I recently read something in passing about Calvin Klein’s daughter having been kidnapped. It was briefly mentioned in a Tina Fey article I believe, but I can’t find anything on that story.

I get annoyed with double (or more) postings too, but every once in awhile, I get caught doing it too. And that’s because I often load several pages at a time. After I finish reading and commenting, some time has passed, someone else has made the same comment, but I don’t see it until my comment posts and reloads the page.

As an aside to the Getty kidnapping, there’s a book about the Getty family called Painfully Rich. Old man Getty was kind of a ass.

Actually, you can see who posted what, when. The two closest posts of the same topic were two minutes apart. So, it looks like Cassie was right.
I don’t really care either way, I was just curious.

I’m guessing Grandpa Getty was annoyed at his son’s reluctance to ransom his own son. Still, he was damned if he’d just pay the askig price, ears be damned!
There’s no dysfunctional like rich & dysfunctional.

@cassie

So in this whole wide world of people who visit this website, you don’t think it’s possible that a few of them can be writing comments at the same time?
