Awkward Juxtiposition

So yes I am on break and currently watching Oprah. It started with a segment on Marion Jones and than a segment on Natalie Holliway, with her mom and brother. After a short commercial she brought out the cast of "Juno." Is it me or is it in poor taiste to go from, "so what was it like when your sister/daughter was murdered?" to "Oh my God what a cute movie!!!!" while the mother/brother are sitting in the front row. Seems a little insensitive to me. Also one day Oprah is all about her weight-loss challenge and the next day she starts with a segment on Cold Stone Creamery. I am getting mixed messages. Tomorrow on Oprah: "Starving children in Africa" and "Gale King's favorite all-you-can-eat-buffet."
