But when she has cancer (a life threatening illness, that not only she has got but 1000's around the world have) and remains insistent on getting her mug on the front page of every paper, magazine and tv - earning cash, whether it be herself or her family, when all these sufferers are practically begging in their local community to scrape enough together to fly to america for treatment or whatever the case may be is down right disgusting.

Emma Louise Clittie - Her Fight Against Childhood Cancer, Neuroblastoma

This little girl lives not far from me and is a friend of a friend. Their family needed to raise £200,000 to get her treatment. Her parents have tried everyway possible, even made it on Granada news in a desperate attempt to Jade gets that for selling her pointless wedding in a magazine. Will this cash go to needy cases like the one above? I think not.

I believe my view to be entirely correct and will not keep it to myself, it would be wrong of me or anyone else to do so.

Who pays Jade all the money she has? Why don't the papers pay money to that family instead of Jade? Why aren't all the other cancer sufferers on the front page of every newspaper? Surely if its that easy that a thick imbecile like Jade can do it so can they.

WRONG. Its because those families won't make those papers money but Jade Goody will. Because like it or not people buy those papers because they want to read about Jade Goody.

Or does Max Clifford force them at gun point to run stories on her but no one else?

I'm not bothered if you think Jade is selfish, yes it would be nice if she could donate some of the money she is getting to other sufferers like you say. But a simple "i think she is selfish" would suffice. Not that venom and hatred that gets spewed out towards her from some people because they don't like the fact she gets so much media coverage, the vast majority of she really has no control over from her bed.
 
I think there are 3 main thrusts to this as far as I can see it:

The media's behaviour is pretty much as one would expect, hypocritical and fickle. Sanctifying a woman they were more than happy to vilify before they found out she was ill.

Jade, and Max Clifford, are playing this for all they are worth, her only talent is circumstance. That is, she is not famous for anything other than the circumstances she has found herself in, and while there is a market for this, she - and her advisors will exploit it. It is more than a little distasteful that the circumstances which are deemed appropriate to exploit include life-threatening illnesses, but that's modern society - if there wasn't a market....
The flip side being many campaigners saying that, quite frankly any publicity around screening and awareness is good publicity, and the recent rise in screening appointments, particularly amongst younger women.

The money. While I can understand Jade wanting to ensure that her family (particularly her sons) are well provided for, there would appear to be a couple of issues:
1) She is now married, her sons will be looked after by their father, not Jade's new husband, any speculation on where the money will eventually go, will be just that - speculation - but I wouldn't be masively surprised to see a heavily publicised legal battle in a few months / years time.
2) Where money is being funneled into some fund for the well being of whoever comes out on top in point 1, it isn't going to more deserving causes - such as MacMillan Nurses, or CRUK, or even to individual cases where there is greater need.
3) She has enough money, and this disease doesn't need to be turned into an industry.

There is enough there to explain why people do get riled about the circus currently being perpetuated in the media. Personally, I don't have any more of a problem with the girl than I did when she was a perfectly healthy indictment of modern society's obsession with the dysfunctional.

It'll all go away to be replaced with another circus shortly - where there's a market.....

I do not really see that much venom being spewed apart from her being called vermin but that's a matter of opinion.

Jade goody = Vermin and maybe its karma that she got cancer are just two venomous view points aimed at Jade in the Jade Goody thread. That is enough to go on with would'nt you think??

Oh damn, i said that was my final word.

I. Missed the karma thing so I apologize. That is my last word.

Different thread but very similar in principal. You claim Jade Goody is cashing in but the one answer i want answering that seems to have been evaded is how will she spend all this money?? The girl will be dead probably in less than two months. That really sounds like Goody is getting all this money through her own greed. Jumping to conclusions has also been one of several crimes commited by your good self and others by wishing her to put money to cancer charities which she most likely will do. This is my final word on this because i wish to avoid further unpleasantries and unnecessary fall outs.

Answer (again): she isnt, her kids will, on massive houses and sports cars and flash weddings which they will sell to OK and the Mirror because they are Jade's kids thus making them more money.

She's dead, with all this money in the bank, whilst 1000's of people without the proverbial piss pot are just having to see out their time without a chance.

I think I mentioned it ages ago in that other Jade thread where I called her vermin, if she does turn around and publicly donate a huge sum to charity, I'll hold my hands up, as for now my view will not budge.

Also please tell me so I know for future debates, what are the several crimes have I committed, just so I dont come across as ignorant or childish?

Jumping to conclusions has also been one of several crimes commited by your good self and others. Plural, meaning you and several others have commited crimes, not based on you alone making several crimes but collectively.

I'm a CRIMINAL
Cuz every time I write a rhyme, these people think it's a crime
to tell em what's on my mind - I guess I'm a CRIMINAL
but I don't gotta say a word, I just flip 'em the bird
and keep goin', I don't take **** from no one
 
God if I was made King of the World that Clifford would be first infront of the firing squads.

What a pathetic, disgusting, miserable, maggot waste of life.

I think if you jump to conclusions the only punishment to fit the crime is Death by Sniper.
