We have just seen the latest magazine in Marks and Spencer, near the till area.
It is black edged and states Jade Goody 1983-2009.
The magazine is clearly making it look like she is already dead.
I am amazed at the bad taste at this edition. Are they scared she may die when their magazine is not due out, and that others publications make beat them to it?!
Shame on them :shock:
Shame on the lot of em. :cry:
no...shame on anyone that buys the magazine!
That is the depths that the media will stoop, Surely it is no suprise really.
They care for nobody but the money.

Agreed!
If I owned a newsagents I would send them all back!

Yep agreed but the magazines are pandering to the lowest common denominator and are cynical in their manipulation of the public.

There is no but, the magazines only survive if there is a market, if people buy this particular edition, then they are fuelling this mentality.
It goes beyond wrong.

As Goody appears to have set a new trend...who will be the next z-list celebrity to offer their services for the camera when they are dying...nip it in the bud now...don't buy these trashy magazines!
And without the magazines there public wouldnt be interested. The whole celeb culture has been invented by the media. 50 years ago people were not walking the streets going "you know what? What we need is a bit of reality TV"
Yes the whole celebrity thing has become a hideous monster. There is far too much of it and some of the people living off it are just not worth it.
People with real talents and skills don't look like these celebrities or come with their kind of baggage.
In these times of hardship the last thing you need is people who can't carry their own weight.
Coming soon to a tabloid near you : The Franklin Mint Jade Goody Memorial Plate. Lovingly machine pressed and transfer printed with beautiful gold-effect edging, this charming ceramic celebrating the life of Jade Goody will give literally minutes of vicarious pleasure to all those with an inappropriately morbid desire to be right in there at the death. Yours for only in 4 easy payments. rolleyes
I'm not sure who I'm more pissed off by to be honest. The publishers of scurrilous little rags like O.K., the people who buy it, or Jade herself for allowing such hypocritical bastards to milk her for all she's worth. Not one of these papers had a good word to say for her 18 months ago. In Loving Memory indeed. confused I can't help thinking that the only reason Max Clifford made a statement that her death wouldn't be televised in the first place was because he was sick of fending off the bloody bids.

It's interesting all the people who have commented on the newspapers, magazines, and the rest of 'The Media' interest in Jade Goody. And yet here we are talking about a 'z-list celebrity', not just on one, but on two separate threads.
The media exploit and make money out of our wants and desires. So who is really to blame?

dunno

im sorry.
But im sick of hearing about getting as bad when diana was killed.
She will not be the last person to have young children and be dying of cancer.
What makes me laugh is that people forget she was abusive and found out to be a racist on live tv.
She was very happy shouting her big mouth off wasn't she.
But now she is dying so what. I dont change my opinion just because she has cancer.I remember what she really was like before she was ill and i didnt like her then.
People like Jane tomlinson did more while suffering with cancer than jade also raised more money for charitys.
I dont care if people hate me for my view on least im honest about it and not 2 faced like most of the media are now shes dying.
And it wont be over when she is after book,tv programme after programme all with her criminal crazy people crying and leaving flowers all over the place acting like they really knew her.
And i wouldnt be surprised if all the money gets spent before the kids get to enjoy it.
But nothing should surprise people in this country.
We let michael jackson back in.
Apparently the issue was published with the full approval/support of her family. It's all about the money making isn't it?
Us commenting on the horrendous publicity monster that she is encouraging and promoting doesn't mean we think she is anything more than she is.
I feel for her and her family - a ghastly situation to be in, but I have to agree with others. She is milking it for entirely selfish purposes when other sufferers - with children to care about too, actually put some effort into helping others. Surely no-one is expected to be impressed? Good on her for trying to set her family up after her death but, for the love of God, grow some dignity.

Hiya Tyr, nice to see you back posting, hope you are feeling better.
There is another Jade thread on here, lots agree with you on that one, its a few pages down now.
This was posted to comment on the magazine really.
ok sorry.
yes the magazine is according to the press the goody family are happy with the cheque.
I really dislike jade, and find the press to be totally hypocritical, but I can see her logic in doing this. she's leaving two little ones behind, and she's making a lot of money from letting the press into her life right now. whatever money she makes will go towards making sure her kids don't go without once she's gone, and I think a lot of people would do the same if they sat down and thought about it.

So it looks like there will be no end to it now. Presumably the Jade Goody Trust will be set up. Her brats will become trustfarians, and we the public will be constantly reminded of their moronic endeavours.

All children have an inner brat lol, No child is perfect (no matter what some parents would have you believe rolleyes however unless you know the children in question then I think it is unfair to judge them.
