Jenna Parry's 15 minutes of fame

Kids! Stop it! Enough already!


Write songs and form a band! Join a political party! Start a 'blog! Write a letter to your local newspaper! Ring Samaritans! Have a bottle of White Lightning! Do something positive and/or non-life threatening!

Well I heard you on the radio yesterday and listened in disbelief to your ignorant over simplified views. Whilst I live in Wiltshire I would be half tempted to move to London just to be able to vote for anyone other than you. Your reference to Warhol's 15 minutes of fame is naive, primitive and in exceptionally poor taste. You 'politicians' should look at the root causes - environment; society; culture and poverty rather than the consequences. Pete Creese

I'm not a politician, I wasn't on the radio yesterday, I have teenage kids myself (and I was young and depressed twenty five years ago), so the matter is quite important to me, but apart from that, I take your comments on board.

Ah, root causes. Parsnips, I dare say.

D, the stolen parsnips which you no doubt fry up to eat with your roadkill?

pete, your comment is baffling. Who the heck do you think Mark is? Anyway, thanks for the chuckle.

Ordinarily I'd say "oh noes, a thoughtless suicide comment"

.. but you're pretty much right with all this.

I don't think people recognise that suicide is permanent, and when they get bored they can't come back.
