Jade Goody's Funeral

[Jukebox Jury]

Oof, imagine if she rose again in some massive hoax on Easter Sunday!

Love PTxx.

Arise Saint Jade!!

On a similar note..... the headlines before she died were saying
'Mummy's going to heaven'
'I'm ready for heaven' etc.

A bit presumptious isn't it. I thought it was god (or St Peter) who decided who gets in, not Princess Jade'
She had never once mentioned religion, but weeks before her passing, she gets the kids christened and marrys in church and then some god bothering vicar or priest starts talking about her as a saint and princess

That would be the best PR stunt EVER!!!!

[Hellie]

Ahhh, but is she though
How long will it be before the rumours that she faked her death surface?
How long before the ''I swear I saw Jade Goody in Morrisons, down the tinned vegetables aisle'' headlines

This is actually a scarily real possibility.

I know a chap that swore he saw Elvis at our local Social club.

He does like magic mushrooms though so his reliability is somewhat shady at best.

Some people found your signature image was rather offensive.
Thanks for removing it.

ONE person found it offensive. For no obvious reason.

Anyway, it's gone.

As Alan would say, "Honestly, some people!"

That's bullshit, no way was Elvis in your social club.
He was in my local chinese takeaway

One person complained about it on the thread, maybe more sent complaints in to Kewpie's hotline
Personally I thought it was funny.

You don't KNOW that she "never" mentioned religion,JJ.
Also,many dying people find comfort in religion.

A film COULD be good:it is a great story:both her personal one and then the media surrounding her.
Would depend on script and direction.
However,if it was just a cheap cash- in low budget/no brainer,then could be a a disaster .

I read her book when it came out the other year. She does not mention religion.
I have no problem with people finding religion in such circumstances, however, I'm pretty sure genuine christians who strive to be faithful to their god every day in the hope that they will go to heaven, must be cheesed off to find out that actually you can shag, drink and generally have a good time on earth and then in the final hours, ''find god and then expect to go to heaven''.
Yet that pillock vicar / priest seems to think she is deserving
Thankfully I have no religion at all.

Repent your sins at the end:that's the best idea.Have fun and no need to pay for it
(none of that religion stuff is for real,anyway).
Why were you reading Jade's book?
What impression did you get from that of her?

In the name of Jayziz, why?!?!?!?

Oh come on..... of course I didn't read the book....
It was just a good answer to the question 'how do you know she didn't have religion'

[sinead]

thanks for the brooker link.

I personally am confused how I feel about the whole thing. I feel really sad that someone has died and that she was so young. and I did find Jade endearing in that she was so human and made mistakes but clearly was striving to just find some happiness. On the other hand the whole coverage is bizarre. It does beg the question though that why would the papers spend so much time covering it if people didn't want to read the coverage?

It is easy to blame the media, and of course they may be blameworthy, but perhaps the public's hunger for the story is what was driving them?

Not true.
