Heat Magazine's Harvey Jeer
November 27 2007

Magazine appears to poke fun at disability

heat magazineSomething, somewhere has gone very wrong with the approval procedure at Heat magazine if this week's issue is anything to go by. The celebrity magazine is on sale at the moment with a page of free stickers which includes an image of Katie Price's disabled son, Harvey, with a blurb saying 'Harvey wants to eat me!'

The sticker appears to be making fun of four-year-old Harvey's weight. Quite apart from the fact that taunting any child about their weight isn't funny or clever, the fact that Harvey's weight is caused by his condition, septo-optic dysplasia, makes the decision to print the sticker a stupid one as well.

What do you think about this? Should the magazine have published the stickers? Have your say in our new Talk! section by clicking here.

Update: Heat magazine have now apologised to Katie - for that story, click here.
