I refuse to feel guilty for feeling schadenfreude for Jade Goody's death. The stuff in the papers and on tv is absolutely nonsense: about her being a warm and loving person, a "character", what have you. Remember this person was a complete and utter idiot, a piece of media trash that would have done anything for a few bob and both during her life and in her death she detracted from far more important issues that people should be worried about, such as the silent millions who die for disease and cancers across the world each year, millions who die from hunger, war, global warming, the economic depression, social issues etc. I mean, I can understand public mourning where a person who actually contributed to mankind passes away, but what did Jade Goody do? She was a symbol of much that was wrong in the 21st century: its ok to be dense, its ok to make an absolute fool of yourself in public. I mean, Natasha Richardson achieved more in five minutes of her life than Jade Goody ever did but her passing has been utterly eclipsed by Jade.
I'm not inhuman and as an expectant father I do genuinely and sincerely sympathise with her kids, as for her husband and mother, I'll give them five minutes before they sell their stories to the tabloids and make themselves a few grimy bob.
