Jade Goody

Started by fatboy

I know she is fading pretty quickly, but

We get this shoved down our throats daily, mostly from papers and news, and whilst she says its to secure her sons future, surely dying is a private affair, yet we’ll be having Max Clifford announcing her passing on her door step.

Now, lets forget her illness for a moment (though I wouldn’t wish it on anyone), and know her for what she really known for - someone who came out of the Big Brother house (she didn’t even win it) and got lots of press for being the most hated and then most loved, slowly turned into Paris Hilton (re; no talent but makes on her presence on the red carpet none the less), does a work out DVD, some one ghost writes her book, brings out her own perfume, add Celeb BB out roar that would’ve ended most careers, she comes back for more photo oppertunities…

Sorry, but I’ve had a guts full of all this, but did Roy Castle or Tony Wilson who both had cancer had the press attention that Jade has?

No, they both highlighted their illnesses in a smaller way. If Jade did this, then fair enough, but since she’s lived in public, she’s got Max Clifford to help her cream it.

Right, rant over.

Im fed up of seeing her photo everywhere, Its nothing against her, like Sammy says fairplay for wanting to make money for her family, its almost like shes managing to exploit societys fascination t with so called ‘celebrities’ in order to do some good.

We only have the majority of people in our culture to blame for this exploitation.

Fed up with seeing her. I know it’s tough and all that, but Clifford is just milking the Goody Money Cow. He’s probably the biggest scum bag out of this.

yes its a shames she is dying but to be honest

I AM FUCKING SICK OF IT, i dont see why a woman like her should get media coverage just because she is a thick racist bitch, also i dont think that her impending death should be shoved down our throats, i mean theres thousands of people dying as we speak why dont we put them in the front page as well?! she was a nasty piece of work to Shilpa Shetty, and she was made famous by opening her mouth the size of a basketball (maybe bigger) and saying completely dumb things like Cambridge was in London, come on even a dumber person wudve known that.

rant over

I’d hardly say shes racist, I just think due to her background she was a bit ignorant.

Thank you to you all for sharing my view.

I’m sure we’re not the only ones that share a view on this, even if there are loads of groups on Facebook that kiss her arse…yet some share the same views.

And I do wonder if some OK readers can live with themselves for buying their magazine though she is still living, which I find disgusting

I certainly agree with that last point. I was quite happily watching Heston Blumenthal when an advert came on for OK magazine - I was nearly sick. I had managed to watch Heston mince a load of frogs and sew a chicken’s arese onto a piglet, but that advert was, I think, the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen and it should be illegal to advertise like that, especially when people are still alive!

Sammy - I agree with you she should be able to make money for her kids, but to be honest I don’t think they will appreciate it - they are going to be media fodder themselves now, and probably for years. This whole thing will make it 100 times worse, and those poor little boys are going to really struggle to come to terms with losing their mum because of it. That’s not worth any amount of money.

Don’t wish it on anyone but the woman has no style , class or intelligence whatsoever to warrant any media attention in the first place , yet you can bet your dollar that when she dies she will be hailed as some sort of hero and an example to others. Jesus wept.

Besides that , using anyone’s dying predicament for financial gain is just morally wrong in my book.

This is exactly what I feel about the matter.

OK magazine only pay silly money for the exclusives because they increase the circulation of the magazine. In other words, whilst I think pretty much everyone on the WoM has the good sense to not read this garbage, there are plenty of people out there who DO want to read about Jade.

This country gets the culture it deserves, cos people keep buying into this shit.

Yep, I agree with all the comments here. It’s basically a circle of socially destructive shit - the media gives the people what the people want, the people buy it, the media peddles it more and more, more and more people want it.

If you really think about it, mankind is on a continuous downward spiral. It’s so depressing. New World Order, anyone? Is this their work? Manipulating and dumbing down the entire world through the media?

