Jade Goody

[pixie]

Just read the first report I've come across about her. Think its a bit of a joke that, firstly, she has this opinion of herself that anyone really gives a shit about her plight as if she is more important than any other cancer victim across the globe.

Well the newspapers and the people who's demand they seem to supply seem to be of the opinion that her plight is newsworthy enough, so I wouldn't quite accuse her of being full of self-importance in this one.

Secondly, its even more disturbing to see that people are interested enough to care about pictures of her christening or her rushed edding to some poor guy.

I wouldn`t call him "poor guy"!! Convicted violent thug , who saw an opportunity for money is more like the truth. Got to admit , it was a stroke of genius on his part to wait till her terminal illness was confirmed and then marry her!

Not strictly true , though they have a father alive ( Jeff Brazier ) who should assume responsibility for their care. And are the women who are now demanding smear tests so dumb they hadn`t heard of cervical cancer before???

Jeff Brazier, whom I have actually met personally, is a second rate non-league footballer of yesteryear and failed TV presenter.

I can really see that paying the public school fees for the next 13 years, then the university fees after that.
As for the increasing women taking smear tests, well, you can speculate their level of intelligence all you like, but the facts speak for themselves. The number of women taking smear tests have gone up since the notoriety of Jade's illness.

And you mention that famous people with cancer must somehow go round and alert the public of the need to raise cash for a cure for cancer, are the general public so dumb that they are unaware that cancer still has no cure, and effects such a large number of people?

Exactly! Do you really think with that for a father and the IQ level of the mother , they will get through 13 years of private education and go on to university??? Three words. Common Entrance exam. Although they say children are often brighter than their parents, lets hope for their sake it is true in their case!

Whole tyhing is upsetting, end of day it is a woman dying and it is not nice.

She did make racist comments but she went to India and tried to sort it out and that takes some guts.

Weird thing a person being in her room with a hammer!

What was that about?

Smear tests have gone up and that is a good thing, Jade Goody repented her mistakes and should now be left to die in as much dignity as is possible from her situation.

I don't have a clue who he is. Like I said, I've read one report on the issue. But I feel sympathy for anyone who has to put up with that sort of rubbish.

Can I just point out that a quote in this thread has been attributed to me even though I never made the statement. This has occurred as some people are incapable of quoting properly.
I have no problem at all with Jade Goody maximising the revenue from this situation to ensure a stable future for her children. In many ways I applaud her for it. People can judge her and criticise her for the way this horrible situation is being played out under the public eye but that is her choice. She says her motives are financial for her childrens benefits. Many people believe to choose otherwise, that's their right.
What cannot be disputed is that this girl has raised the profile of this evil fucking disease and if that gets women across this country to go and get screened then it is a good thing. Until you have had this evil *word censored* in your family you will never understand.
Don't be so quick to judge her or anyone else for this.

All women in this country between the ages of 25 and 65, who are registered with a GP get regular letters to have cervical cancer smear tests done. A vaccine has been introduced for younger women. So there is no excuse for any woman to suddenly decide she needs to be tested because some person who is regarded as a "celebrity" (I use that word loosely) gets the disease because she chose to ignore letters regarding medical advice.

[SPUDMASHER]

The point here is that a lot of young girls ignore them thinking that they're okay because they're young. If this encourages them to go and get tested instead of ignoring the letter then it is a good thing.
My wife always goes for hers regardless of how uncomfortable/embarrassing it is. Just as well that she did too. She had to go back as they found problems. Fortunately they were able to do something.
Too many people are quick to knock Jade and it almost seems fashionable to do so. Terry Pratchett is doing almost the same thing with Alzheimers yet nobody criticises him do they?

[pixie]

But she is not spending her time raising money and awareness for cancer though is she?? Instead she is amassing as much as she can for personal gain, and spending £1.5 million marrying a violent chav. Therein lies the difference. Other difference is Terry Pratchett is a successful author with a knighthood for services to literature. Jade Goody?? Best known for giving a blowjob on Big Brother!!!

[SPUDMASHER]

Why do you have such an issue with her? I really don't understand it.
She is securing the future for her children and bloody good luck to her for doing so.
Do you really think Terry Prachett would give a shit about Alzheimers if he didn't have it himself? Do you not think he is on a publicity campaign raising his own profile to get a big paycheck?
Jade Goody has always been a genuine person that has remained true to who she is depsite her fame. Yes, she's a publicity vulture and always has been. Yes, she is famous for being on a reality show, which she incidentally denied any allegation of giving a blowjob (unlike the Geordie tart that then went on to host a porn channel). Who cares? This is a young mother of two that is dying of the most evil fucking disease. Show some compassion for fucks sake.

[pixie]

Lots of people dying every day from awful diseases........Hard to find compassion for such a revolting individual when you remember that fact.
Last word from me on the subject.

[SPUDMASHER]

Thats very sad and you should feel ashamed for saying so

I forgot about him

(runs for cover)

[Captain Fabregas]

I disliked her before she had cancer and i'm not going to magically like her now she has cancer but it is a horrible thing.

[SPUDMASHER]

Don't get me wrng, I'm not exactly what you would call a fan but I cannot understand why so many want to have a pop at her. Easy target I guess.

Wayno, ref. Terry Pratchett. Don't even go there mate

[Cus Geezer]

But she is not spending her time raising money and awareness for cancer though is she??

As already pointed out, a 50% increase in donations to cancer research on last year - what's brought that on? It's not the economy is it dear pixie?

As for raising awareness, as you've rightly pointed out see is not very bright or articulate is she. Should Jade be appearing on TV every five minutes trying to educate us with medical stuff and terminology who's going to listen. She only knows one thing and that is to generate publicity, in the process she has generated publicity for how horrific life with terminal cancer is.

She's more than done her bit, and despite being so judgemental about her you are yet to inform us of how you've done yours.

Exactly! Do you really think with that for a father and the IQ level of the mother , they will get through 13 years of private education and go on to university???

I don't know, do you have any overwhelming evidence that educational success is linked to genetics and nature, seperate from factors of nurture?

There seems to be overwhelming evidence that private education equals academic success due to better teachers, better facilities and smaller classes.

Three words. Common Entrance exam

Three more words - University Tuition Fees.

As much as I dislike it, money makes a massive difference in academic attainment even if you already have the natural talent. There is a wider gap between the life chances of the rich and poor and our society is getting less meritocratic, not more. I myself may well have comfortably passed with a 2:1 in Law, I now have to find £10K of my own to further my studies and build a career in Law.

Much as I dislike how the kids of the wealthy seem to get all the breaks due to mummy and daddie's pockets, I wouldn't begrudge a working class slumdog like Jade trying to give her kids the breaks she never got in education.

Hard to find compassion for such a revolting individual when you remember that fact.

I would say revolting is a bit harsh, she's definitely not very bright and talentless.

I'd rather save such harsh phrases for real scum like this *word censored*.



Why does no-one ever try to find their way to his bedside with a hammer?
