It would be unfair to put Jade Goody across as a good argument for anything
without explaining a little bit about the young "lady" to those who will not
know her as (unfortunately) well as a Brit.
It's summed up in wikipedia:
"Goody's fame may be also due in part due to various quotes portraying her
as being extremely uneducated and ignorant, and a symbol of British chav
culture. She is considered a representative for the perceived attitudes of
the British public towards deliberate apathy, trivia, and dumbing down."
If you asked her what a centimetre was should probably scream and say "take
it away, get rid of it, I hate creepy crawlies"

Goody confused about marathon length
Former 'Big Brother' star Jade Goody has admitted that she only agreed
to run the London Marathon for charity because she didn't know how long a
mile was.
Goody collapsed after running 21 miles of the 26-mile race and was
treated for exhaustion afterwards.
Speaking on television show 'This Morning', she said: "I don't really
understand miles. I didn't actually know how far it was going to be."
"I'll be honest, I didn't take it seriously which is really bad of me
because there's people out there who actually want to do the marathon," she
said.
"I didn't realise how much commitment the marathon was. I had four
training sessions, that's all I did. At most I could run half an hour on a
treadmill," Goody said.
"I was expecting to do five miles, not even more than that, so I think I
did extremely well to get to 21 miles."
