The phrase, "It's only a TV show", comes to mind.

The phrases, "Get a life" and "looking for a quick buck" come to mind.

Funny article, but I'm thinking that it can't be a real site. Especially after reading this one:

Whether it's true or not

Isn't this article in itself a spoiler for OTHER people who are watching season 1?

The Brokeback Mountain "review" is also hilarious.

A great site! Very much like "The Onion" in Hollywood.

If this was actually real, wouldn't it have made more sense to sue the newspapers and tv news that pointed out that these actors stared on Lost?

(Yes, it's a hypothetical question about the rationality of a hypothetical crazed fan.)

After all, if the "star" is arrested but you never hear about it is it a spoiler?



And of course, this should hasten a transition to e-ink based newspapers and interactive tv news purely to support <spoiler> tags, and force people to actively choose to see the spoiler and thus remove liability for the spoiler from the news organization. ;)

I was so hoping it was real.

Rather than sending PMs telling people they are breaking the spoiler rules, only to have them write me back and tell me I suck. Oh, and they can use the forum anyway they want.... I could have just filed a lawsuit. :up:

;) :D
