I applaud him. But I still had no idea he dated Oprah.

[decay]

where does it say he dated Oprah... did I miss something?

or is it a joke because his wife is a heavyset black woman?

[Mini 9]

As far as I know it was not referenced in any of those links.
I was surprised to hear that he dated Oprah, from what was another source.

It is listed in the wiki

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Ebert

He has been friends with, and at one time dated, Oprah Winfrey,

I gather my info/news from many/hours of sources a day. Sorry I can't go back and recall. Likely a podcast.

Fail.

He talks like he is giving a movie review (esp. his own DVDs with movie reviews on them.. which is where the voice software company pulled his voice from).
