This is a normal post he doesnt make many decent points and appears to be a fattist

This is a normal post Really?
Because he seems to make a perfectly vaild point. She has been milking this, along with everything else she's done.

But I agree, it's not too subtle, I suppose he could hade done it better

This is a normal post ok
Things I already know:

- she is fat
- she is stupid (although the people around her clearly arent)
- she is dying of cancer
- she is one of the luckiest fuckers alive since she has fame for largely being an objectionable human being (he forgot to mention that she's also a bigot)

I do not find any of these things particularly endearing.

Things I have learnt from this video:

- Joe from "fit lads" (whatever that is) would not wish cancer on himself
- He doesnt like the fact that someone who genuinely has days left on the planet is willing to use her fame (ill gotten as it is) to set her children up for life. I wonder what you or I would do in the same situation (perhaps something similar in better taste).
- he thinks that other people's "personal tragedies" are somehow weakened by her plight. A connection I do not understand - Jade Goody has not deprived these people of medicine any more than the next cancer sufferer. If anything there has been a minor stimulation in public debate about cervical cancer
- he thinks that political correctness, some types of coffee, vegetarianism and voting Labour are all bad things - that these things are somehow connected and that this invented social group should "fuck off"


I wish I had a video camera...

This is a normal post Possibly
But I still think the whole 'use fatal disease as publicity-stunt' is just terrible.

And I challenge you to prove that a) she meant it entirely for her kids and not for herself in the usual jade goody fashion and b)regardless of her celebrity status she was treated as just another cancer patient in terms of care and medication

This is a normal post
a) she has an aggressive cancer and at best has 2 months to live. Even if she had the energy to spend it all on herself, I imagine she wouldn't. I don't think even the stupidest of human beings would be capable of such behaviour.

b) I'm not sure of the particulars here but in her shoes (and with money accrued previously) I'd definitley go private. Anybody can purchase private healthcare insurance as long as they have the money to do so. It doesnt require celebrity.

This is a normal post Indeed. When I fractured my spine I was told the wait for physiotherapy would be
NHS: six weeks.

Private: three hours.

Thankfully I have insurance through work.

This is a normal post Yes, because parading yourself in front of a camera when your hair is falling out
and you can barely walk, is probably loads of fun.

Not that I like her, but I can understand what she is doing. What would you do differently? GO and die quietly, without making much of a fuss and leaving fuck all, except a bad reputation for your kids to grow up under, or would you think, fuck it, and make some money for them?

I don't know why people get so pissed off about it all, other than petty jealousy that she is getting wads of cash for doing fuck all, which, to be honest, anyone in their right mind would think is a great deal. Would you turn down a photo opportunity for a million to show your last days? Don't think so

This is a normal post I think it's because
she's not actually doing all of this for the sake of cancer sufferers.
As far as I'm aware it just seems that she's coming accross as the only person who's afflicted with this and wants others to know.
Yes, I agree that suffering from cancer whilst being a celebrity is going to have the side-effect of nationwide attention...

But surely a little decorm. You're talking about a photo op, she's gunning for the whole publicity package here. Surely you're not saying that's kosher?

This is a normal post 1) ooooh....look at me. I shop at tshirthell.com and I mean it. Grrrr.
2) It is perhaps a little unadvised to call someone a 'media whore' while in a self-recorded soliloquy posted on youtube.
3)When he starts ranting about 'vegitarian labour voters' or whatever, he reminds me of the kind of person who would turn around and sugggest Clarkson for Prime Minister. aka a cunt.

This is a normal post 2) As much as I despise what she's become and her medialust, she has a damnsight more charisma and camera-savvy than he has.
And he says "fuck", which renders his argument irrelevant IMO.

3) What's he on about?

Although on the face of things NuLabour has moved away from its socialist roots over the past 15 years or so, my minds eye still doesn't say vegetarians.

A swift googling says FitLads is a gay site (unless there's more than one, in which case, oops on his part). Strikes me as unusual to be seemingly so conservative (little c), anti-vegetarian and so on and be gay.

