Jade, you disgust me, again

[Samhain]

So Jade Goody has had a miscarriage, this is something I would wish on no woman, however when most women would be spending time with their families and close friends, grieving and healing, she has taken some time to give an interview about how it is 'punishment from god, for her behaviour on big brother'
What a disgusting thing to say and I don't mean a religious conviction that one is being punished, by god, its belief I don't share, but I respect others to have this belief.
Its the going public about her miscarriage, I can't stand, a blatant, publicity stunt on her part, which is two fold, to get herself back into the public eye and to get peoples sympathy.
Yes she is using her miscarriage to meet her own means again.
Also thinking about it, how dare she think she is important enough, to be punished by god?

I don't know who she is, but the link doesn't make her seem all that lovely of a person. What were the racial remarks regarding?

see link, this was a huge story last year Tara, Jade was one of the most succesful reality Tv stars, loved by a lot of people, then she went back on to celebrity big brother and became hated over night

They just sentenced a couple here to jail for awhile for slinging racial slurs around at a convienence store clerk (all caught on the store camera). I think they physically abused him too - maybe threw things, I don't remember. The woman was exceptionally bad and I was glad they were made an example of how not to act.

[Duck]

umm, depending on the extent of the slurs and 'fun' poking, I think that all might be blown out of proportion a little bit..

[phoenix_indigo]

Samhain, i saw that magazine cover. didnt open though as i only read tabloid covers and don't spend money on them. i thought it was quite disgraceful as well. honestly, she's one person that should just fade into the background. i'm not sure why everyone loved her so much in the first place, but then again i wasn't here when that BB was on, so don't know all the background but the woman just seems like an idiot to me, except for the fact that she knows how to use publicity to get what she wants. obviously she wants fame at any cost, and what happened to her after the Celebrity BB caused her to lose a lot of that fame so she's willing to sell any bit of herself she can to gain a shred of that fame back.

[dapablo]

tbh I don't believe she has the intelligence to form a strategy about the event. She is really just a simple woman who is courted by the press. Anyone who gets that much attention, and especially if they are simple, will believe in their own self importance.

[lithium]

I think Dappo's right, the idea of Jade being that cynical and calculating is a bit wide of the mark. Unless the whole thing was orchestrated by some Max Clifford type publicity guru... I think she really just is that stupid.

Oh, and believing that you are important enough for the creator of the universe to intervene directly in your life is an incredibly commonplace psychosis, Samhain:)

[mamaKCita]

oh, yeah, babies! y'all are going the way of the american jerry springer nation. dumb redneck bitch makes an ass of herself, and ALL THE MEDIA tune in to it. welcome to my nightmare. pretty soon, everyone all over the world is going to think what the rest of the world thinks of america. sucks to be you.

[Samhain]

Well I don't think shes intelligent, but i think shes pretty canny on how to play the media, coming out of big brother wasn't a shock to her, she said when she was in the house that she thought people would hate her and that there would be no audience, a stupid person wouldn't have got that

She's a cretin...that's all that can be said.

[Samhain]

She's a cretin...that's all that can be said.you would need to say more though, because she probably doesn't know what a cretin is

[fountains of nay]

Aye Sam, that's true.
Somebody was saying to me the toher day that her children had been rejected from a private school because the PTA said that Jade was too stupid for her children to attend such a school.
I don't know how true this is though...you know what gossip is like!

I have very little to say of Jade Goody - personally i think she sells herself on her stupidty. I have no time for her.

[Forget me not]

I try not to hate people...but it's when people like Jade Goody make money on being thick (as a brick) that I get angry! There are so many people out there trying to make it with worthy professions and talent: Writers, actors, poets, artists, even motivational speakers but none of them can make it because the screen is wasted on no-talent racists sitting in a house all day! It just seems unfair.

[lithium]

motivational speakers but none of them can make itHow ironic:D

[dapablo]

Hold on, are we saying that because someone has a lower intelligence, which in all honesty they can do little about, they are lesser creatures and should not benefit from any wealth they might encounter. What should they do go and give it to someone cleverer than them?

hmmm. :)

[phoenix_indigo]

What should they do go and give it to someone cleverer than them?

hmmm. :)yes, like me ... my address is ... ;)

[IlUvMuSIc]

She originally made it cos she was a dumb city girl that was trying to make better. She lost it when she got bigheaded. Personally i dont like her or Shilpa Shetty and i really couldnt care less what happened to them now.

