Why do people "need" spoilers?
Wednesday, June 20, 2012 by Jafo | Discussion: Movies & TV & Books
I know everyone sees them on racing cars, especially Formula One, where it's evolved into a science and artform......
....but in reality 'low-speed' [that's what it is] aerodynamics will show they are as beneficial as the proverbial 'tits-on-a-bull' at anything RESEMBLING a legal speed limit.
Yes, an F1 develops enough downforce at 120mph to drive upside-down on a ceiling....[which is totally impractical], and even the road car I drive has a rear 'spoiler' added because designers discovered the car wanted to 'wander' at speeds around 130-odd.
OK, so they look 'groovy'....like Starsky and Hutch's 'stripes'....but really....
The issue is with people who insist on SPOILING other people's enjoyment of a film or TV series, etc.... why?....to show off that they have seen it already...or what?
Here's a hint.
It's called a "spoiler" FOR A REASON!
What say you learn communication skills which enable you to talk ABOUT a movie WITHOUT ruining it for anyone else, OK?
It's actually NOT THAT HARD.
And no, alerts are meaningless....and about as useful [usually] as warning someone you are about to shoot with..."this might hurt".
Remember the movie with the line "I see dead people"? Imagine how that can be SPOILED.
Saying [about Titanic]..."oh, the boat sinks in the end..." isn't quite the same thing....and that's where common sense kicks in....along with consideration for others.

Actually, it's not just growing on his buttocks.
Apparently some male crew members have it growing on their genitalia.
Oh shit, now I've gone and done a spoiler....
.... about the sexual shenanigans on particular STOS episode that has yet to air.
