Heat in hot water for celebrity child slur
November 28th, 2007
For those who haven’t yet picked up on this shocking media story…Heat magazine is this week giving away free stickers - one of which includes a photo of Katie Price’s (aka Jordan) disabled five-year old son Harvey with the slogan:
“Harvey wants to eat me”.
The fattist humour is completely lost on me - does anyone get it?!
The magazine’s editor, Mark Frith, has apologised saying: “No offence was intended, but if any was caused we would like to apologise.”
I deeply hope this isn’t going to be his only effort to manage the crisis situation his magazine has caused.
I am completely lost for words, and a quick Google search reveals I’m not the only one! According to reports, Jordan is lodging a complaint with the Press Complaints Commission.
