She really ought to learn when to shut the f*ck up

I apologise for the vulgarity in the title above, but I'm in a seriously annoyed mood. If you've read my last post, then you don't get any reward for guessing who I'm referring to. In case you're unsure as to precisely who has seriously annoyed me, it's one Jade Goody.

She was apparently unaware of the furore her actions have caused in the outside world. Watching some of her interview immediately after her eviction made me wonder exactly how intelligent she thought she was being in trying to explain and even justify what she had done.

After a few minutes I switched off as the things she was saying sounded like utter tripe. To paraphrase one particular part "she hoped that [Shilpa Shetty] didn't hear what [they] were talking about." How incompetent can she be? She is in an environment that is under 24 hour surveillance, how did she think that her words wouldn't be heard by the public? She seemed to think that if Shetty hadn't heard her and others talking about her, then it was perfectly acceptable.

Several news sites, newspapers and television news programmes have been discussing Goody's actions and what may happen now that she is no longer on Big Brother (BB). Many of them have stated that Goody has caused an international incident and I find that I am in agreement with them.

I doubt that Goody will be expecting the reaction she is about to receive; she even tried to apologise by saying "she didn't mean nothing." Shetty, meanwhile, did accept Goody's apology immediately before Goody was evicted and was more gracious than I would have been in similar circumstances.

Hopefully the eviction of Goody will force the other house-mates to treat Shetty with the respect she deserves, although only time will tell.

till next time,

Alex.
