Is this
or is this not a links part of b3ta?
and yes, I am a twat, a cunt and whatever else you want to call me.
If you live by the media and die by the media, then you leave yourself open to ridicule.

you have such a narrow minded view it is unbeliveble,
right, i have always and probably still do dislike Jade Goody but fucking hell, at least let the poor girl dies with some dignity instead of taking the piss.
And yes she is a media whore but lets face it, her career died long before she did and you can't blame her really for making a little bit of money for her kids.
She died at 27 for fucks sake.

Im sorry...
...but I'm with TIM on this one. Everyone on these boards knew she was going to die and they mocked her then. Now she's actually dead people are pretending that they actually give a fuck. All he is doing is doing is posting a news link and saying that inevitably there will be jokes.

Call me a liar, hypocrit or whatever
but i have never made or laughed at a Jade Goody joke because many of my family members have died from cancer, and i just find it really distasteful to mock someone in their dying days and their death day.
show a little respect for the dead, to be honest it's just too soon.

my sister is probably the thickest blonde in the world, and has said some stupid things... but that doesnt make her a bad person (and i hope cos of that people won´t be happy when she dies one day!).
b3ta is turning more into 4chan with the tossers on here lately.
when sarah and jessica were murdered b3tans loved it.. found it sooo funny! sick fuckers. ashamed to post here sometimes.

You are totally missing my point...and pretty much the whole point of this website.
Anyone with any sense doesn't make fun of the issue here. Cancer is clearly a horrendous disease which kills many and ruins the lives of those affected. However, Jade Goody clearly used the media to her advantage to make money out of the issue. I am not saying that she did wrong in this as she was trying to make as much money as possible to pass to her family (I think?), but in doing this she also put herself in the limelight and will therefore be a focus of attention for people on boards such as this. How people never batted an eyelid when Newsletter issue 369 was titled "Jade's last issue", but then complain about this, baffles me?
By posting the link above, TIM is making light of the subject. Not taking the subject lightly.
And yes, in posting on a renowned "bad taste" website and then moaning, you are in fact a hypocrite.

^ THIS THIS THIS.
Absobloodyexactly.
All the original poster has done is said "JADE GOODY FINALLY DIES!!!"
This just seems to be mocking the constantly sensationalist headlines, the "JADE IS GOING BLIND!" "JADE IS IN A COMA!" etc etc etc. The way that every moment of her demise had been spun into hysteria.
And he's pointed out that sickipedia is going to have a field day. Also true.
Nobody on this board has said "yay she's dead!" and I don't think that anyone would.
Because nobody thinks that.
Everyone is mocking the absurdity of the whole situation. The outpouring of grief for a woman that everyone was calling an idiot or a "vile racist pig" a couple of months ago. The way that she is sanctified whilst countless others die without a moment's mourning....or are openly mocked on this very website without anyone batting an eyelid...just because they're not a point of media obsession.

if she'd not lived by media
then she'd lived by benefits. She really couldn't win! I don't get the hatred, her upbringing made her a little dim, that does not deserve such vitriol.

*ahem*
sorry but doesn't "ridicule" generally mean some form of humour or commentary involved rather than just "yay she's dead". I don't really have an opinion on her but i'll laugh at a good Jade Goody joke, and feel uncomfortable at someone celebrating her death, as they're too very distinct things. Kinda like the difference of telling a holocaust joke and being a Nazi.
