Dr. Oz&#8217;s and/or Ms. Winfrey&#8217;s voice about specific brands and products that neither of them has endorsed,&#8221; court documents state.</p>
<p>&#8220;Many Americans have seen images of me, and Oprah and others supporting, it would appear, products that actually don&#8217;t work in the ways that are described,&#8221; Dr. Mehmet Oz said in an interview with <em>Good Morning America</em>. &#8220;And more importantly, when consumers trusting us try to buy these products over the Web, what they end up getting are fake products, pills that don&#8217;t really have what&#8217;s promised in them.&#8221;</p>
<p>Lesson here? Don&#8217;t mess with Oprah, she&#8217;ll give your ass a reaming far more effective than some illicit colon cleansing product!</p>
