    Don't worry lads, this isn't the end of Livings coverage of Jade.

    She will be appearing as a guest on "Most Haunted" soon enough.
    Post of the day, only because it's so ****ing true.

    This has little to do with finacial support for her kids.

    I disagree


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 13,426 ✭✭✭✭Ginny


    Sad thing is if she is doing this for the kids, their last memories of their mother will be of her with a media circus around her.
    Honestly if it was me, I'd take my kids away to the middle of nowhere and spend my last few months/weeks with my family around me.

    You bet it's true, they will want to get their 4 year contract out of her.

    People keep saying she is selling stories,pictures etc to make money for her kids,she has been doing this for years now and unless she has been conned into buying some magic beans or something I'm pretty sure she has a good chunk of change in the bank.
    This is about her own need to be loved and well recieved by the public,all the gossip magazines wouldn't dare speak ill of her now,as they have before. She's been given immunity in the press and the whole reason she went on big brother is to fill some inane need to be famous,well in her last days she will get all the praise and accolades she wanted.I would rather spend the last few days I had on this world with my loved ones making memories they will never forget instead of engaging in interviews and documentaries that will be forgetten in a few weeks.

    No. This is the woman that had a throwaway comment that means very little when not on natioanl tv with millions of people with nothing better to do but get outraged on behalf of all the poor oppressed people (read: anyone whos not middle class and white), blown out of all proportion.

    Doesn't surprise me that happened. However, this appeals to what I said earlier. It's beyond me why people make a big deal over stupid stuff like this.
    She was already a celebrity at that stage btw, seeing as that was on "celebrity" big brother.

    Yes, this certainly appears so, but not for reasons much better than my first assumption. Here's a few extracts taken from a Wiki page on her:
    "When she appeared on Big Brother 3 Goody became a target of ridicule in the British tabloid press for displaying a severe lack of general knowledge for a British native."

    "She also was criticised by the tabloid press during her time in the Big Brother house for an evening during which she cavorted drunk and naked, referring to her vulva as her "kebab".

    She certainly sounds like a keeper. Famous for all the right reasons? Hardly.
    No as much as you I assume?

    Exactly my point. Do you know why nobody does a newspaper article on me or puts me on the front page? Because nobody gives a ****. Why do people give a **** about this idiot?
    Who said you should care? Show how little you care by not commenting about her, ever. (asnd all other subjects you dont care about

    Nobody said I should care and I've made it pretty clear that I don't. It's just beyond me why other people do. Just look at how many responses this thread is getting, it's ridiculous.

    Interestingly enough, I think it's the medium of the delivery that's turning most people off.

    I'm not a fan of hers by any stretch and, while I would never wish the girl dead, I hate the Princess Diananess of the whole thing but, if she had written a book, I think people would be more accepting, for some reason.

    Jade Goody- My Struggle with Cancer would've been a bestseller and probably positively reviewed in the broadsheets.

    Do funeral homes do gift vouchers?

    What do you gain by beign rich when your dead?

    The publicity. She doesnt care that she is dying, she only cares that people are talking about her and that she is "famous".

    And to whomever mentioned Bobby Robson and Kylie and them being public with their cancer. You have got it totally wrong. Did Kylie do the "World Breast Cancer Tour"? No, she stayed at home and away from the media so she can fight her disease in private, and when she did beat it she came out with story. Jade on the other hand wants as much attention as she can get out of this. She has given cancer a bad name!!!!

    Jesus a lot of garbage been spoken in this thread, i never particularly liked Jade Goody personally but i still wouldn't be like half the cu.nts in here making jokes about her dying and questioning her motives for sellng stories about her illness.

    If she has the power to make as much money for her children therefore making a more comfortable life for them in the future then whats the problem, and if anyone in here says they wouldn't they're a liar or else a fool.

    As much as Jade Goody has been a media whore over the past couple of years do people think that she enjoys being photographed and then having to look at pictures of herself bald and in a wheelchair? I somehow doubt it.

    Yes she is a representation of how society and media culture has gone these days, but thats societies fault not hers, she started off a stupid girl who came from nothing and managed to make a few bob out of it, anybody in her situation would've done it. Well anybody apart from from the some of the people in the thread sitting on their high horse talking about morals and dignity, ironic really you'd think people talking about how a person should live their life morally would refrain from laughing and sneering at a person dying of cancer.

    She doesnt care that she is dying,

    WTF?????????


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 729 ✭✭✭beth-lou


    I pray for your kids if you use her as a role model in life

    Eh I don't use her for a role model in life.

    But I do teach them not to kick someone when they're down, try to be understanding, rise above it etc. It's better than teaching them to be insensitive little ****s who take glee in others misery.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,178 ✭✭✭Mena


    Am I the only one that thinks she's faking it - to get her popularity back up after the debacle that is/was her life...?

    There'll be a miracle cure in a few weeks time and she'll go on to host her own talk show or something. And the masses will lap it up.

    F that. She chose to be in the public eye, if she is willing the make money from her illness then she should be prepared to be the butt of peoples anger, jokes etc.

    The only actual good coming out of the whole thing is that it has highlighted cervical cancer and that women should be screened for it. But Jade Goody isn't to be thanked for that.

    Utterly ridiculous, i feel sorry for you if you really think these things.

    Nobody is making you read it. Just stop reading the trashy tabloids.

    To be honest I never cared much for the woman,she is trailer trash. She is also a human being. I can't believe some of the comments in here. This woman is dying ffs and she is leaving behind two young sons. In their eyes she is not a media whore or a racist, she is their mother! And I have no doubt that everything she is doing right now, with all the interviews and such, is to secure their future. I know that a lot of people find this crass or trashy, but lets face it she is trying to make as much money for them as possible in what little time she has left.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,776 ✭✭✭Noopti


    Yeah stupid people.

    Almost as stupid as the people glorfying her suddenly now she has cancer.
    Two years ago she was hated, now she is loved. Typical sheep behaviour.

    People were constantly poking fun at her before she was ill, and now suddenly she is off limits? No, she isn't.
