This has to be a first — even for Oprah Winfrey.
The Canadian Foreskin Awareness Project, which opposes the practice of circumcision, plans to picket Winfrey’s appearance tomorrow in Hamilton, Ontario.
They’re peeved because Winfrey endorses an anti-aging cream called TNS Recovery Complex, which uses cells reproduced from human foreskin. “How would Oprah respond if a cream for men hit the market that was made using cells from the genitalia of little girls?” CFAP’s founder, Glen Callender, told the Toronto Star.
“I think she would be absolutely disgusted and appalled, and rightly so,” he said. “So it’s crazy that she’s doing the opposite.”
Winfrey is scheduled to appear at Copps Coliseum tomorrow for “An Evening with Oprah” — and CFAP says it will also protest her upcoming stops in Ottawa and Montreal.
