Spoiled Rotten

I really hate when TV show finales are spoiled. With DVR and on-demand viewing, I rarely watch shows when they are on live. Don't the reporters realize this? It's really difficult to avoid spoilers unless you live in a cave (lucky you, Osama).

If you want to report on a winner, DON'T put the name in your article title. Try AMERICAN IDOL WINNER CROWNED" instead of "KRIS ALLEN WINS AMERICAN IDOL". All you do by putting it in the title is piss off the people who didn't want to know.

Radio DJ's and TV talk show hosts, don't start off your segment with the name of the winner, instead let the audience know you are about to talk about the show so they can avoid a spoiler if they don't want to hear it. And, DON'T show a spoiler in your advertisement for an upcoming show! "Join us at 10pm when we talk to James Thomas Jr., aka JT, the winner of Survivor Tocantins."

That really spoils my day.
