Death and the tabloids
Take Jade Goody. Once portrayed as an evil racist bitch, now she's Brave Jade™ the new people's princess.

Same with Diana. One minute she's portrayed as a complete slag, then through death she's miraculously transformed into the people's princess, with her face splashed across thousands of limited edition commemorative plates hanging on walls of tabloid reader's homes across the country.

I'm not suggesting for a second that either of the above are/were evil and deserved to die, far from it, it just amuses me how the tabloids constantly contradict themselves in a vain attempt to shift more copies.

We're all guilty of it.. every local has a bigoted old cunt sitting in the corner. The moment he pegs it, he's fondly remembered as "a real character" instead of the complete bastard that he really was.

Forget all the bollocks about speaking ill of the dead. If I act like a cunt in life I want to be remembered as a cunt in death.

Sickipedia says it best...
Have you ever noticed that it's only 'perfect' people who are murdered or killed in horrific accidents?
"He was the perfect son" or "She was the perfect daughter."
"Such a tragic accident they were the perfect family."
"They died together, the perfect couple till the end."
Makes me glad I abuse my kids and beat up my wife.
Kind of makes me immortal.

Quadrupled
The media frenzy is incredible. I will be glad when she dies and normality can resume.

I could weep...
...with pleasure at all the comments here.

I was afraid of being the only person in the world who thinks that, cancer or not, she is still a pig-faced, ignorant, racist cunt who sends me into paroxysms of rage every time her name is mentioned.
