So what are you doing to avoid Star Wars spoilers?

I've already started avoiding all three entertainment related sites I visit, including those for gaming, have put friends who are seeing the movie before me on phone and text time out, and will be off the internet as a whole from Thursday evening until I see it on Friday.

And anyone who posts a spoiler, real or fake, in this thread is getting a sharp poke to the eye.

I won't repeat it.

As to more of them, if I run into more spoilers, then I do.
Nothing worth getting all pissed off or crybaby about.

Nothing.

I won't see it until its shows up on HBO-Starz-Showtime. By then I'll have forgotten the spoilers.

Jedi mind tricks are very useful at avoiding spoilers.
