Dec. 20, 1940 … the New York Daily News wrote about Getty’s involvement with espionage at the Pierre Hotel in New York. 2003 documents declassified by UK Warfare Ministry reveal that Oct. 1941 the pro-Nazi Jean Paul Getty employed and lodged Nazis at his Pierre Hotel in New York City; Nazis who were involved in spying on and sabotaging Allied Forces’ war production plants.

Gavin

Tell Gordon Getty & the J.P. Getty Trust to pay their $6,440,000 bill at MacDonald Bank ...
I earned the Getty Oil Company shareholders Four Billion Bucks …
On the Reserve acquisition; the way they treat me … it really sucks!
As the Getty inheritors bask in glee;
All I asked for was that they look after me.
Four billion dollars they earned on Reserve …
My fee I surely deserve.
It turns out J.P. Getty may have been a Nazi;
His family even goes back to Germany ….
With Hitler, GÖring & Goebbels he did stand;
While trying to undermine the American land!
For paintings & artifacts he did receive;
With his oil he was able to deceive?
Hoover & the FBI & Roosevelt they knew …
That J.P. Getty & espionage he drew!
Many a young lad and Jew did die
As planes dropped bombs from the sky.
For years while Getty sat in Berlin
He may have committed many a sin.
The ashes and smoke from the chimneys it rose
While old man Getty sat cozy … he chose.
With artwork held tightly under his arm
Still dripping in blood … as the real owner met harm.
Into the ovens & on meat-hooks, bullets between the eyes …
Listen very carefully you can still hear their cries!
While the Gettys sit in England; at their estate at Wormsley;
And Gordon sings in San Francisco …
With his 727 in tow;
The Getty museum sits atop Malibu;
While the corpses of World War 2 scream … “J.P. Getty … We know you!”

I agree. Just the other night I swear I saw about half a dozen headlines using the formula.

Yeah, but I didn't say "on Twitter"! So I totally defied the formula!

not only that, he is "unfaithful" to his best friend . . . sleeping with your best friend's wife = breaking man rule #1 . . . .

Anyone else notice that the anatomy of the modern headline follows this formula?
[Insert celebrity name] Tweets [Insert whatever] on Twitter

Unfaithful to his wife why should it be any different when it comes to his job?
