Does it really need to be said that much.....

Most of you have been watching or reading the news this week and there is one story which i am starting to get tired of. Jade Goody has been told she has around 2 months to live due to cancer, sad story, yes, news worthy, yes. It is an emotive story she has young kids who wont understand why and shes using her last few moments to marry her partner. Beautiful. to constantly have it in the papers and in the news is outrageous.

Front page of the sun yesterday said how she is being brave shopping for a wedding dress. She isn't being brave she is doing what any other person would do in the circumstances, go and spend as much money as possible. The full story showed a picture of her in a wheel chair. Sad to look at, but not so sad when you look at the picture of Emporio Armani next to it.

I'm not saying I hate Jade Goody, nor am I saying that no one cares. But what on earth has she honestly done for the country. A thick sponge is put onto a reality T.V show and automatically gains celebrity status. The loud mouthed beaver gets put on the show again and tries to get more attention but making unintelligent and completely unimaginative racist, if you call it racist, remarks to a bollywood puppet. A huge media uproar started just because a slightly pale smurf stated a tasty yet dry indian snack after the name of an indian woman. Rediculous.

All i'm trying to say is if it were Sir David Attenborough in Goody's position, i would be upset and i would expect large coverage because he is a pure british legend and has actually done something for the respectable public. Goody appeared on Big Brother.

I was upset when Steve Irwin died, he did something. I was upset when Heath Ledger died, he did something. I was upset when Bob Munkhouse died, he did something. If keith chegwin died I would also be upset. But Jade has done sweet sod all apart from being stupid. It's upsetting yes, and I know i'm probably being rather cruel, but a page or two in a paper for 1 day would have been enough to make me go "aw thats quite sad", now it's getting rediculous.

Now a little more for paper stupidity. Front page of the mirror today states " Jade to get her dream wedding". Ahem, sorry did it just say "dream" wedding. I don't think her dream wedding involved her being pushed down the isle in a medical wheel chair on the drip thank you. I will take her side for this. I'm sorry her "dream" wedding, i'm pretty sure cancer didn't come into the equasion when her and her partner were thinking of the idea. Not only that they put a picture of her wedding location which actually looks beautiful.

Why isn't she putting money into cancer research? Why isn't she doing talks on how she has tried fighting it? She is winging and moaning about her cancer, but has she forgotten about the other 100's of thousands of people who also suffer? Attention seeking once again, still not caring about the other members of society.
