Guess when Jade Goody dies & win an iPod

Come on people, read the blurb on the link ffs.
This is NOT about cancer, this is about her using cancer to line her pockets. Why can't she raise awareness for cancer charities or something & get a bit of respect before she croaks it?
Millions have & will die of the big C every year. Jade fucking Goody aint the first or only person in the world ever to get it, like she's making out.

fair enough mate, have a read of the previous posts though, thats not the point, no argument that its nothe best choice in the world but the girl's on her arse big time, just imagine whats goin on in her head, its hardly a good time to be making good-valued life choices.
fuck it anyway, im not trying to stick up for her, just saying its not nice to keep reading the cheap piss-taking gags when theres obviously been a few peopple who have said theyd rather not hear it.

I'm sorry, whilst I didn't mean to deliberately offend anyone that the big C has touched I realise I didn't stop to consider that I might just do that so a genuine & heartfelt sorry from me for being insensitive or offending anyone on here.
I posted this thread as the website seemed to take the freak circus that is Jade Goody to it's natural conclusion (in fact it probably hasn't given the coverage in the past few days)... I seriously wouldn't wish this disease on anyone (even Jade Goody) but even United Dairies would be impressed with the milking it's had.... I know everyone is different and I hope I don't come across as sanctimonious but if I was ever in the same situation I'd want my final days to be surrounded by my loved ones rather than instructing Max Clifford to arrange another photoshoot...

Now now don't be gay no need for an apology it was a joke!
People will just use the title of the thread to bang on about whatever they want anyway...its how this thing works
Love to the Shoomington

U31 - bad day?
then dont read it. Simple innit.
Ok you have a sense of humuor failure, but i aint. Shooms aint.
Fuck, i wet me pants with laughter when me mate nearly cut his leg off with a 9 inch angle grinder, down to the marrow it went, another 2 mm and amputation city. pissed me pants when my other mate went through the bone of my finger with a hacksaw.
If ya dont laugh you'll cry.
Like everyone else I've seen stuff that would make your hair curl, i been through stuff that makes you wish you hadn't been born. I've watched people die. I watched family die. Like most folk i just pick meself up, think "well that was shit" and get on with the job.
If ya think im takin a pop, your wrong. If ya think im tellin ya to lighten up yer fuckin right.
If you think that i think that Goody and Clifford are milking this for every brass centime possible....... fill in the blank yourself.
Ha ha Miss C, bad life love, but don't let this ole shite written on here fool ya, if ya meet me you'll prolly agree that i'm up for anything for giggles out in the real world if it ain't spiteful or hurting someone....
fair play shooms, sure you feel stuck bang in the middle here, and without trying to validate your link lol - where even though some of us didnt agree, got answered in the right way i thought - its more the follow-ups who still wanna get the wise-cracks in knowin people have reacted, and reacted through it been a bit too close to the bone.
peace lol.
I don't do snuff, i don't do porn, i don't do Ken Bigley gettin' his head took off sites.
Rather a strange assumption to imagine that i do?
I get my giggles from good mates and great situations. Good comedy.
That i learned to find the humour in the face of horror and adversity isn't that unusual either. It's a coping mechanism.
Anyhow its rapidly descending in to a slanging match here so that's the last i'm gonna say on this.

I'm still searching for the humour in this.
The website is not funny, it is just a spiteful rant against someone they don't like. Just by adding "win an Ipod" does not suddenly mean it will win the Perrier Award.
Mocking someone with a terminal disease out of nothing but pure spite is just a cheap shot to me.
I agree that gallows humour and laughter in the face of adversity are coping mechanisms and can be really inspiring and funny. Besides the humour is supposed to come from those facing adversity or those close to them. I don't think childish spiteful people sniping from the sidelines about someone's terminal illness comes under the coping mechanism description.
Personally, I just don't see that with this one.

