Oprah dead - sick joke?

If this is a joke, then it's in really poor taste.
I am 99% sure it is a sick joke since I can't find any mention of it on news sites.
Anyone seen anything on TV?

Digg - Oprah Winfrey Found Dead in Home

Quote:
Oprah Winfrey, age 54, was found dead in her home residing in Chicago, Illinois at 8:21 AM on September 20, 2008. Local Police and the FBI are trying to keep it on the down low for now until further notice. From what has been reported thus far, she appears to have a bloody area around her eye, a bullet wound in her stomach and some cuts and bruises

There is nothing about it on msnbc.com, so it's crap. If it were real they would have a half page banner headline about it.

I couldn't find anything to prove this was true either. That's pretty messed up. People need hobbies.

That would have been 8 hours ago my time. I'm sure it would be all over the news sites.

Apparently it all started out with /b/ getting onto Oprah using the Anonymous slogan and saying they have 9000 penises.

After Bill O'Reilly said 4chan.org are paedophiles, on Fox, he got his website hacked and passwords of all his staff displayed on wikileaks.
I think Oprah must have said something similar.

I had the exact same thoughts. Frankly, Oprah isn't someone you want to fuck with. Whatever you think of her show, she has tons of money and quite a bit of power/influence.

A real news report would never say this.
