Jade Goody has cancer

Frankly, words fail me:

Publicity stunt?

Publicity stunt?

I would guess so. A rather convenient way to escape Indian scrutiny. I'm not sure if it is the usual way for these things but it is her 'publicist' that has broken the news.

Either that or Karma is in play...

Went to india to repair her image, didnt like it there so made up a story to leave and save face.

cynical i know.

Fat people statistically at are higher risk of getting cancer so if this news is true it dont surprise me.

Fanny cancer stinks.

Why does she have to break the news?

All I can say is that if it is true, then unlucky and get well etc. But I too veer towards the "cry wolf" publicity angle. Things coming home to roost perhaps.

my first (admittedly not pleasant) thoughts were Karma and all that, but regardless of how abhorrent she is and has been in the past if what she claims to have is true then nobody deserves that.

all i want her to do is feck off out of the public eye so i dont have to see or hear about her.

Which off course is what she plans to do, having her publicist break the news :mad:

She is a selfish cow if this is true, she only made it up to take the shine of Glitter returning and to beat him home.

This is one dark thread...

Good luck to the doctor who has to explain to her that the Cervix is part of her body and not a small European country.

Whilst no one would wish this on the poor girl (if it's true) and I wish her a full recovery... i did stop and think of how she lives in the public and could die in it as well. Double Plus Good

Bad news, I like Jade Goody.

She's an idiot, but that makes her quite endearing

She's not keen on Asians.......so what!

Lol.

It seems that Cervical cancer is caused by a virus, and the greater the number of sexual partners, the higher the risk.

Just an observation...

Genuine question - does that mean males carry the virus but are not affected by it :confused:

Seems like the main treatment is a hysterectomy. Although it can be possible to have a more localised proceedure if the patient wishes to remain fertile.

As for the virus, it may not indicate that she is '****ging about,' as yes, it could have been a male carrier that infected her. So, Bridge too far, hope that answers your question.

I'll never get it then, oh goody

As much as I don't like her, I wouldn't wish cancer on anyone or celebrate because someone I don't particulally likes gets it. Hopefully, she can recover soon.

I don't know of many men with cervical cancer.

Don't worry BTF it only effects ladies who sleep around alot, you seemed rather concerned.

No, no - not concerned for myself

I just wondered, if the males carry the virus, a) where do they get it from and b) does it affect them?

Like I said, genuine question - not trying to score points (for a change )

Thank god for that, I was expecting the wrath of BLT.

Look out for her inevitable "How I Beat Cancer" exclusive serialisation in the News Of The World.

1 in 3 people will be affected by it - according to the adverts - so why should she be so special and deserve public sympathy?

Goody goody gum drops

Bad news, I like Jade Goody.

It's not that she's not keen on Asians is it?

She's a fecking racist that's what!

If she has cancer then let's hope she can recover from it.

It's the men who carry the virus which can lead to cervical cancer. So a lady who has been totally faithful can contract it through regular sex with her, equally faithful, partner!

I hope it is a publicity stunt as much as I dislike her I couldnt wish it on anyone.

Goody and Katona will probably do a 2 page spread...better make that a 4 page spread in Hello on 'our journey'.

Who gives a ****?

Bad news, I like Jade Goody.

She is an ignorant **** and I ****ing hate her.

The fact that you find her idiocy endearing says an awful lot about you.

Just an observation...

i had abnormal cells on a smear test about 6 years ago.they were in the late stages of being pre-cancerous....so , would've become cancerous had it not been found in time...

i had been with only ONE partner in the 11 years previous to that.......so, (i know you're not calling all women who contract Cervical Cancer sluts) , but by even mentioning that the number of sexual partners may have an effect on the likelihood of contracting it , you are obviously implying that Jade Goody is.........so furkin what if she does or did sleep around, it has no bearing whatsoever on the fact that she has (or not) got cancer.......

It's not that she's not keen on Asians is it?

