Wal-Mart recently announced its Harry Potter spoiler policy with a rather amusingly-written poem:
Wal-Mart’s Pledge to Harry Potter Fans
There’s plenty of excitement brewing,
As the final chapter draws near;
But hearing the story’s end from others,
Is what magicals and muggles all fear;
So at Wal-Mart worldwide we’ve decided,
To make a pledge to our customers that’s clear,
We’ll keep silent on what we discover July 21,
So you buy without fear of reveal here.
JK Rowling they aren’t, but it’s a great sentiment. Some stores are even handing out earplugs for the even more nervous.
Club Jade will also make all attempts to keep the spoilage off of our pages (if any of us can even stand to look for fear of getting spoiled ourselves) with plenty of warnings and links.
I think people are **seriously** overreacting to the ‘threat’ of spoilers, but then, I’ve already been spoiled…
There’s only one last chance to enjoy a Harry Potter without knowing what’s coming next. I’m going to be pretty anal about it.
It’s all about the experience, man. (Dude.)
Speak for yourself, Dunc — I think I might borrow Sir Dan’s Episode II blindfold!
*sticks head back in sand*
How can it be “overreacting” when any evil person can make an icon telling all! Or someone evil could post to a community with an evil header…
For those that want to know as they “read”, this week is Hell.
