It gets worse. The copy of OK! I picked up in Oz is different to the UK version which went one further. The UK edition was a black-bordered "official tribute issue 1981-2009" with the strapline "In loving memory". Publishers Northern and Shell have released a statement defending their actions and apparently Jade's family are alright with it. That's okay then. No it isn't! She is still alive! I don't care if she's made hundreds of thousands of pounds from this magazine which will go to her poor children, that's her choice. I don't care if Jade's mum thinks it's ok. And defending this action by saying this issue was a celebration of her "amazing life" is lame too. With all due respect, Jade is a reality TV star who was more likely being ridiculed by the press than admired until she became terminally ill. There's no doubt she is a lovely person but she isn't Mother Theresa. And she isn't dead either. It's all so wrong...
