…if I were writing P.R. for Jane Ennis or the paparazzi and I wanted some good, free publicity from the mournful porn, that is the Jaded Goodies Celebrity Cancer Story..
then I would write a happy ending to the tears of guilty,shameful sympathy, by offering all the profit the press have made out of Jade to a Cancer Relief Charity….of course not anonymously or there would be no story.
Jade could of course keep whatever she has made for herself, her family & Jack Tweedy…..without looking too greedy and still keeping her privacy.
I love a happy ending…don’t you?
Roll credits…

You call the people that went there geeks and stuff would you rather people be doing things like the silent dance or people walking round the streets with guns and knives, its like our community can do nothing right when we have people like you posting negative things like that, stupid tbh..
Negative? The piece gives time for the copper to say it was “fun”. This is people having fun by pretending to be in a corporate video. Is that fun?

Kerry McCarthy MP wonders abaout the blogging community:
Alistair Campbell has started blogging. Good move.
I do wonder though - as more and more people start blogging, will it destroy the sense of a blogging community, as it gets more and more fragmented between lots and lots of sites? Will people hop around more from one site to another, and become ever more promiscuous with their affection, or will it be like newspapers and magazines - they stick to their regulars and only occasionally take a peek at something else? And will it eventually get to the point where newspapers comment columns are redundant because whatever they want to say, it’s already been said before and said better somewhere in the blogosphere? How do people see things developing over the next year, or five years?
The cream rising to the top and peer groups - like now…

More juicy news about Pastor Ted Haggard……I can’t help but recall that piece in Harper’s Magazine from May 2005 (Soldiers of Christ: Inside America’s most powerful megachurch with Pastor Ted Haggard)- if you don’t a have a subscription try this….some of the best bits posted for you here:
The World Prayer Center……
The atrium is a soaring foyer adorned with the flags of the nations and guarded by another bronze warrior angel, a scowling, bearded type with massive biceps and, again, a sword. The angel’s pedestal stands at the center of a great, eight-pointed compass laid out in muted red, white, and blue-black stone. Each point directs the eye to a contemporary painting, most depicting gorgeous, muscular men–one is a blacksmith, another is bound, fetish-style, in chains–in various states of undress. My favorite is The Vessel, by Thomas Blackshear, a major figure in the evangelical-art world. 2 Here in the World Prayer Center is a print of The Vessel, a tall, vertical panel of two nude, ample-breasted, white female angels team-pouring an urn of honey onto the shaved head of a naked, olive-skinned man below. The honey drips down over his slab-like pecs and his six-pack abs into the eponymous vessel, which he holds in front of his crotch. But the vessel can’t handle that much honey, so the sweetness oozes over the edges and spills down yet another level, presumably onto our heads, drenching us in golden, godly love. Part of what makes Blackshear’s work so compelling is precisely its unabashed eroticism; it aims to turn you on, and then to turn that passion toward Jesus.
and good wholesome fun for the kids…..
When T.J. was coming up in the Rangers, little boys started as “Straight Arrows” and proceeded from there to “Buckaroos.” T.J. and Commander Tom are both members of an elite Ranger cadre known as FCF, Frontier Christian Fellowship, in which boys and men regress to pioneer life in pursuit of ultimate Christian manhood. Father and son are still Frontiersmen, which is the lowest level, but they dream of becoming Buckskin Men. “The problem,” said T.J., “is that it takes time and money. Because you have to make an outfit. And it has to be out of leather.”
