[QUOTE="Sheikh Yerbouti, post: 754115, member: 9093"] It is a good article. I don't agree with all of it though... What I find vulgar is the notion that "more money for the kids = better". The implication there is that she will stop at nothing (a truly scary thought) if there's a quid in it, and that anyone who criticises her must be some unfeeling bastard completely bereft of compassion, because after all, she's selflessly raising money for her kids, and more money = happier kids, right? WRONG I say. Some things are worth more than any number of pounds shillings and pence. To view terminal illness and death in purely those terms (even when it's your own terminal illness and death) is totally distasteful, in my opinion. And as for the "she's made more women have cervical smear tests" argument, I'm afraid that says far more about the women now being tested than it does about Jade Goody. Anyway... Let's not kid ourselves... Jade does not possess the wit or the intellect to come up with a scheme like this for herself, (much less the type of esoteric moral justification put forward in that Indy article). As MissTickle (I think it was) said... Max Clifford is the puppetmaster here... Jade herself will be responsible for nothing except the colouring in (and even then i bet she gets the kids to do the hard bits). Seeing this charade for what it is does not mean people lack compassion, just that they can see beyond the pound sign mentality, and beyond all the saccharine "princess of hearts" schtick which the tabloids are currently applying to this story with a big trowel - and who also just happen to be the very ones who remorselessly mocked her stupidity and ignorance when she was in BB... funny that...
