Congratulations to Jade Goody, who has sunk celebrity exposure to depths that scrapes the very bottom of decency- to the extent that it drills through the wood, to see decency trickle out of the gaping hole.

In short- Jade Goody has decided that she would use her cancer to try and get the public on her side. Let's just check the facts:

* She knew that she was being tested for it long before she went into thr Indian House:
* The Indian House gives her maximum publicity because of the issues around Shilpa Shetty- the very source of her deserved fall from grace;
* The results of her cancer were DESIGNED to manipulate the public consciousness. It ensured that it capitalized on the power of association- by associating cancer [which generates public sympathy] with the Indian House [associated with her notoriety] it neutralizes the negativity.

I am shocked that she would stoop so low - but it shows you what an aggressive, vain and disgusting animal that a certain level of celebrity has become, one that people need to take care over because these people influence your children.

there is NO WAY that her publicists would have allowed the results of the test to be read on TV- they ABSOLUTELY knew what the impact of this announcement would be, although they obviously didn't know what the outcome would be: the tests were done long before she went in the house, they knew they existed, and the gamble of the outcome was played out on TV.

The thing is - no one in the media will challenge it because it involves cancer - and out emotions are manipulated so Jade Goody can TAKE OUR MONEY by looking glassy-eyed on magazines, doing press junkets and so on. She is following Jordan's model- she is reinventing herself through tragedy, so she can resume her career.

She is a DISGRACE - but a perfect illustration of what a twisted society we have become, one consumed in self-interest and self-promotion, above all ethics, abouve all morals, above all values.

And when your child asks to smell like her, remember what you are buying into - the smell of a vacuous generation who are happy to manipulate you to fulfil their own ambitions. You emotions are currency, and your children are fair game.
