Micheal Parky slags Jade Goody- too soon??? (1 Viewer)

[Froog]

i think he's more giving out about the media than goody tho, i mean she was an eejit who had a tragic death, no one is denying that, but the media should be held up to critiscism for the wretched circus that has been going on for the last 5 years.

 

[ann post]

well yeah, but its more logical to criticise the consumers of tv then the actual tv itself. it is ratings based after all.

 

[mark]

I think the world had had enough of Jade Goody the first or second time she crossed over from the retarded 'social experiment' mind numb that was Big Brother into news headlines. The fact that she died from cancer at such a young age was a tragedy for her young family and friends. Anyone else upset by it needs to seriously question what on earth they are investing their lives caring about.

spot fucking on.

Yeah but I agree with him there is a certain amount of glee glee taken in feeling superior about the whole thing.

 

[pissypants]

It's true, but the part about her being brought up in a poor area and encountering bad aspects of society isn't really fair.

I think this was a comment on Britain rather than her...

 

[Vinnie]

I think this a discussion best had on a brand new 'Celebrity Debate' reality gameshow filmed exclusively on location around Jade Goody's grave.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

I care as much about what 'Sir' Michael Parkinson says as I do about what Jade Goody 'stands for'.

Fucking tans and their dead culture.

Heres what auld Parky said about the late Jade Goody.

What do yiz think

1) True
2) True but bad
3) Just bad

"Jade Goody has her own place in the history of television and, while it's significant, it's nothing to be proud of. Her death is as sad as the death of any young person, but it's not the passing of a martyr or a saint or, God help us, Princess Di."When we clear the media smoke screen from around her death, what we're left with is a woman who came to represent all that's paltry and wretched about Britain today.
"She was brought up on a sink estate, as a child came to know drugs and crime, was barely educated, ignorant and puerile. Then she was projected to celebrity by Big Brother and became a media chattel to be exploited til the day she died."

1)

Good one for bursting the hype bubble.

Hang on a sec, Princess Diane is dead?

The brit's are STILL obsessed with class.

All credit to the like's of Jade & Kerry Katona though. Through clever use of the media they gained access to a lifestyle that they would never have got near if it was based on merit, talent, intelligence ect ... It's not their fault they're parents were morons.

took the words right outta my mouth.

"what we're left with is a woman who came to represent all that's paltry and wretched about Britain today."

Not true, there's plenty worse about Britain today. Seems to me that Jade wanted the attention that the media gave her. How can you only blame an individual, when the institution enabled and encouraged such an obsession with fame? I think it would be more true to say that what happened to this woman came to represent all that's paltry and wretched about the mainstream media in Britain today. I see Parky's statement as being part of the that.

She was. She was just like a sniff candle in the wind. Somebody else described her as a taste torch in the fog but I dont think that's accurate at all.

YouTube - Elton John - Candle in the Wind 1997 (Princess Diana)

What? That's a terrible cover! Where are the drums?
To me, that song will always be about the Busby Babes.

Or in Jade's case; like a pork pie squashed by a Burberry Nike.
