Finally, an app that sends Game Of Thrones spoilers to your enemies
AV Club ^

Posted on 06/23/2016 6:32:37 AM PDT by MNDude

The world of Game Of Thrones is filled to the brim with evil, scheming psychopaths who think nothing of exacting the most unthinkably heinous punishments and persecutions upon enemies and strangers alike. That’s probably why the HBO series is so popular—it’s remarkably similar to the real world. Case in point: A few sinister maesters of technology have created an online service, Spoiled.io, that will, for just 99 cents, anonymously text show spoilers to anybody deserving (or undeserving) of a little distress.

The surprise-ruining tidbits are dispersed throughout the world by automated Faceless Men immediately after the newest episode airs, and they will continue until the spoilers run out at the end of the season. This global force of evil comes compliments of Chicago residents Ross Hettel, Hunter Lane, and Joe Mainwaring, who say they drew inspiration from a Reddit post by a dude who’s been similarly tormented by a righteously vengeful ex-girlfriend.

Who has enemies? People who’ve confused their tv shows with real life?

Ramsay Bolton got what he deserved. While Sansa walks away, at first she has a serious look, but she breaks into a smile. You go girl!

Huh? People post spoilers after the new episodes? Do they not realize that there’s a book series that’s a good 5 or 6 seasons ahead of the show?

This would have been true up until the last season or so. The TV series surpassed the book toward the end of last season. Even with that being said, the books and TV series are not exactly the same. They tell the same general story, but diverge in several places.

I agree with Stannis on the importance of grammar. I disagree with him on human sacrifice. All an all I’d still prefer him to Dany or Tommen (Joffrey was the good one! Unbelievable).
