For some reason I don’t believe myself to be the first blogger to mention Jade Goody, and I seriously doubt whether I’ll be the last.
However, I do think that I’ll be the first to claim that her whole experience was a PR masterstroke. A cleverly planned and brilliantly implemented campaign that one can only sit back and admire.
Everyone knows of Jade as a big-headed, foul-mouthed, stupid moron. I’m being a little kind, I know. Celebrity Big Brother has re-enforced her position as such. Admittedly her image has taken a small downturn at present, but Jade will bounce back – everyone needs a moronic figure in their lives to make them feel that little bit more intelligent.
Jade’s PR team have been working round the clock this week, making Jade give back her appearance fee, give her interview fee to charity etc. Jade is now a phenomenon so marketable that firms will not be able to resist for long. Pantomime villains are always in demand – her TV and then film career are set to follow. The makers of Eastenders will be licking their lips at the prospect of someone so horrid starring on the show – the marriage between Jade and Grant Mitchell is set to be the surprise hit of Christmas 2007.
