Jade Goody death site provokes Macmillan cancer charity
by Daniel Farey-Jones, Brand Republic 01-Oct-08, 11:05
LONDON - Macmillan Cancer Support and Max Clifford are attempting to block a sick website carrying a competition for people to predict when reality TV celebrity Jade Goody is going to die.
Goody's battle with cervical cancer has been seized on by the Netherlands-based site, which is carrying adult dating ads.
It is offering the prize of an Apple iPhone to the person who makes the closest prediction of the time and date of her death.
The site claims to support Macmillan and includes a link to the charity's website, in a passage that starts with a long rant about Goody's attention-seeking habits and finishes: "If you feel like helping real cancer victims visit The Macmillan Trust [all money earned by your clicks on the ads will be donated to this trust]."
However, the charity has denied it has any relationship with the site. Its spokeswoman said the charity was only made aware of the site due to a call from Goody's representative Clifford last night and that it was joining efforts by Jade Goody's camp to get the site shut down.
Goody, who initially received a sceptical reaction when she received confirmation that she had cancer on the set of Indian TV's 'Big Brother', recently had major surgery to combat the disease.
In no way do i condone Cancer and i find a few people on the internet to be maladjusted, but whoever has made this site is the height of sick
NSFW because of Girly ads

Max Clifford is the evil brain behind Jade Goody's
Continuing presence.
See Louis Theroux's documentary to see what a manipulative cunt he is.
And I really dislike Goody, but this is a bit foul play.

I concur, this is extremely bad taste.
However, I am sure I am not the only one whose initial thought when the news came out, given the timing, found it all a bit suspicious.

I like Max
you have to be a twat to take any interest in the human flotsam that he pimps to the tabloids, so if he makes some cash and gives even a penny in the pound to a good cause, then good on him

That is fucking disgusting
In my opinion.
edit: infact that's made me quite sad. I fucking love the internet, and especially the free speech aspect, but it does worry me that kids are becoming numb to the realities of life and in this case are willing someone's death so literally.

meh
i suspect that Mr. Clifford is behind this in some way, just so he and his client can act all offended and get in the papers for no apparent reason for the umpteenth time in the past couple of months.
I seem to remember a recent "Goody" headline which read "I will never tell my kids of my pain"... (but i will tell them through a fucking national newspaper)
Call me a cynic, but i also suspect that her appearance on the Indian big brother - at the very same time she was expecting the results of her mammography, was also a set-up.
I wish her the best with her fight against cancer, but i also wish she'd cunting well fuck off!

I guess I must be going to Hull,
I'm not in the slightest bit offended by that site.
Call me cynical, but when she pulls through, no doubt there will be a book charting her 'battle' against the disease and her face will be all over the papers - and like the fucktards 90% of the British public are, they'll lap it up.
I wouldn't wish cancer on anyone, my Mum has had breast cancer (thankfully caught early and resolved) but she delt with it with dignity. Much like the article says, thousands are diagnosed everyday - why the fuck should this pig ugly inbread cunt come on my TV and cry about it?
