Jade Goody parks in disabled bay...

Anyone seen this week's OK! There is a pic of Jade Goody clearly parked in a disabled bay which OK! dismisses with 'what a naughty girl!'.

I know I am in danger of getting OTT and militant about this issue but I don't think that is an acceptible attitude for a magazine to be portraying. It is sending a message that it is just a bit cheeky and not that it is totally unfair and inconsiderate. Grrr

reply from OK magazine....

Hi Lisa
Point taken. I don't think we meant to be flippant but to gently chastise
her - but you're right and we'll be more careful in future. Parking in
disabled bays is certainly not something we would like to endorse or
encourage.

hitc I emailed the editor and then got an out of office reply so I sent it again to the deputy editor - so that she is the sender of the email I recieved.

I had an out of office reply from the editor too, but me thinks I will re send to the deputy editor now.

Just resent my complaint to the deputy editor and had exactly the same reply (word for word) as Eidsvold - so they have obviously received a number of complaints and are churning out a stock reply - lets hope they have received thousands of complaints

Ah , exactly the same for me Merlot.

I might email back and ask how many complaints they have had. Also don't feel their response is particularly satisfactory. They shouldn't be 'gently chastising' her but 'utterly condemning'!
