Yes - again I feel uncomfortable - nothing against Jade Goody who is quite entitled to do whatever she likes and it is only 100% natural to feel sadness for anyone dying and for those left behind.
I don't condemn her or her actions in any way.
I do feel it is undignified and I wouldn't want to go this way myself. I loathe Clifford and feel his advice is frequently destructive and harmful to all. I hate the media capitalising on death. I'm all for awareness of health but I fear this is an excuse to boost circulation rather than sincerity on the tabloids part.
I don't read the stories and I switch off the TV. |

Jane Tomlinson died of cancer in September 2007. In the months leading up to her death she campaigned for awareness of the condition and to raise money for the appropriate charity. She had never been on Big Brother or involved in controversy. She was unassuming and sincere. After all of her efforts - running marathons, taking part in triathlons, cycling across Europe, etc. - she managed to raise £1.5 million for charity; approximately the amount Jade Goody spent on her wedding day.
Jane Tomlinson was, rightly, acknowledge by the media, but she was only mentioned when she achieved her goals and, of course, when she died. There was no emotional focus on the future of her children. They still have a father and are well provided for, as are millions of other children around the world who have lost a parent.
Jane Tomlinson used her final days productively. She died with dignity and respect. She was a shining example to us all.

Apparently, Jade Goody is sacred and is off limits for debate. People must not have differing views about her. We must all unite in adoration. Freedom of opinion is suspended.

What a shameful attitude from a bunch of latent snobs.
Did anyone see the miserable old trout on Question Time the other night....?
This board has become a very shabby place. |

Look people can you get off Jade Goody's case. Most of you on here are rampant hypocrites, pontificating about how society is going to pot and the masses are really stupid etc. Yet you are mostly in an industry that requires the engine of publicity and notoriety in order to prosper. Shut up and leave her alone. Just because she chooses to live her life in public and make a fortune from it, is not reason for you to vilify her. Last time I checked, we lived in the UK and not some communist totalitarian state.
Do you think JK wouldn't relish the publicity if he had the chance ? |
