Katie Price in Lincoln today

[GabbyLoggon]

There was a 300 yard queue outside the bookshop 3 hours before she is due for the signing at 5pm today. I can see why she is worth £30m. Jordan really knows how to work our fame culture in England. Is she BIG in other countries?

But she is not a good role model - look at how she sexualises her looks, has her little girl wearing make up, slags off her ex. Who is she a good role model for? Page 3 girls??

Oh and look at how she shouts about her money, and is so materialistic. All a bit bizarre.

She's a British version of trailer trash. No, she's not big in the US, they produce enough trailer trash faked out 'celebs' as it is.

Aitch - I think you need to calm down - why so bull at a gate and comparing her to Hitler

Are you wanting to flame this thread?

Why not get impassioned about faked out, nasty tit 'models' becoming 'role models' for young girls?

I'm a mother to young girls, and creatures like Jordan/Katie disgust me to the core.

Nasdaq - but people like her.

And yes, dumbed-down and thick. Indicative of dumbed-down, thick society.

I didn't say I admired her or wanted any of my children to emulate her (god forbid!) , it is just too easy to take a pot at her and she has done little of merit. However, people still watch her shows, she still sells herself and has made a success of it.

Why does someone like Hugh Hefner and his bunnygirls avoid the vitriol that is spared for the likes of KP??

Some people like Islamic extremist clerics, or Nick Griffin, too. Some people are admirers of imprisoned serial killers and child murderers.

'Why does someone like Hugh Hefner and his bunnygirls avoid the vitriol that is spared for the likes of KP?? '

Oh, there's plenty of that. It's just that you probably don't see that much of it on this side of the pond, being that he and his rabbits are in the US.

Expatinscotland - so you're on this bandwagon too of calling anyone thick who has an alternative opinion to yourself?

i think you're confusing anger with eloquence, there, animation.

so yes, anyway, nice sidestep but can you go back and answer my questions about what it is that you find admirable about a soft pornographer?

btw i didn't compare katie price to hitler, what an extraordinarly crass interpretation that is.

I think the people who have a go about Jorden need to see the problem is not Katie Price herself it is the fact that the morals of this country and that things that people should see as shameful are not only excepted but championed.

When someone like this is the role model for a generation it shows how messed up it is.

That said, she is a very astute business woman and knows how to milk the stupidity of the general public

It's not a bandwagon, Animation. But yes, I find people who like her and patronise her to be, in my own personal experience, thick. Others have opinions different from mine all the time and are not necessarily thick at all. For example, my father, a very intelligent man, agrees with capital punishment.

Whilst I find capital punishment to be costly barbarism, that doesn't mean all those who agree with it are thick.

In the case of Jordan fans, however, again, I haven't met any in real life whom I wouldn't consider a bit thick.

i think you'll find i have already mentioned the implications for society, runawaywife. but yes, i agree, it's horrifying that people are queueing up in their hundreds to get a woman to sign a book she admits she hasn't bothered to read.

Aitch - says the sidestepper who's bringing Hitler into this.{hmm]

She also admits she did not write them

most tv reality 'stars' have major following now. it's like the truman show. does kp do any soft porn now? she's hardly well known for that now.

think it's a little rude to call people thick if they watch her shows.

but the girls that are there at her book signings are there because their mothers take them surely,
so blame the mothers for being a bit thick
and encouraging this worship.

i dont watch her on the telly, have only terrestial tv, but i wouldnt anyway, i dont know much about her, dont read tabloids, i am not completely anti her. look at jodie marsh, she is a freak.
but dont blame the girls, blame their mothers

agree with expats last post.

Everyone I have ever known who thinks KP/Jordan is a role model/strong woman/goodbusiness woman is intolerably stupid.
They generally aspire to look like her; have hair extensions, fake nails, orange skin and/or fake boobs too large for their frame.

'nuff said

I am not a fan and I am not stupid, but come on you have to admit the amount of money she has made make her bloody manipulative good at making money

oh and all said women have bought some inappropriate item of clothing for a Dd under 8, such as tight hotpants with a slogan on the bum "cute buns" or some other such sexualising comment

i didn't call people who watch her shows thick, not at all. i have watched them, and judging by the twittered and fb'd outrage and hilarity over the wedding show that was on last week, many of my very brightest friends watch her too.

i distinctly said that anyone who finds her admirable is a bit thick.

now, do you want me to go over what i said about hitler getting a lot done, animation, as you seem to have failed to grasp the point?

She has made a lot of money yes

I know someone who has to watch her show for work.
