To not want to hear an update on Jade Goody in every single news bulletin?

It is sad when young women are diagnosed with terminal cancer. It is sad when these women are mothers.

HOWEVER, I do not want Sky News to flash to the hospital to show her wedding dress arriving. I do not want to hear that she wants Girls Aloud to play at her wedding. I do not want to hear every single bloody thing that she is doing.

I understand that she wants to make money for her boys, and I appreciate that. But surely there are more important things going on in the world?

I don't have any ill feelings towards her personally, I just feel sorry for those who are in a similar situation but who don't get the publicity. There are many many families out there coping with this and it must be like a kick in the guts for them to see this on every news bulletin or newspaper front page.

I dont understand how you can say whats shes doing is odd tbh. Until you are facing death who knows how you will deal with things. As for BB that was more like girls being bitchy and maybe bullying but not racism. If you watch any celeb big brother they is almost alot of bitch stabbing and ganging up. Jade has a temper and doesnt think before she speaks. It amazes me how people can begrudge someone in her situation. She raisiing awareness and if anything seeing how determind she is has inspired me. Watching her doc has actually showed me what cancer can really do to people , their friends and family.
