The Heat is on Harvey

JordanandHarveybyRexFeatures

Well done to Heat, who have made themselves even more unpopular than one of their own targets, Heather Mills. The weekly magazine's recent give-away was a detachable sheet of stickers poking fun at celebs like Britney Speers – “Mum of the year”, and Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham – “Posh, will you fucking smile?”

Another sticker, which got under everyone's radar but ours, said: “I’m not on drugs, it’s my bi-polar medicine.” Blimey! Pass the needle and thread so I can sew my sides back up.

In a further lapse of taste and judgement, Heat also included a sticker featuring a picture of model Jordan's disabled son Harvey, with the legend, “Harvey wants to eat me”.

Not that we're given to schadenfreude in Disability Now’s operational hub, but we reckon this cheap stunt got exactly what it deserved. A massive public raspberry, even on Heat’s own message board, and numerous complaints to the Press Complaints Commission, including one from Jordan herself.  And quite right, too.

Maybe it would cool them down if everyone who was angry over this boycotted the magazine for a month.
