I'm not suggesting for one minute she should have crawled away into a hole, but for heaven's sake, she did absolutely zilch to help other women in the same situation. Jade Goody was all about Jade Goody, and yes, it's sad that she died, but all this overt weeping and wailing is just so over the top. Buy why is it a "sad loss"? What did she contribute to society that means we will miss her? She was a young uneducated woman with a loud mouth who was fortunate enough to become rich and famous for doing absolutely nothing of any worth. What does that say about today's society! In a year's time few people will remember her. She is being held up now as some sort of heroine.......why? Because she died young, in a blaze of well-organised publicity. Next thing will be her equally well-publicised funeral. I for one refuse to jump on this sentimental bandwagon.
There are far more worthy causes on which to use sympathy and sorrow.

Its because of Jade's plight that I have finally booked my smear test that I have been putting off for about a year.

It's tragic she died the way she did no matter your personal opinion of her. The same can be said for all fund raisers.....does this mean they should all crawl off and die in a hole? ffs, get a grip...

Jade was what she was, she made herself a household name. If she helped even one person then it's been a good thing....

And another thing...if you've nothing nice to say....fluckin say nothing.

Also, I'm sure that he's been very well rewarded for his part in this "tragedy".

She's dead, the Meeja folk have made their money, her weans are set up and there are now hundreds of thousands of new voyeurs on the planet. Get over it and let's move on.

I would also like to say how sick and tired I am of people who seem to post on threads in such a negative and hurtful manner because they feel like they have too. The OP was a tribute, rightly or wrongly. If you don't like the content of the thread or have no interest in it, DON"T POST. Go and find somewhere else to play!! I'm sure most of you cyber idiots wouldn't have the balls to say boo to a ghost in the real world!!!
