Mood: LOLz

I am seriously calling into question the staff whome make up Nickelodeon's marketing and strategy department. The ramp up they're doing for the final episodes of Avatar is intense and all so secretly guarded, they've practically been making fans trip over themselves in hysterics with this crazy six month hiatus between new episodes. It's working, don't get me wrong, fans are psyched, they're vibrating off their chairs waiting for any new whisper of new episodes.

But then Nick goes and does something stupid like release the latest DVD containing the next two newest episodes before they even get a chance to air on television. Well, there goes their viewer numbers for the big "Boiling Rock" two-parter set to air in July, because now everyone and their dog has seen them pirated online.

No worries, they still have six entire episodes no one has any access to, they're keeping them under wraps, the grand 2-hour series finale is kept under lock and key.

...Except that some retard forgot that the series finale in children's book form just went on sale up on Amazon this week -- Avatar: Sozin's Comet is the last book in a set which adapts the episodes into narrative for children, and it only took five seconds of the first person to receive their Amazon order to post all of the series ending spoilers on every Avatar themed forum and LiveJournal community.

Kudos to you, Nick. You deserve some a Darwin award, but the guy who strapped a rocket engine to his car and drove into the side of a mountain just narrowly beat you to it. *Rolls eyes*
