A two-panel SMBC comic titled "SMBC PRESENTS: FILM GEEK GOES TO A FORTUNE TELLER." Panel one: a red-haired man, seen from behind, sits facing a hooded fortune teller leaning over a glowing green crystal ball. She says, "I foresee you becoming so obsessed with experiencing media in just the right way that it will poison your ability to enjoy it." Panel two: a close-up of the man, eyes squeezed shut and fingers plugging his ears, shouting "SPOILERS! SPOILERS!" -- he treats the prediction about his own future as a spoiler to be avoided. Votey aftercomic (black-and-white sketch): the fortune teller adds, "You can prevent it," and the man, still grimacing with ears covered, again yells "SPOILERS!", refusing to hear how to avoid his fate.
