Jade Goody A Reader Apology: Exclusive To All Newspapers
OLD MR ANORAK is just returned from JADE – Journalists Against Dangerous Essumptions [sic] – and would now like to present a joint statement on the matter of Jade Goody.
Over the past years, readers may have fallen into the trap of perceiving Jade Goody as a bigoted, thick, in-bred, lumpish mentally negligible, sub-human porcine peasant.
It is sad that in this day and age so many readers should approach our word with their minds already set against brave Jade.
A moral dyslexia takes over their minds, leading to headlines such as “You Go, Jade” and “Jade is Our Britannia” being read as “Your Fat Bitch” and “We All Hate You, You Racist ****! Why Don’t You **** *** And Die”.
Now that Jade Goody is desperately ill, we only hope that readers begin to see that Jade is not only brave, courageous and the epitome of the Blitz Spirit but a role model.
It is not to late to repent, which is why for the next however many days or weeks or – let us hope - months (Arab –Israeli wars and/or Obama baby, notwithstanding) Jade continues to teach you the error of your ways from our front page.
We invite all readers to join our campaign to end reader bias by signing our campaign:
Though people might say Jade Goody is a fat, racist bully, I do not! And I never will (again)…

Jane
Not her illness, just the every last detail and total lack of dignity. Some things are best conducted in private.
March 4th, 2009 at 4:23 pm
I have the same initials as Jade, and happily I am healthy and wise, not particularly wealthy, I will comment that I am disappointed to read so much hatefulness as regards Jade’s illness.. I only hope she is not reading some of these awful blogs. How people can put to !!!paper!! the vicious comments herein.
If Jade does read this, I am thinking about you and your boys and will pray for you all and maybe a miracle will happen and you will be spared. God bless you.

I thought women get called in for regular smear tests, so I yake it that these women coming forward for tests aren’t registered with a G.P.

Wendy richard died with dignity why can this woman. Wendy was loved by more people she didnt sell her self dying in the papers she just spent time with her family. Jade should do the same thing.

Thatpoorpriest. What are you saying? That those who have a higher intellect must lower themselves to the level of the thickest idiot in the room if they do not want to seen as being patronising? So, an ignorant racist can bully a person using arguments solely based on the colour of that person’s skin and their own prejudices, yet if that person then tries to transcend that abuse through the use of their mind, moral value system and intellect, they are the ones in the wrong. What a twisted value system you have. Intellect and talent must cowtail to ignorance, racism and prejudice.
In that BB house there was a gaggle of talentless fishwives who set upon the talented Indian actress, a woman who at that time had starred in many bollywood films and who was famed for her elegant beauty. Add to that Goody’s mum who really attacked her in an overtly racist way. Yet Shilpa Shetti is in the wrong because she was ‘too clever’.
Always remember, who was Goody before she lost in the BB house? A talentless nobody who had pretty much failed at everything else in life by that stage and for whom the BB house was the last salvation. Well she got the fame she desired; life and now death in front of the camera. When does Max Clifford start selling tickects for the Jade Goody death xtravaganza? As soon as they are on the market I’ll be there, ready with my hard earned notes, and plenty of heckles and jeers to hand as she shakes off this mortal coil. Goody made her fame on abuse and mockery; why stop now?
If a chat magazine asks Goody to write a column, and they ask her to cover a heavy weight topic, what are they doing apart from mocking a vulnerable and afflicted soul. BB is itself a freak show and apparently they were made illegal two centuries ago now.

Of the 33 or so witches I know, most have groomed hair, in all shades/colours and lengths, apart from one who is bald, but he doesn’t care any more…..but he does wear sunscreen or a hat

she’s no more racist than anyone else. she was goaded like noone’s business in that big brother house by an arrogant person who had a far superior intellect, and knew it, and played on it. If jade were racist she wouldn’t have friends from minority groups, would she?

