But, one of the bad things about these inventions is that people will wait several days before watching the season finale of some show and then bitch and whine when they hear or see spoilers. And it makes it much harder to discuss shows because there will always be someone screaming about spoilers. Even in a forum titled "Mad Men season finale discussion and reaction HERE!" where people are, you know, discussing the freaking show, there will be people bitching and whining about spoilers. So, we all have to wait until these slackers finally get finished watching every episode of last season's "Bill Engval Show" before they get around to watching something good.
I understand that people who live on the West Coast don't want people tweeting spoilers on Twitter before they even get a chance to watch the show. That makes sense. Kinda. I mean, they could just stay off twitter. But for how long should we all wait before discussing a show? One day? Two days? Personally I would think no more than 24 hours. If it’s been two or three days and you still haven’t seen, say the Mad Men season finale, then you might not have been that big of a fan of the show anyway.
I think I will give people a pass for 24 hours and after that it’s up to them to just stay off the internets if they don’t want to be subjected to spoilers.
Unless it’s a sporting event. If you DVR a sporting event to watch later that night or the next day then you don’t get to bitch and whine when someone gives the score or talks about a big play. There’s nothing I can’t stand more than someone on Twitter or Facebook telling everyone else not to mention a football or baseball game because they are DVRing it. Fuck you! Stay of the net and let everyone else enjoy the game the way they want to. The whole damn internet world doesn’t revolve around you.
So anyway my non-spoiler review of Sunday night’s “Mad Men” finale?
Freaking awesome!
So, what’s your position on spoilers?
