In an advertisement placed in several of today’s national newspapers, including the Guardian and the Daily Telegraph, the India Tourism Office has invited Jade Goody to visit India once her stay in the Big Brother house ends.

In the advertisment the office takes the opportunity to boast of India’s “bustling cosmopolitan cities”, “snow-clad mountains” and “long sandy coastlines”.

The open letter “to Jade Goody and friends” reads: “Dear Jade Goody. Once your current commitments are over, may we invite you to experience the healing nature of India.

“Being one of the world’s oldest civilisations, our land is one where the ancient and the modern co-exist and a multitude of religions live in harmony.”

It continues: “As a beauty therapist, you may be especially interested in visiting one of the many spas where you can cleanse your stresses away, enjoy yoga in the land that invented it and experience Ayurvedic healing which promotes positive health and natural beauty.”

I hope they aren’t offering her an all expenses paid trip to the country…that really would be one step too far.
