I hate Something Awful.

Eric got on my computer and went to the site. He left the window open. I opened my computer and closed the window, and what catches my eye on the bottom of the screen?

A fucking HARRY POTTER SPOILER.

I hate Something Awful so fucking much right now. Not cool.

BEAT HIS ASS. I'm like tip-toe-ing through lj avoiding spoilers hahahah.

I hate spoilers. I'll hate Something Awful with you.

On a side-note, one of my co-workers found the manuscript for the first ten chapters and she printed them off and handed them to all the co-workers that wanted a copy. So I've had to deal with everybody reading the first ten chapters while I'm over here preaching about how unethical it is.

I dunno, if I was an author I was be infuriated if the populace got a hold of the first ten chapters before-hand. I know they're still going to buy the book, but it still feels unethical to me. They shouldn't be reading it before the book's released! It's just wrong.

Sorry, that was moi. I had no idea I was under anonymous, nor do I see a reason my computer would do that. Oh well.

I do not understand. How is "it is what it is" an acceptable justification for an attempt to ruin this book for me?

Revealing a major plot twist seems to be something that would ruin ANY book, no matter how good it was.

Also, I am frustrated when anyone tells me things I don't want to know about a book I either am reading or plan to read. If someone had told me the end of 1984 before I read it, I would be intensely irritated with that person, even though the ending was expected. The spoiler I read was expected, but it still frustrated me, and weakened that point in the book. I still read the book happily, though. The point that "I would still happily read the entire thing" is useless. I did still happily read the entire thing, and still enjoyed the book.

If someone told you that, at the end of King Kong, that Kong died, before you saw the movie, would you not be irritated?

And this book is real. I promise you. I see it sitting right next to me. : P
