Damn you Team USA facebook feed!!!

[joenali]

I just checked my FB and now I know things I didn't want to know until later. All of these spoilers are spoiling the Olympics!!

[luvmygsp]

I know!! Stupid Fb & twitter!

Its actually made me more excited to watch tonight! Im a huge swimming & gymnastics fan, & the mens gymnastics did so bad last night, it was so disappointing! Now I can't wait to watch the women kick ass!!

[keweenawlove]

Stay off off of MSN. It's the default internet page for one of our lab computers. The women's gymnastics and swimming results are right fround and center.

Do these news outlets know how much they are pissing off the general public? What's the rush to get it all out there, when half the world hasn't even seen it yet?

[keweenawlove]

I know. At least people is getting better. Their headline is SPOILER: How did the U.S Women's Gymnastics Team Fare at Finals?
It's there if you want it and obvious not to read it if you don't.

Agreed!!! I have been avoiding FB and social media so I could watch the events at night, but of all things I received a Washington Post News Alert on my work blackberry!! Ugh! How frustrating!!

I was so angry earlier when my MSNBC app spoiled me on a result with a notification on my phone. All news app notifications have been disabled now.

I got the same one, and have also been avoiding FB and news sites. Grrr. It said Spoiler, but then gave it away in the same damn line. Duh.


Eta: not sure why the martini glass showed up. Proboards thinks I need a drink!

Seriously, if you put Spoiler in the subject line, at least put the spoiling news in the body of the email instead of in the subject line! Then the reader can decide whether or not they want to read the spoiling news.

Oh, and yay for a drink. I could use one today too

[Wines Not Whines]

I got spoiled about gymnastics, too. Grrrr.

I know, right, I just need to stay off Facebook and msn.com until the event is over that I want to see. I've had several of the swimming finals spoiled now b/c of those. Bastards!
