It HAS now gone too far (another Madeleine thread!)

More nonsense...

LET'S HOLD A MADELEINE DAY FOR THE WHOLE WORLD

http://www.express.co.uk/news/view/8736/Let's+hold+a+Madeleine+Day+for+the+whole+world+

ROCK legend Sir Elton John is being lined up to front a global pop concert, to carry the message of missing Madeleine McCann’s plight to every corner of the earth.

It is hoped the singer will headline a huge series of worldwide events to mark a special Madeleine Day that her
distraught parents are planning in the effort to find the vanished four-year-old.

Sir Elton’s popular appeal is guaranteed to attract a swarm of other film and music superstars keen to offer support to parents Gerry and Kate McCann.

The couple, having promised not to return home until they are reunited with Madeleine, are now planning a series of visits to European and North African cities, to distribute posters and widen the appeal for information.

Sir Elton has played an emotional DVD of Madeline at his concerts,but now believes a larger effort would do more to raise awareness of her predicament.

Gerry McCann, 38, said: “One of the ideas is maybe getting all the people who have publicly supported us to come together. I don’t just mean from the UK but from different parts of the world. We want a big event to raise awareness that she is still missing.

“We would look at high-profile people who have already pledged support. It will be some sort of focus around an anniversary, to tell people that Madeleine’s still missing. I think it would be later this year, once media attention has dropped, to bring it back up, hopefully, for a short period.

“It wouldn’t be a one-year anniversary, it will be sooner than that. What we’re doing at the minute has its role but doing that down the line in a few months won’t have anything like the same impact. We might have a sporting event, something arts, something music.

"We’ve had backing from sporting people up to now. We have had backing from certain musical celebrities as well. We’ve got some other musical contacts that we are exploring, who are happy to offer support.

“We’re not saying it would necessarily be one big concert, it might be that on a certain day they are playing her DVD.

“What we want at the current time is maximum message out there now, about her disappearance but then just events to bring it back up occasionally just to remind people, if she’s not found.”

A month after the sleeping Madeleine was snatched from her bed, Gerry and Kate McCann have betrayed the first signs that their hopes of finding her alive are starting to fade.

The couple confessed that they are haunted by the harrowing thought of her being held captive by a pervert. Still desperately clinging to Madeleine’s pink Cuddle Cat, 38-year-old Kate said: “We don’t know where she is. We’d like to think she’s still in Portugal, she might still be in Portugal.

“But we know there’s a possibility she’s gone over the border – or several borders. We know there are bad people out there, but we know there are also a lot of sad people. We hope it’s the latter.”

Gerry added: “Of course we believe Madeleine is still alive but you would be incredible if you hadn’t considered the worst scenario, that she’s dead.

“Kate and I discuss it – not a lot, but we talk about hope, and that while there’s some we will not give up. At the minute, there’s loads of hope.”

Blimey. This could be bigger than Christmas.

In 2000 years kids will be getting presents from a Portuguese fat man and putting little madeliane's on fake trees.

FACT.
 
ive just had a rant over this, if you own a car you probably know what a cruise is......

dunno what the problem is tbh, let them milk it, it can't do any harm can do it, if I was the parents I'd be pretty happy the whole thing is getting as much coverage as it is, that little girl could be out there somewhere still alive being held captive being subjected to the unthinkable and people are actually moaning it's getting too much coverage :rolleyes:, ummmmmm.

Urgh, when are they going to just accept that she is dead?

If and when a corpse is found, which is the way it should be. Shame on any parent who accepts as definite the possibility that their missing child is dead purely because a significant amount of time has passed!
 
Totally ridiculous. I don't want to be too hard on them since they're obviously desperate and under pressure to make a breakthrough but logic should've prevailed.

I said this to my parents the other day. How many poor sets of parents have their child snatched and get offerred a private jet to fly around the world 'raising awareness' ??

I said to someone yesterday that it's just a matter of time before they cut a single, write a book, shag and celeb and appear on celebrity Big Brother, Dancing on Ice and get caught for drunk driving. You just watch. Our society really IS that far gone. :rolleyes:

I find it both odd and disturbing that this has head line news when USSR has said, almost anyway said, if the USA builds missile defence in eastern EU then it will point missiles at the EU and western countrys also.

Easy to bury news when a 'puplic interest' story comes out of nowhere...

Hope she is alive, but enough is enough.

Colin - i see conspirieces everwhere [now where is that spell checker button!]
 
Well after a few weeks of having images of her/her parents/the pope/random celebrities wailing on about it... I've lost interest. Completely.

Who? The parents? Urm, never. :confused:

If after only 4 weeks would you write off your child and proclaim them dead and give up the search?

Kids have been found dead months after I agree, but there was also that boy who turned up alive and well years after he went missing. I reckon she'll never be seen again, might not be dead though.
 
This story is my second most hated media event after the death of Diana (in recent times)
 
I don't mind admitting that I hope they find Maddy - whether it be her tied on in some stranger's house, or 6 foot under somewhere.

I just want to stop hearing about her, and all the sickly things everybody is doing is milk the Madeleine Prize Cow...I mean help her.

wrong we are moaning about it not being newsworthy since there is no fresh news.

3rd may she goes missing

Newsworthy stories about her since then = 0

All it would take is a 1 min snippet saying she's still missing. Yet we still have BBC taxpayers money being spent on reporters sunning themselves in Portugal when it is clear she's no longer there.
