Abridged complaint, because I'm very angry and to leave it unabridged would be to curse like a sailor:

MMA and wrestling events have a 48-hour moratorium on spoilers. Why don't other big sporting events? I had the Super Bowl spoiled for me by two people making comments in the shoutbox, and I am most displeased.

[FLLatulent Fox]

MOST displeased!

You have to donate to get the unabridged version.

It's kind of worth it.

Sousa, stop being an e-bully. :rolleyes:

[DTASYSOP.EXE]

I really was prepared to see this and just go, "Wait, what the fuck, okay," but man.

[FLLatulent Fox]

HE JUST WANTS TO HEAR SORRY! OK? :crying:

[DTASYSOP.EXE]

I am sorry, I feel bad for the dude, but come on.

[FLLatulent Fox]

Don't patronize him with your pleas for forgiveness!

Why not just watch the Super Bowl before logging into EWB?

I mean yeah it sucks but the Super Bowl is a huge topic of discussion everywhere. Wouldn't you want to avoid every form of media until you get a chance to watch it? And wouldn't that include EWB?

This is a stupid suggestion.

Hi! You must be new here. Let me introduce myself!

See, I'm English. Shock horror, I know, given how little I talk about bangers and mash and chimney sweeps and the Queen and so on so forth, but it's true. Being English, we're ahead of the United States in so many ways (ahaha i kill me sometimes) but particularly in terms of time zones, so when things kick off at, say, six in the evening, they start here at eleven at night. Here's something else - I have a job, and that job requires me to be up rather early. Hence, staying awake until some ungodly hour is what we in Britland call a bad idea (which is also rhyming slang for Ikea. I know, them crazy Cockneys).

So, because technology is a marvellous thing, I thought to myself "Being the rum cove that I am, I should record the Super Bowl! And also find out what a rum cove is!" And so I did. It turns out a rum cove is an alcoholic. I did not know this. With that, I decided to join the Interblags for a spot of early-morning trolling when, to my undying horror, I saw spoilers! Spoilers far and wide! Spoilers as far as the eye could see! I dropped to my e-knees in pure shock! Darth Vader was Marty McFly's father! Ferris Bueller is made from people! He's people! Harry Potter and the berk from Twilight were both dead all along! I could see forever, and forever was staring back at me with it's middle finger raised!

And I cursed the heavens. I screamed out "Why, o merciful Lord? Why hast thou forsaken me, thine only son?! What manner of terror is this thing they call a status update?!" I acted my heart out, hamming it up like a bacon statue of Brian Blessed playing William Shatner's Captain Kirk, but there was no reply. God was silent. Like Friedrich Nietzsche before me, I knew that God truly was dead.

[Alternatively, I made the not-unreasonable assumption people here would keep the football discussion to the football threads rather than putting it on the front page, somewhere I couldn't fail to miss it. I like my retelling better.]

All this has taught me that people actually use the shoutboxes. I've had that shit minimized or whatever since it was added.

I like this post. This is a post that I like.

Maybe they figured the only people in England who care about the Superbowl are people as ragingly homosexual as Be and one of my housemates and so didn't care about spoiling it for them.

In which case, it becomes a hate crime and I will pursue my quest with the relentless vigour of the gay man! PunkRockPete must be made aware this board hates him and his kind too much! And Overload (with his penchant for girlboys) not enough! NOT ENOUGH!
