hogmaw Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Easy to kick someone when they're down. Or dead. She wasn't thick - uneducated maybe, but not thick. There is a difference. How did she manage to get to where she was, with 'no talent', if she was so thick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I thought this was quite good. Parkey on Jade Goody the perfect victim of our times...brought up in a cesspit of poverty and died to an orchestrated chorus of exploitation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Jade Goody is the sum of our modern society, dont blame her for grabbing what (or is it wot!) she could. What of the other celebs!! that are read about so voraciously by the 30 somethings that have invaded the media. It sells papers, bottom line - nothing else. The media does not give a damn about who they write about as long as it sells papers. Jack Osborne, Kelly Osborne, Kate Moss, Jordan, Stella McCartney, Peaches Geldorf, all names of people with no apparent talent riding on the back of other peoples hard work. Pah!!!

supramkivcork Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Modern society unfortunately has an insatiable addiction to live vicariously through other peoples lives. It is indeed how magazines like "hello" and to a lesser editorial content "heat" etc are so popular. It's sad indeed that Jade Goody a young mum was the catalyst for people to wake up about cancer. She certainly was no martyr as Michael Parkinson stated but it's the thousands of people who weeped and attended the funeral that has to be questioned. There are families in every corner of Britain and Ireland struggling from day to day with serious health aswell as financial issues which will inevitably result in mental health issues. The fact that these people saw Jade as some sort of hero/saviour or whatever they saw her as once she contracted cancer is pathetic. Granted it was sad but fair play to Micahel Parkinson for having the honesty to speak out against this farce. On a side note a lot of papers are just rags with stories fabricated at the best of times to ensure sales. They react to what the public feeling is. If they had gone on the offensive Jade a lot of people would become offended and find it easier to contemplate the fact Jade was a martyr.
