PSA – Spoilers Suck
As mentioned recently on The Leaky Cauldron and reiterated by J.K. Rowling.
As much as I hate (and I do) the individual spoiling dickheads of the world, of which there are many. I even further resent the media and their propensity for spoiling left and right. Plot points are not NEWS. They are not part of what you need to inform the public about. If you fucking must, then put it no earlier than paragraph two and always warn in paragraph one. The dumbfucks who put spoilers in headlines should be fired, and perhaps fired at, or set of fire, or something involving an F word.
They have no excuse. The internet has been around for a long time now. VCRs and other recording devices have been around for a long time now. Time shifting occurs. People do not all have access to shows at the same time. People do not all get a chance to watch something or read something the first minute it is available, much less before it is available to the general public. Some of us are fucking busy with long to do lists trying to be decent halfway productive members of society. We also try to read the news occasionally so we can make decisions about important topics, like, elections for instance. We should not all be forced to remain uninformed about world events just to avoid finding out {insert some spoiler that totally fucked you over here}.
