More on the Daily Mail and Jade Goody

Further to my post yesterday, more Jade-related headline tweaking at the Daily Mail.

Sometime yesterday evening, this headline appeared on their website:
Terminally ill Jade leaves hospital to shop for a wedding dress with Jack

At 1.57am today, this was changed to the more perfunctory...
Jade shops for her wedding dress as she prepares to die

Later in the day (9.37am, to be precise), someone decided that this didn't sound tragic enough and the headline was changed to:
Tragic Jade Goody shops for her wedding dress as she prepares to die

Then at 10.22am that was thrown out of the window entirely:
Doomed Jade Goody plans to sell rights to wedding and set up a trust fund for her two children

Doomed no less! They'll have a hard time beating that.

Edit at 1.11pm:

It seems someone has now decided that 'doomed' is a bit too much. The headline was changed at 12.03pm to...
Dying Jade Goody plans to sell rights to wedding and set up a trust fund for her two children