 

She's a fecking racist that's what!

oh, please!!! So you can honestly say that you have NEVER looked at a black man n thought...mmm, nice hair

that you have NEVER walked into/phoned a chinese take away, then turned round to ya mates n said "herro"

that you have NEVER called someone (either in your own head or out loud) a spik,wop,dago,yid,pikey,sheep ****ger,paki,dirty turk,spade????

if that is the case, then i do feel sorry for you.......that halo of yours must weigh a frickin ton!!

This isn't nice, you're implying people with Cervical Cancer are slappers?

This thread sucks.

:toimonster:

Having seen the news earlier, I have to say that, although Jade Goody [i don't know of this celebrity very well] apparently craves media attention, couldn't there have been some decent way to break such bad news to the poor girl..? I understand she was informed of her smear test results on an Indian version of Big Brother..? And in front of the TV audience..? If that is true it is appalling behaviour..! Whatever the girl has done, this sort of news is intensely private. What is media coming to..? They seem to be losing the sense of responsibility by the day. All in the act of claiming viewers. There are more important things than that, and ultimately, anyone's innermost privacy is one of those things.

And where have I ever said that, in my callow youth, I had not thought things like that? I just grew up and in a time when racism was tolerated in society. Perhaps, being raised by a man with 'Dago blood' I learned quicker than most?

Oh! The halo sits well and causes no pain from carrying it

'This is Indian Big Brother. The housemates diagnosed with cancer this week are....'

Nothing like twisting the words around 180 degrees is there?

What I said was, the more sexual partners a woman has, the more likely it is that she will get cervical cancer.

Now I know that you are not a naive person, but I'm afraid that the media left behind all remnants of decency many years ago.

I can just visualise the TV executives salivating at the thought of her reaction to the news on live TV.

well, considering that Jade Goody has the intellectual level of a teenager, then i wonder if you'd like to re-evaluate your opinion of her? i don't think she is a racist,she is/was just too stupid to realise the consequences of her actions at the time. she said nothing worse than you admitted that you did,in your youth,so what you're saying then is that you were a racist when you were younger! Jade Goody did not single out Shilpa Shetty because she was Indian, she singled her out because she was jealous of her looks/fame/wealth and so Jade picked up on the one thing she knew Shilpa felt vulnerable about,her nationality, (and by that i mean that she felt vulnerable because she was so far away from home , in a situation that was out of her comfort zone). that is what bullies do,they find a weakness and attack it,in order to make themselves feel stronger.if anything Jade is a bully,but she is no more a racist than you or me.

Why do you use a line of full stops when one is sufficient?

im takin a breath!!

i will correct it for you,coz i'm nice like that.

'This is Indian Big Brother. The housemates diagnosed with cancer this week are....'

Made me lol!

well, considering that Jade Goody has the intellectual level of a teenager..

That's a bit unfair. Not all teenagers are thick.

Jade needed something really big to get back in the limelight after the poppadum affair, something to win back the hearts of the celebrity obsessed public. Max Clifford is her agent, isn't he? She must have been 'expecting' bad news from those results and what better way to receive them than on Big Brother India? It has all been televised, surprise, surprise :roll:

lol @ Evil Monkey btw

Oh, and she will be a very good role model to get all those slightly less intelligent young women out there to go and have a smear test once in a while.

thats of course if it isnt an all made up publicity stunt

I feel sorry for Kermit tbf.

There's no need for me to re-evaluate Jade Goody. She is a racist.

And you seem to be an apologist for her actions.

Most teenagers these days are fully aware of how to behave toward others, with regard to their colour, creed etc. Yes, you can say that I was racist in my formative years. It didn't take long for it to sit very badly with me. I couldn't make the link to liking Soul and Reggae when I was supposed to fear 'the black man'. It's amazing what reaching out and meeting / talking to people can do.

Society, in general, is far less tolerant of racism these days. Any teenager with an 'average intellect' works that out pretty quickly.

If they want to.

EDIT: I grew out of my racist tendencies by the time I was about 14.

I'm tempted to respond to ESB

However, I'd probably have to pay £5 to re-register
