I wish that were a misleading inflammatory title but it’s not; the world is filled with douches. Already, people on digg are submitting misleading titles which link directly to spoilers for the entire final book of the Harry Potter series. Now, I’m not perfect; I laughed just like everybody else at that video of that asshole spoiling a midnight Harry Potter book release but enough is enough. You guys are douches. The whole world is a stinking pile of douche. (By the way, douche is the proper plural of douche, but it just sounds weird to say “you guys are douche.”)

I really wish that there were some people out there who would respect people’s desire to read a book without holing themselves up to avoid people spoiling it for them! Unfortunately, everybody seems to gain an inordinate amount of pleasure from these heights of douchebaggery. I don’t care if I read these spoilers because I’ve never read a single page of Harry Potter nor have I seen any of the movies but I can understand not wanting to be spoiled. When the super-sized spoilers for the Lost season finale came around a couple months back I ducked away. I didn’t want to know what happened because the mystery and the ultimate reveal is worth the wait. Do some people overract to being spoiled? Absolutely. But should you ruin it for the moderate readers who don’t want to be spoiled? But did you want to be told the twist to Fight Club or The Usual Suspects before you watched it?

Maybe I am unnecessarily exaggerating. Maybe this is only the increasingly immature voice of the digg mob with their five-year-old mind set. But I can’t explain it. Do these people have no restraint? No desire for suspense? No respect for the creator’s wishes? No respect for your fellow human being? Has the internet so completely destroyed your moral core by its anonymity? Or is it that the internet abolished any patience you may have once had through endless spoiler websites? Whatever the cause, I know that saying this will do nothing to change the mind of the degenerate spoiling assholes out there. But maybe, just maybe, some of the people out there simply following for the sake of the joke will consider that purposefully ruining a story these people have dedicated thousands of pages of reading time to might not be something you want to do.
