Default Jade Goody's funeral

Just watched this on the news. It's sad that someone this young has lost their life.

Is Jade's funeral newsworthy?

As newsworthy as any 'celebrity' funeral would be. Whether we like it/her or not, she is a product of the general public and in that regard, yes she is newsworthy.

I think that after such a public death it was inevitable. Whether it really is newsworthy or not I don't know.

Did it make the Aussie news or were you watching UK news?

Wow that surprises me as even as she was dying we didn't really hear too much about it.

Is the actual funeral right now, or are they just getting ready for it? It seems a bit early on a Saturday morning for it?!

Funeral. Think it's about 12 noon in UK. Not watched it all as I'm waiting for the real news to begin.

They're actually closing Loughton High St for an hour as a mark of respect.

Sky are covering the funeral, the world has gone made it's grief tourism ffs.

Will she be dubbed the queen of tarts?

I have nothing against Jade and it's sad that she died but this is beyond a joke.

Agree. It's a media circus - there are thousands upon thousands who die in these circumstances, actually worse off as they don't make money from it.

The same media that reported Jade as a dumb racist now make her out to be a martyr. It's terribly sad and no one can fail to see that. But what a circus

What does this say about the change in values today.
