personally i think the only thing we should all be doing is switching off.
this is what C4 and CBB have only dreamt of.
Jade too will turn it round, lots of PR/column inches for her.

Aloha · 18/01/2007 15:25

Yes, it's exactly the kind of behaviour that scares and confuses most men (unless they are Pete Burns).

compo · 18/01/2007 15:26

Aloha - it's not just Heat and exercise videos though. Her perfume is the best selling in th UK and she's got a beauty salon and had 2 TV shows. That's what makes it even worse - she isn't as thick as she comes across

LittleSarah · 18/01/2007 15:26

Aitch - yes I see what you mean, it is better than culture clash...

Aloha · 18/01/2007 15:30

I think the fact that quite a lot of people want to smell like Jade depresses me more than anything.

Last night i was saying to dh, 'oh, but those harpies don't really represent our culture'.....then the ads came on! Aaargh. The magazine ad made me want to emigrate in shame. When exactly did England become so grim and coarse and sleazy?

CoozerP · 18/01/2007 15:30

What I want to know is, who is buying a perfume by Jade Goody!!!!

Aloha · 18/01/2007 15:31

Jeremy Paxman restored my faith slightly.

Aloha · 18/01/2007 15:31

And Desperate Housewives was very funny... but that's not ours.

compo · 18/01/2007 15:32

and people buy her videos so they must want to look like her!!

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 18/01/2007 15:32

Hmm. Eau de Flatulence. And nobody now I shouldn't wonder!

expatinscotland · 18/01/2007 15:33

I posted on another thread about how I'd happily sell my soul, if I believed in such a construct, for that bathtub Susan and Ian were soaking in last night night on 'Desperate Housewives'.

LowFatMilkshake · 18/01/2007 15:35

Does anyone else wonder if Jade is evicted if it will be through the big doors and passed the crowd, or will they try to protect her and take her out some side exit.

Personally I think she should get everything that's coming to her, make her walk through the crowd, and be pelted with rotten veg like in "Ye Olde Days" as was treatment for the village idiot!

dotcotton · 18/01/2007 15:35

This is not to do with racism or jade, i just want you all to sneer at Danielle with me;

From wikipedia -

Lloyd made a memorable appearance on BBC One's Test the Nation. When asked "Who was Winston Churchill - a rapper, US President, the PM or King?", Lloyd answered "Wasn't he the first black president of America? There's a statue of him near me - that's black."[8]

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 18/01/2007 15:36

PMSL Dot, yes Davina made reference to that when she went in...

compo · 18/01/2007 15:36

Milkshake - I think they search the crowd for missiles. They haven't ever protected a housemate coming out like Grace for exapmle, so I doubt they will Friday night

doormat · 18/01/2007 15:37

LMAO lowfat

sigh because then davinia will come on all sweetness and light
she is another rank one

mummylin2495 · 18/01/2007 15:40

can see no reason why she should be protected,if she gives all this abuse she has to be able to take it and in this instance she deserves all she gets

LucyJones · 18/01/2007 15:44

But again, is it right to treat bullying with more bullying?

OP posts:
mummylin2495 · 18/01/2007 15:46

i just think that the public need to make her aware of what a hated person she has become and im sure they will.sorry but in my estimation she deserves it

AitchTwoOh · 18/01/2007 15:46

dot...

Cashncarry · 18/01/2007 15:48

I'm afraid I can't agree with those who say that it's ok to abuse Jade et al because of their behaviour. Two wrongs don't make a right.

In fact, I had to stop reading the other CBB thread because some of the personal comments made me feel a bit uncomfortable...

LucyJones · 18/01/2007 15:49

I think ti would be far better to show the housemates the headlines from this week and then say as a direct result Jade, Jo and Danielle please leave the BB house and they will have no chance of having their big night.
Public houndings just don't sit well with me at all. There are easier ways of making people aware of their actions. Giving them more publicity isn't one of them.
