Just for the record, #417

There is little more infuriating than flipping through random blogs to kill a little time and finding yourself reading a non-alerted spoiler for a reality show you’ve wasted 8 or 10 or 12 weeknights of your life on.  Particularly when it’s in the context of the blogger telling everyone what a loser she is for watching it even once but she was sick and bored and hey, my friend says that his friend says that so-and-so wins.  For some reason these friends of friends are never wrong, you know?

[This is the bit where I admit that I watch America’s Next Top Model with a love bordering on obsession.  Ahem.]

[This is the bit where I say that if this makes me a loser, I’ll wear the big L proudly.]

[This is the bit where I’m all amused with how irritating this string of asides is, really.]

Anyway, my favorite spoiler story of all time has to be the one that one of my college professors loved to tell, about The Empire Strikes Back.  Her sister got to see it in advance of anyone else in the family (opening day, IIRC) and when asked how the movie was at dinner that night blurted out, “Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker’s DAD!”

Heh.
