Jade Goody, not much time left

[Fenster]

I don't really know why she is hated so much. In a way I kind of admire what she has achieved.

She came from nothing, living on a council estate, thick as shit with no prospects, was on a reality show along with dozens of others of wannabes but unlike virtually all of the rest of them she managed to build a successful career out of it.

When you think of all the hundreds of reality stars that have been created now in the UK she was the only one who managed to turn it into a winning financial windfall for herself.

Amazingly she wrote a series of books all of which were big sellers, she made her own perfume range which was a best seller and she even turned her mother and fiance into reality tv stars in their own right.

She behaved badly on the celebrity version but really that's just her upbringing, you stick a common as muck person on tv how do you expect them to behave?

To all those who hate her or begrudge her success I don't really understand it. She came from a background where she had zero prospects and managed against the odds to become famous and make a stack of money.

Why should we begrudge her that, jeoulousy? I dunno

Now she's dying of cancer tragically at only 27 and there are thousands of people who seemingly applaud the idea and make jokes about it.

That I really don't understand. I mean for all her very public faults, cheering the death of someone dying of cancer wasn't one of them.

I simply don't understand the logic of people who think she's trash and a scumbag and therefore they can think its funny that she's dying, and that this laughing at someone dying of cancer doesn't make them lower on the human rating scale then her. Because as far as I see it, it clearly does.

Well said Bilbo.

You must be part of the silver spoon mob, or blatantly jealous of the fame/dough, to revel in someone like thats death.
