Upvoted, but is anyone else confused about what the Oprah Clap Pitch is?
(Edit 2010/03/17: It was eventually renamed The Heartfelt Pitch.)
If others find it confusing, we should rename it, change it, or get rid of it. If a pitch is not obvious to Less Wrong readers who are incredibly familiar with argument fallacies etc., it's not going to be obvious to anyone.
It maps to the Appeal to Emotion and Wishful Thinking:
