DDD is haunted by mysterious echoes. mysterious echoes. mysterious echoes.
When looking at some product descriptions on deepdiscountdvd.com, I noticed some of the product descriptions have echoes - the last few words are inexplicably repeated. inexplicably repeated. inexplicably repeated.
For example, take this description of "Star 80" (which I only checked out because it sounded like a cheesy sci-fi movie):
The story of the tempestuous relationship between Playboy Playmate of the Year Dorothy Stratten and her manager-husband that ended in tragedy. manager-husband that ended in tragedy.
I seem to recall others, but the names escape me. escape me. escape me.
Can you find out products similarly haunted (especially if the echoes are funny / disturbing / appropriate, etc) and/or solve this strange mystery? strange mystery? strange mystery?

DVD Talk Ultimate Edition
I noticed that, but I only looked at one title. I didn't realize it was on more than that one. It could also be that "Jimmy Two-Times" from Goodfellas is in witness protection working as a synopsis writer for DDD.
Something else I noticed, I ordered a bunch of crap from my wishlist and it didn't clear all of them off of there after purchase. I think there were about 3 or 4 titles that stayed there even after I did a refresh and logged out and back in. I've got to say, their servers seem to be holding up much better this time. All my stuff went through really fast. I suppose it could be because the word is not out yet to the unwashed masses (non-DVDTalkers).

Funny, right after I read this, I go to "Huff s1" and see:
Huffstodt's life gets a sudden wakeup call, as he juggles his clinical insane patients and his occasionally crazy family. occasionally crazy family.
