The original thread was about taking the piss out of Jane Goody.who in reality is on her death bed. So quite a few people are quite rightly upset about that adn complain.

The Villan (and others) - please note that the original thread was NOT about taking the piss out of anyone, rather, as stated in the OP : A very public celebrity death, which raises all sorts of issues & provokes all sorts of responses, but the most immediate folkloric angle is the humour.

People got upset quite wrongly, because they missed the point entirely, going off on a collective hissyfit as their hysterical complaints make abundantly clear. Please read my other posts in this respect.

And talking of respect, at least get her name right.

And Brian O'Linn found a lump in his balls,
So he picks up the phone and the doctor he calls;
That was three months ago, now he's bald and he's thin -
Sure I fit me old clothes, said Brian O'Linn!
