Have you ever let a spoiler slip without meaning to because you thought enough time had passed? Just what is proper spoiler etiquette? The folks over at CollegeHumor have teamed up with some of your favorite stars to give you a hilarious PSA about the Official Spoiler Rules.

The worst spoiler for me didn't come from a friend or surfing the Internet, but in 1999 when I bought The Phantom Menace soundtrack before the film's release. As I held the CD case in my hot little hands, I scanned the track list and I read the title of track 15: Qui-Gon's Noble End. Nooooooo!

I had consciously avoided spoilers for Episode I, but they still found me. I'm trying not to spoil any of Star Wars for my daughter. It's no easy feat. She caught a glimpse of the poster for Episode III and pointed at Obi-Wan and Anakin dueling. She asked, "Mommy, who is fighting?" A million ways to answer ran through my head as I tried to not spoil anything. I finally answered, "Obi-Wan is fighting Darth Vader." Oops.

Have you ever been inadvertently spoiled, or let one loose yourself? (Don't forget to follow spoiler etiquette when sharing!)
