The Jade Goody business: a new low for Britain?

[catelover]

Totally agree with the previous posts.

What I am particularly appalled by is the reasoning that all this publicity is simply to provide a 'future' for her sons??

This attitude actually typifies Britain today, and the notion that to have a happy and fulfilled life then you have to be loaded.....I am 38, and growing up as a kid, in a working class Northern town, I was good mates with a group of brothers who lost their father at an early age (youngest brother was only 3).

Despite plenty of hardship, they were all, and still are, very sound, level headed guys, ample proof that with a LOVING environment, and not neccessarily cash, kids can develop into decent law abiding citizens.

As the previous posts suggest, this whole circus stinks to high heaven of Clifford's grubby work....Clifford being a man who would sell his own family for a quick buck.

I just pray out of all this, that the 2 kids can escape Clifford's and the scumbag media's clutches, and live a decent life with their father.

Ah so people are waking up from the matrix.

Of course its a new low. The public are being spoon fed this because women are sucking this up and we all seemn to love talking about her.

Dont believe me? Well this is another (perfectly legitmate thread) contributing to the enigma that is Jade Goody.

TV is the new religion and for better or worse, people dont realise they are part of it.

Talking about her is just perpetuating the fuel that has made her publicist see pound signs in th eopportunity of presenting her.

Now if no one talked about her and bought the Hello mags it would all go away.

Id like to see the same amount of interest in Z Day but thats far too complicated for most of the population to grasp so its back to Dominos Pizza and feeling sorry for/ ridiculing jade Goody who is making obscene amounts of cash out of us talking about her.

I cant begrudge her that...But everyone is just fueling the fire of interest even more and theres nothing you can do to stop the juggernaut now...

This was probably how Jesus Christ was invented

Now, that really would be a new low for the tabloids.

Max Clifford is simply the most verminous scumbag in the UK. He would market child abuse as long as it made him a profit.

Jade is dying of cancer. That is bad. My next door neighbour died of th Big C in August and now his wife is also terminally ill. Neither of them made fortune for their kids by parading for the cameras.

Give it 2 years and the NOTW headline will read "Jade kids ripped off by dodgy advisers and put into care, publicist Max Clifford....you get the picture".

Jade Goody has been put on a pedestal as some media figure head to cancer...Maybe it is also using her as a focus on it too.

So maybe some good will come out of it by keeping her in the public eye as a reminder of the big c given she is not exactly old

I just wish Jordan would try and jump on the bandwagon and die of cancer.

Whereas the death of Ann Marie Rogers, the Herceptin campaigner, hardly got a mention in the papers, or on the TV news.

In this sick celebrity obsessed world we live in,chavs like Goody will always get more coverage than genuine heroes.

Reminds me of someone complaining about the fact that a campaigner who`d l lost to landmines and spent twenty years protesting against them got no recognition and then along swans her royal attention whore Princess Di with her positive PR stunt off the week and everyone applauds the manipulative bitch.
