Currently, I am working full time in a make-up factory, as if this was not dreadful enough I am also forced to listen to Heart radio station for eight hours a day. Although I enjoy being kept up to date on current affairs, listening to the same five news stories on the hour, every hour does get a tad sickening.
One thing I hate more than JLS's attempt at 'music' are the regular updates on Cheryl Cole's health. For those of you who are blissfully unaware, she is recovering from malaria and, personally, I could not care less.
Up to 500 million people contract malaria every year and every thirty seconds a child dies as a result of the disease. These vulnerable people are not lucky enough to have the brilliant medical care awaiting Cheryl's request, often they have no health care to speak of at all.
I would hope that Cheryl's unfortunate circumstance raises awareness of how serious malaria is. To be fair to the girl, she was very ill. One can hope she will recover and go on to spend her millions helping others survive and prevent the disease.
The truth of the matter is, she'll make a ton in interviews selling her "How I beat malaria" story, 'do her bit' by claiming a bewildered child from Ghana as her own and raise them in a burning spotlight and probably even release a new diet plan "Get malaria, drop a dress size".
This may sound a bit blunt to all you Cheryl fans, but if the worst thing to come out of this situation is seeing a day less of Cheryl's face on television, I count myself lucky. Sorry Sweeny, you'll have to find another shoulder to cry on.
Agreed! And if it's not her it's the Robbie Williams saga.........
ReplyDeleteI know it sickens me! Turn OFF the radio!!!