I believe I have just linked Jade Goody to the end of civilisation. She certainly represents everything that is wrong with the media and it’s power over us.

Mrs H, you brought up another point - the boys are going to have a tough time with the press. Its bad enough that they (probably) don’t understand why there are cameras following them around at present (or for most of their lives, for that matter).

Actually I think I’m probably even more disgusted with channel 4 for showing the advert at prime time than I am with OK magazine.

Dennis - Don’t you think that all the media hype plays a major part in making the ignorant masses WANT to read that kind of tripe though? I don’t think it’s all down to the media or the public, I think it’s a vicious and symbiotic circle. People are naturally nosey and curious - if we weren’t we’d still be living in caves - and if the media pump out controversial crap that gets people talking it’s human instinct to want to find out more about it, isn’t it?

yeah that’s true but at the same time when a movie magazine comes out it is the big Hollywood blockbuster that is on the cover, not the challenging and unsettling Bratislavan drama about clown murders in the 1920’s. Of course the reason some of the blockbuster become blockbuster is BECAUSE of the front page press, but it’s a kind of chicken/ egg situation - which one really comes first? Hard to say.

So, um, yeah. I am agreeing with you, is what I am TRYING to say :D

it’s a dodgy one this innit.

we all know that the media (in particular the red tops and their associated rags) are scumbags. this is hardly news at all. and of course jade is as thick is shit. this goes without saying.
but in her own way i can see why she is doing this. to make money for her kids. simples. and also, if one young girl (some of them seem to see jade as a role model, don’t ask me why) get’s checked for cancer early because of this and they find something then it’s a good thing.

on the other hand of course i find the whole thing very distasteful especially when the media on a few occasions have done eveything they possibly could to make the poor girls life a fucking misery. suddenly now they are all chummy again. it’s sickening. it’s a testament to the country we live in i’m afraid.

Jade Goody – A Biography (taken from the News of The World)

1. She faced court action over thousands of pounds of unpaid rent.
2. Just hours after arriving (on Big Brother), she had flashed one of her boobs and left viewers stunned with a torrent of foul language.
3. Jade was a figure of ridicule. She was branded a “pig”, two-faced and ignorant. Rival contestants labelled her “thick” and “ugly”.
4. Viewers switched on to watch tipsy Jade strip off during a drinking game to flash her “kebab”.
5. She thought East Anglia was called East Angular, and that it was somewhere near Tunisia. And she reckoned Rio de Janeiro was a person.
6. Jade kept trotting out the clangers … Mona Lisa was painted by “Pistachio”, Mother Teresa was from Germany, Portugal was “in Spain” and “Saddam Hussein was a boxer”.
7. Jade put it best herself when she confessed: “I may not be the sharpest tool in the sandwich box.”
8. “If I hadn’t made it on Big Brother I would probably have been living in a council flat with my mum.”
9. Lapping up the publicity, she once told a reporter she planned to dedicate a room in her house to all her front-page covers.
10. She started dating Jack Tweed. Jade had spotted him in a nightclub before, but had no idea he was six years her junior. She was smitten from the start, and the couple had sex on their first date at London’s Sanderson Hotel.
11. Their romance was to be played out in the full glare of the public when they both went into the Celebrity Big Brother house in 2007—joined by Jade’s mum Jackiey. But the programme that made Jade almost broke her this time as she became embroiled in a race row with Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty. She ranted at the actress: “You’re not some princess in f*****g Neverland. I don’t give a s**t. You’re a normal housemate like everybody else. You need to come to terms with that.” She added: “Go back to the slums and find out what real life is about lady.”
12. Later Jade confessed she wanted to headbutt the Indian actress and branded her “Shilpa Poppadom”.
13. Jade’s popularity nosedived overnight and Ofcom received a staggering 45,000 complaints. Her perfume was removed from the shelves and her autobiography dropped by publishers.
14. She then contracted cancer and turned out to be a fucking saint.

The end
