Chimp Mauling Victim To Appear On Oprah

2009_11_cnash.jpg On tomorrow's episode of Oprah, the woman who was severely mauled by a 200-pound chimp will appear and discuss "how she's adjusting, how she maintains her spirit, and what the future holds." Charlas Nash has been recovering at the Cleveland Clinic ever since the March incident where she "lost her nose, lips, eyelids, hands and bone structure in her mid-face and suffered significant brain, eye and tissue injuries in the attack." Back in June, her brothers said she was staying strong; more recently, her family has sued the chimp's owner and is planning on suing the state of Connecticut.

Gotta pay for her medical bills somehow.

i'm sure this will be yet another compelling and socially valuable episode of Overlord Oprah.

Ah Orpah. The desensitizer of all things serious.
"I'm so sorry a monkey mauled your face, but I have some AWESOME guests coming up...and everyone in the audience will get A NEW KINDLE!"

Material and ingenuine generosity. :)

"Look under your chairs! You get a chimpanzee! You get a chimpanzee! You get a chimpanzee!"

I just hope someone on that show will be able to control the erratic 250 lb beast interviewing Nash.

AHH! I thought she died?!?!?!?
