    Jade Goody passes away

    She wasn't my cup of tea, but still I feel for her family and what a day to go - Mothers Day

    RIP Jade.

    Re: Jade Goody passes away

    Never been overly keen on her but wouldn't wish cancer on anyone, of all the days to go, I feel for her family. My wife really likes her however.

    At least she is at peace now

    Exactly.

    I think since she got cancer a lot of people have softened their opinions of her.

    Come on matt, whilst it was on the front-page everyday. I think the use of her as a public example, will get more people to take cancer seriously. plus I for one will have a check-up and feel many people will as well.

    Re: Jade Goody passes away

    Also the media attention was purely an exercise in financial gain - but for the right reasons. However I don't think all the money in the world makes up for not having a mother when you're growing up.

    Re: Jade Goody passes away

    To me, this was just another example of how crap the media is lately. They could have chosen to focus on the issue of cervical cancer years ago, but no, instead they have to wait till some "celebrity" gets sick before they give a crap, and I bet in 6 months time (beyond the obligatory "whatever happened to the Jade story" story it'll never get mentioned again)

    I've got enough people in my life to worry and care about without their stupid "ooh let's feel sorry for her because she's famous stories".

    +1 on this

    I do feel sorry for her and her family but no more or less so than the rest of the world suffering with similar diseases.

    Re: Jade Goody passes away

    Just to echo what Matty Hodgson said - I couldn't stand her before the cancer cash in, nothing has changed since then apart from a slight increase in my dislike for her and the magazines that supported her.

    I know all too well what a devastating illness cancer is, my dad died from it and my brother survived it, and I'm all for raising awareness, but when it's a blatant cash in on a horrible disease like that, then I've got no sympathy whatsoever for her. Harsh? Maybe. How I feel? Yes.

    I do have great sympathy for her kids though, but at least they still have a Dad to look after them.

    Re: Jade Goody passes away

    Guys, I just hope most people take something from this. Like most I didn't care about cancer, till jade had it. It's made me more aware that enough is not being done to prevent and treat suffers. Yes it does take someone in the public eye, but i feel jade has done a good a thing allowing it to be publicised.
