Still bracketting her in there for shock value, just as you said, using the same kind of tactics that she's railing against.

I'm sorry, I'm usually light-hearted and I'm certainly not adverse to being un-pc with jokes and the such-like, but to publish it in the public domain and ridicule a child to 550,000 people is disgusting, I really can't see why anybody would want to buy that s**t now, yeah, probably overreacting, and no, I probably wouldn't dump my girlfriend if she carried on buying it, but I would be disappointed in her.

Possibly but I also think the point wasn't to compare Jordan with Rose but to also highlight that the winners come from those most in the media eye irrespective of their qualities as a mother and Rose West would be the most extreme example of that. As in more a dig at the media and the people who're suckered in by the celeb propaganda.

I think the context makes it obvious that they pose West as the dark nadir of awarding Mum of the Year to questionable celebrities, rather than her being the direct equivalent of Jordan. In any case, they're referring to Katona there, not Jordan.

You do realise you're arguing with someone who puts Heat stickers on his desk?
