According to the Daily Heil Jade Goody had so much in common with Lady Diana

Er ... yeah - both were famous for being famous, and managed to get rich by doing absolutely nothing thanks to celebrity culture and the morons that perpetuate it.

Don't get me wrong - I wish cancer on relatively few people, but the "Jade Goody phenomenon" I think is symptomatic of (and consequently very depressing) the lowering of the lowest common denominator.

Yes I do.

It's a bit like criticising capitalism from the warm confines of sitting at a computer from one's Western home. Not invalid, but necessarily invokes certain ironies.
