A piece by Janice Turner in The Times, The lowest point in British journalism expresses outrage at the publication of a sticker by Heat magazine that lampoons the disabled son of Katie Price (aka Jordan).
As Media Guardian reported, the sticker showed the boy, Harvey, with a speech bubble saying: "Harvey wants to eat me". He is clinically obese, one of the symptoms of his rare metabolic disorder, which also makes him blind and autistic. Price has now complained to the Press Complaints Commission.
Turner writes: "You may think this is all just piffling stupidity by a trashy celebrity magazine. But 550,000 people buy Heat every week, around a million read it, most of them under 30." But there is much more to appreciate in her piece. Read it.
