    Huh? OK prints Jade tribute before her death

    OK magazine are gearing up to print a Jade Goody tribute issue before she has even passed away. Issue 666 () of the magazine will have the heading '1981-2009' and will say on the cover 'Her Final words: "I will come back from heaven to look after my boys."'

    I know she is in the last stages of the disease (she is near blind and sleeping for three quarters of the day) but what if she makes a God-like miraculous recovery? Shouldn't the tribute magazine come out after her death, talk about jumping the gun.

    Meh. I don't mind it so much as all that, but it should definitely not be something that so many seemingly care so very much about.

    That's one phrase I've never understood. What the heck does it mean? Is it meant to compare the emotional/mental/psychological discomfort of being mocked or ridiculed to the physical discomfort of urinary catheterization?

    LOL!

    It's just another weird curse that doesn't actually make sense, like "fuck off" or "screw up". In usage, yeah it means to ridicule or make fun of.

    I honestly do not know who she is. Is she well known over in Europe?

    She was the token stupid one on the second or third UK Big Brother. She became notorious for her idiotic gaffes ("Where's East Angular?", "What's sparagus?") and embarrassing attention-seeking behaviour. The media latched on to her and, although she doesn't actually do anything, from about summer 2002 until the present day, she's appeared in the gutter press at least once or twice a month.

    I don't get it. She's a shallow and basically stupid person, propelled into being a celebrity because some people are facinated by her shallow and stupid personality.... Now she's got cancer she's a martyr?

    And now the fortune amassed by her stupity, will no doubt end up in the hands of her scum bag husband - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebri...007#Jack_Tweed

    The whole thing makes me sick. I never liked Jade Goody, ever since her being on Big Brother 3 UK - the series where "Am I minG-Ging?" became a catch phrase, and she gave PJ and BJ ... ugh.

    Anne Widdecomb did a piece with her a while back, for a TV special that was possibly not shown, but Widdecomb talked about it anyway - it was all about education and such - and she was asking Jade the simplest questions, like "what is an MP?" - and she simply had absolutely no grasp of damn near anything, and purely read celebrity gossip rags. Basically - one of the least educated people on the planet.

    I think the celebrity circus around her since BB3 has been sick, and is ESPECIALLY sick now - with these daily updates on how close to dying she is. The tabloid rag pictures of her exhausted face and bald head, her kids being paraded around in tow with her ex-druggie mother, her new husband who has been done for assault (and waiting to be done again for it apparently), meanwhile her kids are with some bloke called Jeff Brazier or some bollocks who I think was on a series of Shipwrecked years and years ago - another jack-the-lad moron.

    And that bloody Max Clifford holding impromptu press conferences with the baying mob of paps following this whole circus - yeah, and what amount of cash is he raking in over her death?

    How much money has been earned by people who have latched onto the 'Jade Goody brand'?

    And now, here we are, with this woman who has no education at all and not talent whatsoever, parading herself as she dies in front of the lenses of the media to earn money for her kids after she's gone - the reality tv show based around this current circus, which is airing as it all happens, the 'cancer diary' that will come out soon, the magazine and tv deals - and endless cycle of "sleb teevee" garbage about one of the most unremarkable people ever to have walked the earth.

    ...

    Basically - the whole thing is a tragedy, and speaks well of no-one involved, quite frankly.

    I've been avoiding all this stuff like the plague, but you can never fully avoid it as it's plastered all over 24 hour news and the internet. It's ridiculous.

    Ugh. Sick.

    ^ This, basically.



    Although I must say, I think I have done a better job than you at avoiding this stuff. Ditching my TV has really been a blessing.

    Bang on, son. She is a parasite of the highest order and I really couldn't give two shits. Still, the magazine (be it with her permission or not) is a tad ridiculous.

    It's been speculated that when she does finally kick the bucket, it will be on par with Diana's passing. As much as I say no, the tabloids will definitely say yes. Mark my words...

    Isn't Mr Goody currently locked up for his assault charges?

    He's on a curfew - which the government promptly excused so he could spend his wedding night with her - it's what the gubment do these days, they just seek to change and waive laws on a case-by-case basis.

    Apparently there's going to be some big screen TV thing outside the church to show people standing outside the funeral taking place ... ...

    Diana actually did something with her life - and like Capn says, the tabloids and "sleb rags" will be all over this like a dim-witted, horny toad.

    And the news channels will be COVERED in it too, and I bet you'll be able to count 5 windows of Sky News' red button interactive menu of screens, dedicated to it all.

    The whole thing speaks ill of Goody herself, but also the society that allows this sort of thing to go on - i.e. the people that lap this garbage up.
