She went from pariah to someone the nation can feel sorry for in one foul swoop.
I may feel slightly bad for thinking like this.

Mind you, I watched the Terry Pratchett thing the other day, and it really touched me...
So maybe a series about her, and her bravery will help ease the nations angst.

Terry Pratchett is someone that is well respected all over the world and has contributed a lot of worth to the world. Jade Goody is someone who got famous for being in a house, then started losing fame and went back into the same house, just with some other people who had been on telly. That isn't to say I like seeing her suffer, but they are very different people of very different standing in the world.

we all die. and pay taxes. just cos they are famous doesnt make it harder/better/easier
mind you i study psychology and Pratchett is a good source of info for alzheimers, eloquent and doesnt ask for sympathy

but I would hardly say that he has contributed a lot of worth. Doctors contribute a lot of worth. Teachers contribute a lot of worth. Firemen contribute a lot of worth. Novelists and inane TV personalities alike contribute roughly the same amount.
So unless Terry Pratchett has fed a lot of third world children I don't know about, he hasn't really contributed anything of any real worth.

There are plenty of authors who have helped people, plenty of books that have helped people. You don't need to give someone a heart bypass to save/change their life.

Can't believe the connection has been made somehow, one of my fave authors, and a retard from fake TV, bizarre.

there is a new series of programs looking at Alzheimers, which is following Terry Pratchett around as he comes to terms with his Posterior Cortical Atrophy. Innit!

but take something like Catcher in the Rye. A lot of people claim it helped them through their disenfranchised youths and such. There are plenty of books out there that have helped people through difficult times in their lives.

Disenfranchisement is usually solved by a lack of youth. Growing up is the best medicine.

We have all been there! Maybe you had music, maybe someone else had books to help them through it :)

I mean the whole alzheimers thing is more than a bit unpleasant but let's get some perspective here.
He wrote third-rate fantasy novels with an allusion to humour and spotty retards who didn't know better loved him for it.

Please wait at least a year after she's died.
(Disclaimer: As much as I despise the whole celebrity bullshit and "famous for being famous" culture she personifies I don't want her to die, just her career)

but the thought had occurred, esp since pics of her supposedly post-chemo she has quite apparent eyebrow hair and cranial stubble.
But frankly, under his direction, any fuckin thing is possible, and we'll only be sure if the poor lass drops dead.
Of course, if it comes to light it is all BS, I'm pretty darn sure he won't be the one taking the fall for it...

he was happy to exploit is sick daughter to get some anti-government publicity back in the 90s.
There is nothing that is beneath him.
He's done more to damage this country than any politician.

Kinda new to this, but I don't personally want any harm to come to Jade Goody (especially the C word: not C***) but you have to admit, the likeness is uncanny!
