I have to say that cancer is a horrible disease, and it is sad that someone so young has died, leaving two young children behind who will never have a mother.
It's always sad when someone dies leaving behind friends and family. The whole thing has raised awareness of smear tests in young women - and more are now being tested apparently, which is a good thing.
Having said that, I really don't get all the media coverage. Ok and Heat magazines running headlines like "Goodbye to Brtains brightest star..", "Thanks for all you've done." Sky News covering the funeral live. What is that all about?!
What did she actually do except be monumentally stupid on a reality TV show?
Parkinson has come out and said that this whole thing highlights what is wrong with Britain today - about our facination with celebrities, regardless of what they have done to acheive this fame that they have.
The way the media plays it's part is shocking as well. Headlines called her a bigot etc when all this race stuff was on, and then being her best mate when she got cancer? Please....
All in all, I just don't get it.

Can't they just let someone die? What happened to 'rest in peace'?
.. Insanity.

That's annoyed me further. I didn't even get an Easter Egg this year!

I might be missing the quote here, but it seems to me he is only speaking ill of the papers.
We're sorry that she died, we didn't like her before but it's good that she was able to remind everyone even those of us in our 20ies, that you need to take care of your body and check yourself regularly.
The thing that annoyed us most was the daily coverage of it all, even after she's gone. Like today (or yesterday) it was the guy putting an easter egg by her grave. I just think it goes too far but I understand that the media will cover it because they know it'll bring in readers, which is what they want during the recession.
I dunno, its just all very sad.
