My friends and I once drove by Chapters when the book was released, and yelled out "fake" spoilers. Their reactions were pure gold hahahaha.

They were referring to when the book was about to be released.

On the one hand that seems pretty rude but on the other it's really funny.

If I was there I would have laughed, even as a fan.

lol...My sentiments exactly.

I didn't get wrapped up in too many fads...I did play POGs and the PoKeMoN Card game in tournaments. I was pretty decent, I won fifty bucks!

I've never actually met someone who played the actual Pokemon card game, everyone I knew just collected them.

If this was a real story though, that person would be seriously messed up. Not for the whole killing themselves over a movie spoiler thing (which is obviously messed beyond belief as it is), but for the fact that they thought they would be able to avoid a spoiler that had been out there for about 5 years.

Its stopped being a spoiler, and is just part of the public knowledge.

I should admit though, I've gone to buy every Harry Potter book at midnight since Goblet of Fire =/

It isn't real news. Someone just made it up.

Yeah, Greg said that Perez probably figured out it was a joke and removed it.

Like how everyone searches up their symptoms and suddenly think they are the doctor?
