Jillyanne Posted 17 February, 2009 Share Posted 17 February, 2009 My colleague died aged 30 last week of pancreatic cancer (yes I know Jade does not have the same cancer) and it is very very sad to die at such a young age.

Weston Super Saint Posted 17 February, 2009 Share Posted 17 February, 2009 what are you on about...this very subject has been on alot of the radio talk sbows...local and national asking this very question..? FWIW I agree with you. I find [found, in the past tense before she became terminally ill, too], the women to be vile and a pretty damn good indicator of all that is wrong with this country! For her to get national TV coverage of her plight is morally reprehensible [iMHO], and I for one couldn't care less about it!! Yes, it's sad that she's leaving behind some children, but they have other family members that can [and maybe will], look after them. And guess what, she isn't the first, and nor will she be the last person in the country to die of "Kaaanccaaa". It happens, people die - in fact apart from the Government wanting taxes from you, it is the only other certainty in this life!! - get over it, and spend your remaining time on this planet with your loved ones, rather than parading yourself all over the TV. Despite what Ponty thinks, this TV program will help absolutely no-one on the planet, except to satisfy Goody's ego! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponty Posted 17 February, 2009 Share Posted 17 February, 2009 By "Whatever gets you through the day", I mean that I just can't see a single, valid reason to knock her. Yes, she's clearly not the most intelligent or articulate of people, Channel 4 made sure we all knew that, in glorious edit-o-vision, but she seems to be honest and open about her motives for bringing the story to TV now. If you want to blame anyone for her mug being all over the news, the papers and the TV, blame the society which swallows all the crap the media churns out, don't blame a dying woman for wanting to provide the best possible future for her, soon to be motherless, sons. I think it's crass and churlish to want to find fault in anyone doing that, but if that's ok with you (and, from the experience of the thread that popped up when she was originally diagnosed, we know that's how this one's going to go) then you go for it. I wouldn't presume to tell you how to feel about something. This is a messageboard, not Communist China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyFartPants Posted 17 February, 2009 Share Posted 17 February, 2009 I haven't spent long reading or looking into the Goody sad story as I tend to allow these kind of stories to eat away at me. The other day something was said to me that JG had an abnormal smear test and was sent a letter to go back for another one and she didn't bother. I am not saying it is her fault at all but if her televised ordeal now serves to educate just one other woman about the the perils of this disease then it has served it's purpose, and if it helps secure a better future for her children along the way then that's okay in my book too.

Ludwig Posted 17 February, 2009 Share Posted 17 February, 2009 Don't be a bunch of c*nts. She has come out and stated that she wants her kids to have the opportunities that she didn't - foremost being an education. She has unashamedly said that she will make whatever money she can in her last few months for them to have this. Fair play to her. Her intentions are impeccable despite what you think of her. If that was me, I'd do the same and I wouldn't give a sh*t what a bunch of mugs on an internet forum thought of me. If the opportunity was there for you to do the same for your family and you'd had her upbringing, don't tell me you wouldn't jump at the chance. Don't forget that, for her, reality TV saved her life. It got her out of her ****ty life and gave her opportunities. Why should she not turn to this in her dying days. It is the place where she feels comfortable; happy. I'm sure if thedelldays were dying, he'd want to spend at least a few of his last days hedonistically confined to a small cabin with sweaty men.

ozzmeister Posted 17 February, 2009 Share Posted 17 February, 2009 I think im in the fair play to her camp. I think its an awful thing that a human being with so much energy and zest for life can be struck down at such a young age. She has been a good mother, supportive wife, charity worker. Yes she has her downfalls but so do we all. I for one will be a little sad when Jade Goody is gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living in an environment in which a great education is not the norm, it's difficult to place priority on such a thing, the importance of it is something realised later in life - which she obviously now has.

I really wouldn't care less what she did or didn't do with her life, as long as every other bloody advert on the tellybox didn't have her ugly mug on it!! Sky reported that "awareness" of cervical cancer in girls of school age had increased by "200%" since Jade's announcement. And to be honest, I dont care how much people think someone is a ****; if you see someone on TV, in a newspaper... or in "real life" dying of cancer, you WILL be more aware of it yourself and check yourself/have yourself checked more, even that only lasts for a few months whilst it is in the media. That is only human nature. As for the comment about her in adverts, I can honestly say I dont recall seeing her in a advert in last 3 years. I either watch less TV that you WSS, or I dont watch the channels that pay her to be in their programs. Dont shout at the system if you are part of the problem.
