She is not a New Yorker. Just a carpetbagger.

Exactly. Maybe none of us can identify with being a supermodel (I know I can't!) but an American clinging to a palm tree in the water for 8 hours with a broken pelvis after watching her boyfriend swept away... I'm sorry. That's newsworthy. Not as newsworthy as all the horrible deaths. But newsworthy.

Poor thing. She won't be doing that again.

Dear Petra,

Have a sandwich! A pickle! Anything!

Dear Petra,

After your wounds heal, please continue to do exactly what you have been doing.

Life is a series of balances. For all good that comes to you, so shall bad visit upon thee.

That's why I never buy lottery tickets, except insurance. I'm afraid I might win and use up my good karma all at once!

She's a human being. Regardless of her status or wealth, she endured something horrible, the same as everyone else. My heart goes out to every single person who was involved in that horrible catastrophe. Every one of them regardless of their status.

I know it's the sky behind her, but at first glance it looks like a huge wave, really weird.

I think the PETTY people here on this thread are the little people who can't afford or will never travel to an exotic island EVER...the asinine remarks that sputter off their fingertips is a form of jealousy...

Thailand is a favorite spot for the International Pedophilia Association.

I noticed two things on the TV news last night. 1.) Coverage of this disaster began after the first commercial break, the lead stories being "storm coverage" and "tragedy on 128" - another nitwit rolled her suv and bought it. 2.) When they finally got around to mentioning that scores of thousands of non-beautiful people may have perished in Asia, they showed film from Thailand of all shirtless western men at a "resort" on the coast.

PS: Checkout my new tagline.