I think she needed something to get back at Shilpa for and she chose her skin. Sad but it happens. (btw Shilpa the bullied is beautiful, slim, strong, clever, had a good upbringing, popular. She had everything Jade basically didnt she had to lash out some way. The model and Jo O'meara didnt in my opinion)

[nate87]

seriously who cares what people like her got up to, ignore her and she goes away

[phoenix_indigo]

.......

[autophobe2e]

meh, i dont blame her for the interview, i blame the people who offered her all the money for the interview. the celebrities didnt create their cult, neither did the public its just the media who create these degrading situations, giving people their few weeks of fame, then destroying them.

as for her appearance on big brother, yeah shes obviously a bit stupid and said some things which highlighted her ignorance and she should have kept her mouth shut, and maybe she does deserve to be branded as a racist. but i will say this: any show that records 24 hours of footage and edits it into a one hour show will never be an accurate depiction of events, the producers decide how they want the people to appear in order to give the impression of drama. it just happened that the media decided to take the story and run with it, and as a result biig brother lost its sponsorship (hooray!!) celebrities are all just normal, often slightly thick people who get exploited.

i agree with nate, its the only way to save them , man

[Bonsai Ent]

I don't really care about it, certainly not enough to get angry.

Jade's critics are all part of the same puzzling social milieu that surrounds her, and are as important a part of her publicity machine as her fans.

[yumyum2k5]

People.......This is a human being who has made some bad choices in her life, or has been swayed in the wrong direction by a selfish third party.

If anyone has never made a mistake, or if anyone has never been steered to something they knew wasnt exactly right......then go ahead and condemn.

She's critically ill and she wont live much longer, so everyones wishes of 'I hope she just goes away' will come true.

This is a human person we are talking about here, with human emotions, fears and vices....lets not forget that.

[Fingermouse]

The OP was written years ago

I think the point is though why is anyone so bothered? People go around saying bullshit all the time, and tragic as it is, thousands are dying with various forms of cancer

Im sure in a lot of cases its the very same people that got so up in arms about what someone from Big Brother is supposed to have said that are now weeping into their hankies and saying what a good soul she is

My heart goes out to her and all the women suffering with her illness, its unimaginable. I also dont like the sound of things this woman has said in the past...but I dont know her, so *shrug*

[opel diamond]

oh my god haterzz. u guyz r all gona feel so bad when she pops her clogs.



:D

[Jaitaiyai]

oh my god haterzz. u guyz r all gona feel so bad when she pops her clogs.



:DI heard some good Jade Goody jokes.

..but I think people'll get offended.

[yumyum2k5]

Yeah some people would get offended because you shouldnt joke about someone elses fucking life. Its just sick.

[lithium]

She's dying? Bummer. I think it's possible to differentiaite between someone's public persona and their personal tragedies. She may be a vacuous waste of space but I wouldn't wish her fate on anyone.

[Quoth the Raven]

Yeah some people would get offended because you shouldnt joke about someone elses fucking life. Its just sick.

Psh, celebrities live in the public eye and get handsomely paid for it. They're fair game.

So go ahead jai, jokes please :D

And besides, never refrain from doing something just because someone somewhere might be offended. Otherwise nobody would do anything :cool:

This is bull. Oh, bring on the racism, bullying, shitting in the street etc! Theres free speech and then theres being a complete dickwad. Of course people are free to say it...people are also free to be offended, say so, and think it was a shit thing to do:) Most people in their wisdom will refrain from saying something so unnecessarily harsh because they care about other people

[Fingermouse]

Why was this dragged up again, anyway? *ponders*

[opel diamond]

its amazing how after every unfortunate event or tradegy about a 1000 jokes are done the next day. my boyfriend told me a few JG ones the other day. the ones that are so awful, you laugh and then feel guilty.

[opel diamond]

she didn't tell the jokes, so just chill, go smoke a spliff ,dood. :rolleyes:

[Jaitaiyai]

Whilst I think that people shouldn't just go around spouting bullshit, I see celebrities as fair game. My conscience is happy with me if I mock them to my heart's content. It would be a different case if she'd made it for something other than stripping on television.

[MaccaByrd]

I thought she was scum of some sort but she left little children behind as well as another scummy person who loved her a lot. So...
