Jade Goody died just recently due to cervical cancer. Like most people I too felt sorry for her to have died at such a young age, leaving behind two motherless children. Many other people are having cervical cancer tests because Jades unexpected infliction. A good thing to be said about her is her efforts to remove the image of her being a racist and a bully. Her public apologies, her visit to India and her brief participation in the Big Boss there are all good indications.
However her rise to fame was due to her stupid and arrogant behaviour at the Big Brother show. Her death definitely did not deserve the media coverage it got, with OK magazine announcing, “a nation mourns the loss of its brightest star.” First she certainly was not Britain’s brightest star and she certainly has not done anything that may have benefited Britain or the society as a whole. Elevating her to such an undeserved status and bringing her to the national stage is a bad example.
There are many workers in the war and famine ravaged countries of Africa, who risk their lives each day and who genuinely deserve this kind of coverage and appreciation but unfortunately never get.
