Received this while at work today. I didn't realise there was such a hatred of her. I'm not posting this to "spread to word", more for the discussion it can cause. I think telling someone to go crucify themself is a bit harsh... and I don't really hate her that much.

Anyways, has anyone else seen this or even heard of it?

Regular TSSH readers know we loathe Delta Goodrem, her oily management
and her omnipresent manager/mother.

Why?

Because her management coldly used her brush with cancer - Hodgkin’s
lymphoma – as a marketing tool to boost sales of her album.

Because she asked for privacy from the media once she made her cancer
diagnosis public, then whored the story to almost every glossy magazine
in Australia.

Because she and her management team cynically released information to
media outlets about her break-up with tennis dud Mark Philippoussis –
information designed to make him the bad guy – when tabloid reports now
suggest Ms Goodrem had a relationship with married UK warbler Brian
McFadden before the break-up.

And because Delta’s music makes Celine Dion’s last half-dozen releases
seem positively edgy and /avant garde/.

Angered by Delta’s relentless marketing hype, and the fact that Easter
eggs and hot cross buns are /already/ in the supermarkets, we at TSSH
happened on an idea – let’s get into the spirit of the season /and/ do
something about a young woman who tarnishes Australia’s image around the
world.

Let’s turn Australia’s angel into our own personal Jesus and crucify her
on Good Friday.

We have set up an online petition asking for just that
<http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/crucifydelta>, and we’ll pass it
on to Delta Goodrem’s management shortly before Easter.

With your support, readers, we’re confident we can make it happen. Or,
at least, we’re confident that we can send the message to Delta’s
management that some Australians see through the gloss, the hype and the
oh-so-cynical marketing spin.

This is grassroots activism at its best, people. Let’s change the world.