This is a normal post I have to say
as much as he comes across as a gaylord who lives his life in a way to try and impress his hard-nosed northern father who used to mine coal with his bare cock...

...I have to agree with him.

One recent(ish) jade goody headline i saw was "I won't tell my kids of my pain". No? but you will tell a fucking national newspaper knowing full well that they'll splash it on the FP... free for your kids to see anyway... but at least you'll have made a cool X thousand for the exclusive deal with the paper, init.

Like I've said on here before, because of the Max Clifford connection, the cynic inside me detects a miraculous recovery in the coming year... "OMG I aint gonna die after all init.. and everyones forgotten about my shameful racist past"

ho hum.

This is a normal post well, just imagine a PR overlord who would stoop so low to, oh i dunno... publicise fake rape allegations in the press?
oh yea, that's right... Max Clifford did just that. (ala his client's rape allegations against the Hamiltons - which turned out to be total fantasist bullshit)

Oh, but how would he know the allegations were false? Of course, he wouldn't - but that didn't stop him sending press releases claiming that it was 100% genuine - this is PR, not investigative journalism.

But anyway, would she get lynched? really??
I mean, it wouldn't be her fault if she had "battled bravely against the onset of cancer... and WON!"

And anyone who would dare to accuse her of being a fake in the mass media would be shot down in a hail of "OMG you sick, insensitive bastard" comments - let alone the wrath of Max Clifford.

This is a normal post Max Clifford
She probably hired him because he gets better deals from the newspapers. I don't particularly like Jade Goody, but in her shoes I'd be doing whatever I could to leave an inheritance behind as well. Yes, there might be remission on the way, but there might not. If she was lying, the medical professionals involved in her case would be implicit in the lie, that surely wouldn't be in their interest?
Although perhaps they can't speak out because of the Hippocratic oath. Hmm.

There are better causes to get angry about, I think. Certainly, being annoyed because she isn't so thin is a bit silly. The weight's going to fall off her in the next few weeks anyway.

This is a normal post From today's Independent (pp.5)
White doves and media deals as Goody ties knot

...Living TV, which had signed up Goody for an ongoing series prior to her diagnosis with cervical cancer in August. The cancer spread to several other parts of her body. Doctors believe she may live.

The Independent is one of the most poorly edited newspapers, in terms of frequent grammar and spelling mistakes and the like, so this may be just a typo. But what if it's not...

This is a normal post What I will say is...
...that at "best" i think she did/does have cervical cancer but it's nowhere near as bad as Mr Clifford has made out, it was caught early enough for effective and successful treatment, and they've simply used the opportunity, in the most cynical way imaginable, to raise her public standing after her disastrous Shilpa Shetty incident.

Baring in mind that before this her name was mud, AND the fact that she doesn't really have any other ability to make a comeback (you know, like a Britney/Take That-esque comeback single, or a Robert Downey, Jr Ironman jobbie) - it'd be worth the gamble, right?

She will soon be dead. She has enough problems; and i think people should just keep there opiniions to themselves. Its very self-righteous to bother getting involved.

Not criticising you or the poster of this thread, but ppl like the douche in the vid.

I just think that when people criticise her, it's pretty pointless. She's exploiting her condition to make money for her kids. It's the decision she's made, and probably the last one. So it seems worth letting her just get on with it. Criticising her will achieve nothing, and make her life no easier.

This is a normal post I can't see how it's a useless point
In fact, it's not a point - it's a stated opinion. And it's one that I completely agree with. If you don't like what Jade Goody is doing, sure, discuss it with friends etc etc but to release a fucking press statement declaring your distaste for her every move is surely both indulgent and defeating the purpose of appealing for her to get less attention?

Here's mine:

Yes she's dying of cancer and it is a horrifc thing that no one should suffer but...

She's milking her own death for as much media attention she can get. I find it extremely distasteful and rather pathetic.

that when Bobby Robson was diagnosed with cancer, he used his position to raise money for treatment and research, not simply enrich his family. Terry Pratchett is doing much the same for Alzheimers.