I agree lindsey. These are people who obviously wouldnt give a damn if it were their own parents, they can rant n rave all they like about jade, she lets her thoughts known to the public which i respect. Unlike you b******s who will only say it hiding behind your computer! I agree 100% with jade, i would do exactly what she is doing if it was me, if people are willing 2 pay so much out for interviews, pictures, videos etc etc then fair play 2 her! Jade has made so many women more aware and is saving alot of lives which does make her a great person, whatever she has done in the past means nothing, she is human just like all you idiots whether u think it or not and deserves all a lot more respect. Now have fun living your sad pathetic lives. Bitching at someone dying of cancer is disgusting and as for bob u say…” The sooner she is dead the better”… To me that makes u worse than being a racist u sick bastard!!!
February 24th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
So nothing too bloody then Bob (red carpet) or anything clashing….
February 24th, 2009 at 9:17 pm
If terminal illness is the new talent then it has got to be more exciting than just boring old cancer. I vote for leprosy and similar diseases that we throw our exhaultation at. What a nightmare that would mean for fashion designers. Clothes would have to have pull off parts as and when those particular limbs fall off; ideally, of course as this is celebrity, within the media glare of a red carpet.
February 24th, 2009 at 9:12 pm
I wondered how long before someone would eventually make a connection between our Maddie and our Jade!
Surprised Anorak aren’t making more of a meal of it; both are famous for twattish behaviour. McCanns for losing the kid, and Goody for losing, well, life.
February 24th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
Percy
Its very true court the media, and you court a bite on the bum at some stage.
Emma
Its talent or lack of it that makes and breaks a celebrity, but they do come two a penny these days. Or is a terminal illness the new talent?
February 24th, 2009 at 9:03 pm
I love the fact that everyone here is harping on about her undeserving celebrity status. Surely only one thing can make or break a celebrity and that’s the attention given to them by the public and their interest in them.
You say that she shouldn’t be in the spotlight and yet you are the very people who put her there with your interest - whether positive or negative.
I suppose all the people in the glass houses are casting stones again.
February 24th, 2009 at 8:33 pm
yous are all a disgrace talkin bout jade like that she is verry ill and not goin to make it, you wouldnt be sayin that if it wiz u or some1 in ur familly, have sum sympathy she has 2 little boys to think bout i would do the same to make sure my kids had money to bring them up,
Moderator In English please
February 24th, 2009 at 8:20 pm
…and I will take your good advice seriously…I agree, June….too much rubber necking will cause another fatal car crash…it is physics you see..
February 24th, 2009 at 8:07 pm
June…remember when I said the publicity with Maddie could somehow make her parents look grim & ugly….maybe the same could be said for the Jade Goody Celebrity Cancer Tragedy…which is a shame because I can see the lovely side to Jaded Goodies…she is not criminal..she is terminal.
February 24th, 2009 at 7:38 pm
She marries a criminal, a guy who she dumped last year due to his infidelity. She indicated last year when she broke up with him that she was more like his mother than his lover. And she wants her criminal husband in her children’s lives? I don’t blame Jeff Brazier for kicking up a stink about it. I wouldn’t want my kids exposed to someone like Jack Tweed. edited
February 24th, 2009 at 7:38 pm
When I referred to Goody as being half way there to be being burnt as a witch with her bald head, it was in reference to the custom of shaving witches heads prior to burning them.
Let us never forget that she is an ignorant racist bigot, either consciously or subconsciously through comments like,”East Angular? That’s abroad innit?” and obviously it is easy for someone to apologise when they are caught out and have everything to lose.
She has made far far more than she deserves through her unashamed ignorance. What happened to the old fashioned value that if someone was famous, they had a talent for which they were famous for? This woman shot to fame as a loser, and ever since she has become more and more of a loser until this, the televised death she is doing for her kids. No wonder Jack Tweed said he would push her hospital bed down the aisle if necessary, after all, as a spouse, he will be entitled to a few quid. Those kids of Goody’s will never see a penny of the money. Tweed, the publicist and the rest of the ‘team’ will see it before they do.
The sooner she is dead the better, and then maybe we can have some sense of raitonality about whom we swathe in our adulation.
There is one positive that we can possibly salvage: A National Jade Goody Day. Any excuse for a day off work to get pissed down the pub and fucked up on drugs later.
February 24th, 2009 at 6:44 pm
Well, I very much doubt it, but her PR people might…
February 24th, 2009 at 6:10 pm
Does anyone think JG spends her time reading what we say?
I can only imagine the Media does but not JG.
But no doubt I shall be pilloried, but now I think its time JG retired from celebdom and spend her remaining time with her flesh and blood.
There is such a thing as voyeurism and exhibitionism, and I shall avert my gaze, in real life I don’t rubber neck, and I shall not in cyber life
