Michael Parkinson: Jade Goody Comments

Recently the comments by Michael Parkinson were said to have caused outrage in the wake of Jade Goody's death. But were his comments truly terrible? Was Jade uneducated and ignorant. Well yes she was, we saw that in her time in the Big Brother house with her pathetically stupid comments and her racist words towards Shilpa Shetty.
Before she was diagnosed with cancer the press DID try and persuade us we should hate her and they call her a pig-face slapper. I'm not saying that Sir Parky's comments were appropriately timed in such a short time after the reality stars death but I am saying they ring true.
Why should we mourn her death? She WASN'T a martyr or a saint what had she ever actually done with her life other than win a reality TV show, even then no one actually liked her. She said in her own words " I have achieved more in 27 years than most do in a lifetime" well if she is saying that most people achieve absolutely nothing then she is correct.
Some people called for her to be given an award for bravery, but dying isn't brave, it's just something that happens to everyone. I mean name me one person who isn't going to die.
Thousands of people are dying of cancer and they aren't offered rewards and medals.
Why can't people open their eyes and see that mourning celebrities is pathetic, you are crying over someone who you never even knew and never actually did anything for you.
Let's just leave it there.
