    They're either desperate for stories, or standards have dropped
    alarmingly...

    I'm just watching the news and there's just been an announcement that
    Jade Goodie (former Big Brother winner) has been diagnosed with
    cervical cancer and has immediately pulled out of Indian Big Brother
    and returned to UK.

    How is that important to anyone other than mutant pondlife?

    I know BBC standards had dropped, but FFS!

    I bet Kate Silverton feels dirty after having to announce that
    rubbish. I'm more than a little miffed and disgusted.

    Accurate prediction of readers' interests. Go down to "Most Popular
    Stories Now". The most read is the one about Jade Goody.

    Just what I was thinking.
    I'm going to the loo, I might be quite some time.

    Personally I don't care if she lives or dies but a lot of people do
    care. If you're not capable of accepting that without posting to an
    internet newsgroup to complain then perhaps you need to join Des in
    the queue for new medication...

  10. Personally, I think it's a cynical move to ge back into the spotlight.

    Or to get out of the Indian Big Brother before she makes a tit of
    herself again. Nice sympathy angle too, should help restore her to the
    hearts of the Closer/Heat readership.

    "TV Racist, Jade Goody" becomes "Brave Jade To Speak At Cancer Charity"

    So you enjoyed your brush with the big C then, eh? Waiting for the
    biopsy results must have been a laugh a minute.

  13. I thought she'd gone in there to make it look like she wasn't a racist
    and how much she loves Indians really "'cos I luv a curry, innit". I
    notice the presenter of the Indian show was called Shetty as well.
    Coincidence?
    Unfortunately, that type of readership are too thick to see what's
    really happening and read between the lines.

    It's the same Shetty.

    They're both as bad as each other and they deserve the success they're
    rewarded with.

    My posts only distract you from it. Rumour has it my emails can cure
    it.
