Am I only only one
who finds it disturbing that people can find this shit amusing? Personally I'm not that shallow a cunt to think that I know someone just from what I've read in the papers and seen on TV. Let alone to wish death upon them... very sad.

Amen
Yes she was a vapid cunt who didnt deserve the publicity she got, but man its pretty sad when people want to celebrate the death of a young mother in a slow painful manner.
I mean she was a bit racist, but it not like she was responsible for genocide or anything.

^^^THIS!!
She didnt ask for this ridiculous publicity she is getting although I guess its par for the course given the choices she has made in recent weeks to make money for her kids, and I wouldnt begrudge her that.
They only thing that shits me is that she is front page every day. It seems to have escaped tabloid papers notice that 2 young soldiers and a policemen were killed by the IRA, they will leave behind families who will not have millions of pounds to help support them, unfortunately there is little column space left to report about these very deserving news items.
This country needs to get a grip on reality fast!!

SHE HIRED A PUBLICIST. Not just any publicist but THE tabloid publicist to get her, and her death, in the news.
She's loving every minute of it.

Never mind the publicity, do you think she's loving every minute of the pain, humiliation, loss of eyesight, surgery and knowing her children will grow up without their mother?
My mum died of cancer, as did my ex-husband. Fuck off.
*ignores*

I was seperating the cancer from the person
The fame hungry side of her loves it.
I'm not happy she's got cancer. It's a horrible way to die (my Aunt, and a family friend had breast and lung cancer respectively so i've experienced it too) and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
For what it's worth (as you probably won't see this) I'm truly sorry if i've offended you

how can u love anything when u can barely get up?
she got the money and pubilicity so her kids could have a great childhood. every mother i've spoken too about this subject has said they would do the same in a heartbeat.

She hired him to maximise her money potential
Not to have the entire country sit vigil by her bedside watching her die. As I said its a side effect of the road she chose to go down.
When all said and done maybe this national and very personal exposure to such a terrible disease will do some good. Giving many people a first hand account of what it is like to die from cancer might get some more money flowing to cancer charities and thats a good thing. If it generates more charity money than she has made through prostituting her illness then Im all for that.

She is a horrible person.
Dying from a tragic disease doesn't change that.

From the way she has appeared in the media, Im inclined to agree with you to a certain extent
She isnt a person I would want to be friends with or really want anything to do with, but at the end of the day she is human, she is a loving mother and I am sure she also has friends and family who care deeply about her. She isnt Hitler or Stalin and I dont think it can be argued on any level that she deserves the hand that she has been dealt.
Your right the manner of her suffering and her impending death wont change her as a person but if it raises awareness of cancer and gets some money flowing in to the charities then she will have performed a very beneficial act, all be it unknowingly.

I agree with what you are saying
i mean its stupid, jade goody more important than two dead soldiers and a policeman in ireland? for christs sake ireland is on our door step and it looks like the trouble is flaring up again. i don't wish her suffering on her or anybody but this publicity has been too much. more newsworthy stories are barely given any reporting, like you say. but i guess thats tabloid reporting (celebrity, celebrity,celebrity) hell i better start reading the guardian properly for some proper reading material. or maybe the independant. i feel sorry the the families of those poor guys who died in ireland, as my brother is in the army. less so for jades family although i do feel sorry for them.

I know what you mean
but think of it as her celebrity being a seperate person from the actual woman. Non of us actually know her - her constant press coverage in the past is usually fabricated or exagerated by tabloids for sales. Basically 'Jade' that we know is a fictitious being and a fucking irritating one at that. That's what people are happy to laugh at when misfortune strikes.
I very much doubt that most people who laugh at this shit would actually laugh at her in real life. But that's the game she played...she sold this abstract version of herself to court attention and make money. When people criticise, there's no work to focus on (eg. I hate x's new book, x is a nob)- only her 'personality', so that's what gets the flack. When she herself got cancer, she can't really expect people to start seperating the real Jade from the tabloid one and give the real her sympathy while simultaneously hating her creation.
She made this situation herself. If anything, I think the Jade that everyone hates should be packed away (ie not be in the press) and the show brought to an end; while the real Jade goes through a normal, dignified death.