Hello all, i don't come on Osser really anymore, but i do occasionaly have a little look at what is going on.
I think what AntF is trying to say is that he can't understand why people continue to and actually step up the levels of hatred when a quite a few people have said that they don't like it. I appreciate that many feel they have the right to say whatever the fuck they like, but the way i see it is this. OSA is a really great community forum that has stood the test of time down to the hard work of members keeping it going. Its like any friendship group- without respect and shiz then it will just fall to pieces. This does not mean that people can't post their opinions, but surley on a subject as emotive as cancer then do so in a manner that is not going to hurt others feelings when they have already said you are already doing so. You just don't do that when you're amongst freinds that for whatever personal reason don't find it funny. If you were in the pub and one of your circle of friends asked you to stop, you would- its no different here. Unless of course you don't see the other members as your mates and you have a 'fuck it' attitude, in which case thank God everyone else doesn't otherwise OSA would be far different forum from the place it is now.
As for Jade Goody, i really am not her biggest fan. She is fame hungry and has pimped her ass out at every opportunity for cash. But that is all i hate her for, as i really find it hard to hate someone for being uneducated, or naturally stupid- its not really her fault. In some ways i do admire her for breaking the cycle- it would have been so easy for her to have lived in a council house on income support and had kids that just do the same, and the grandkids the same- but hey, perhaps not in the most talented way she got out of that. For those that say she has not hard a hard life, she has. True, loads of us have- but to say she has not is bullshit. My own father was a smackhead, and my mum was 'different'. Its not easy, and that kind of shit when you're a kid can fuck with your head longterm if you are not carefull. Perhaps i have empathy right now for Jade Goody as i am a mother myself, a female who never keeps up to date with smears. Perhaps she made me realise how it could be me, or any other young woman off here that still has so much living to do. Jonnos' mum died of cancer when he was young, and its so tragic that our children miss out on meeting her, nor her them. Imagine being told that you will never see a clear blue summers day again, or that you will never see your children become adults. I cannot bear to think of that kind of fear. Sure, she is annoying and has made mistakes- but shit, this is her life stopping forever.
I think it could have been argued that this thread started out as a pop at Jade Goody, but i think that it becomes a joke about cancer when you start to use jokes about someone having a bald head advertising Easter eggs, certainly with the suggested slogan of 'how do you cure yours'. I think to me that was the nastiest part, and the bits that kinda make me have little respect for those that post it.
My dad, who in addition to being a smackhead was also abusive, died last year of cancer. I never really knew him other than from a kid- even then he was a big baddie that we hid from in safe houses. But you know, seeing a man like that dying gave me no joy. I cannot believe that someone has said that Jade Goody is getting poetic justice. Justice for what? Perhaps i saw a really bad case, but there is very little someone could do in this world that would make me feel that that kind of ending was justice. For him it was agonising, undignified and full of fear. I don't care what Jade Goody has done, or how annoying etc she has been. The poor woman is about to go throught the most horrific thing ever, and to know she is going to be leaving behind her children must break her heart.
However distastefull her recent media coverage has been, i honestly believe that some good has come of it. Cervical screening has gone up and women are being more pro-active in their health care. Also, i for one will try to appreciate a little more just how lucky i am to live another year.
Soz for all the spelling errors/typo's and shiz. I don't have time to check and balancing two babies whilst typing is hard bloody work!

Ha ha i cant help mesen can i? Hypocrisy is great innit
Uneducated? I thought you needed a minimum standard of education to be a chairside dental assistant, her former employment? At least O level standard or whatever the modern equivalent qualifications are called these days?
Hell no, the only uneducated are those falling for the Clifford generated image...

is this a trick question cos i thought they just dug her up every morning
hilarious mate
I personally despise Max Clifford, I think he's a souless expliotative, human casino that gambles with people's lives. But my distaste doesn't extend to the people he exploits. Why the hell would I, or anyone else for that matter, waste energy on hating someone who makes a living off having no talent? Don't most of us do that? There aren't many of us who out there busting our guts and saving lives everyday or spending all our waking hours coming up with a cure for cancer. We generally work mundane, stressful jobs that pay the bills but don't necessarily exercise our full potential!
What really makes me chuckle is that people find it unsavory that she's capiltalising off her experience. She has spent all of her adult life on telly, why the hell should she stop now? Because she's ill? Because we as the public can't stomach watching the reality of Cancer? Well in a "normal", mundane job, asking her to stop working because of those reasons would be classed as discrimination. She has the right to carry on with her life, let her live it the way she wants! And as for the money. I have always believed that money is not important. But if I knew I didn't have long to live, I would all of a sudden be extrememly worried about my daughter's financial situation....and more than that, the guilt she's feeling towards her children, knowing that they will be without a parent must be immense. I imagine the only way she feels she can compensate them in any way is by leaving them a shed load of money. As right or wrong as that is, none of us can comprehend how it must feel to know that you'll soon be leaving your children without a mummy forever!!
And just to second what Amelie mentioned, Jade has created awareness for cervical cancer. I forgot I was suposed to have a smear last year and all this has reminded me and encouraged me to get my overdue smear done tomorrow!
Anyway, as for the link, we all know what Shooms is like and it doesn't suprise me that he's being contraversial....cheap thrills as always!

^^Still the best comment on the whole of this thread if you ask me. Regardless of whether you like or dislike the woman the whole question is about ethics. Her and her publicist. Do you think that when she was first diagnosed with this terrible disease that she thought it would be as bad as this. The publicity machine was well into overdrive before she was diagnosed as terminal. Money was her first thought, she wanted to rinse it but sadly its turned out shit for her. Now if it saves lives great but i dont buy into the 'if she didnt go public many wouldnt of got checked so shes done good..' line. She has no choice but to be the face of cancer, it is whats killing her and she is famous. Would she of been the face of cancer before...? only if it saved her career.
Her kids in years to come will say that no amount of money wouldve been worth five more minutes with their mum surely.
See what you started Shooms cant believe you apologised you poof
Fair play to jade, i hope the girl screws as much money as she can out of all these publications to make her kids life a lot more comfortable. ^ months after her death no one will remember Jade goody and no fucker will look after her kids for her. So fair play to her.
Anyone who tries making a joke out of this needs their heads testing. Go watch father ted and then you will realise what funny is, its deffo not getting a cheap laugh out of a girl with cancer
