Wasn't implying that at all. Just why focus on the "chav" example? (And this thread was about Jack Tweed, not his late wife?)
Quote: Tim Walker @ September 6 2009, 11:40 PM BSTI have to agree with Marc as well. If you want to lambast dim, needy, media-manipulated women who died in sad circumstances - whilst "inspiring" a generation to worship at the alter of fame-for-fame's sake - then at least slag off Princess Diana whilst you're at it. On the other hand, if people like Jade are ultimately so worthless as people, why waste your ire on them?
Why lambast weak people at all... there's a name for people who do. Not you Tim but others who think they are superior!

Superior to Jade et al? I believe they're called Pan Troglodyte.
Quote: Renegade Carpark @ September 6 2009, 11:45 PM BSTI'll remember that when the BBC commissions a new series of Horne and Corden instead of taking up your sitcom.
In the arena of TV commissioning I have already experienced the unfairness of life, RC, don't worry.

I loath all the media wannabes and what they did to our culture.
Jade was just a bit more in your face.
Of course, when Tim Walker or Marc P are set upon by a drunken thug with a golf club, it's nice to know they won't be judgemental about it.
With any luck it could be Jack Tweed himself, at which point you could have a discussion with him about the 'righteous indignation' of those who disgaree with his (and his late wife's) lifestyle choices.
When you're lying on the stretcher in the ambulance, you can smile to yourself and say 'at least I don't lambast the weak'.

Tell us how and why you are superior to Jade... seriously. No joking, as this thread has gone beyond that now.

Can't say I was her biggest fan (by a long way), but she was refreshingly honest in admitting that she had absolutely no talent at all. She was just a poorly-educated young woman, like thousands of others, who found a way to "better" herself. (I always found it rather endearing that before BB she had worked in the rather middle-class job of being a dental assistant. She wasn't trying to live her life without work. BB was just an opportunity, an experience for a young woman. I don't believe she had the foresight to see it as a way to start a media career.) She had a couple of young kids who she wanted to provide for financially after her death, to possibly prevent them having the same life she did. Who can truly say that they would have done differently if they had walked in her shoes?

I'll be alright I can take care of myself but any mention of Jack in my posts... oh no!

Aah in the world of the internet we can all be who we want to be. So I am superior because...I have tentacles! 12 of them, I can climb walls with them.
Don't be so pompous as to tell me to be serious. Lest I metaphorically pee on her grave.
Quote: Marc P @ September 6 2009, 11:47 PM BSTAnswer my question and I'll answer yours.
Um, I did. I'm currently doing bits of media part time for my previous employer but the money's crap and the work is erratic.
They've recently changed ownership / management, so I'll know my future by the end of the month. Apparently, 'my name is in the pot', whatever that means.
If you're worried about me suckling from the teat of the state, I've paid more then £200,000 in income tax and VAT over the last 11 years. I also sold my flat in Farringdon earlier this year and whilst I didn't make much of a profit, I was able to pay off all of my debts, so I'm pretty much beholden to no one.
The current economic climate does suck ass though.
Oh and my shoe size is 12. Any other questions?

I don't see how that is relevant to anything I've said. But hey-ho...

Never mind the world of the internet, what about the world? It is real. She died. She shouldn't have done. Her children are deprived. Never mind she had a skewed kind of celebrity. You have made comic capital out of her death and her family's suffering - take those pennies to the bank and feel proud of yourself.
