I thought British people were smart

I really don't know why anyone cares about this. The story of Jade Goody so far goes something like this:
1. She gained fame after being extremely stupid and annoying in the Big Brother house.
2. She continued to be stupid and annoying in her subsequent television appearances.
3. She went back into the Big Brother house and made some comment that a lot of people thought to be stupid and annoying.
4. She was labelled a (stupid annoying) racist by the tabloid press and her career went down the shitter.
5. She got cancer and how every rag in the country won't shut up about her.

Now I don't want anyone to get cancer, but if someone needs to get it to keep the universe balanced I'd rather it be her than anyone that might actually contribute something worthwhile to society.
What I hate is how everyone's making such a big fuss over it. Doctors that have devoted their whole lives to saving other people's lives die every day. Writers, scientists, nurses die every day. Tons of people that have achieved amazing philanthropic things in their lives die all the time and yet all anyone cares about is the stupid annoying woman that was once in a shit TV show and went on to become a racist.
