Previews
I have a vein-throbbing hatred of previews. No, I don't want to know what's going to happen next week: if I know that, there's no point actually watching it, is there? And, oh look, that character who seemed to have been killed at the cliff-hanger ending we just watched, they're alive and well next week, so setting that ending up was a complete waste of time, wasn't it?

No, I don't want to see all the best bits of the new film: If I did, I'd spend the entire film wondering when they're going to come up, or having a self-induced "spoiler" as I work out what must happen in order for that scene to occur later. Tell me who's in the film, who made it, what kind of film it is, then let me watch the fucking film in the proper order with no pre-knowledge!

The stupidest ones have to be on any show which features funny videos or internet clips. Before the ad-break they preview the clips that are going to come next - thus removing any possible point in showing them again. Then they show them again.

And I really can't understand those "Soap" magazines. OK, so I can't stand soaps anyway, but if I did watch them, what possible reason would I have to read a magazine that tells me what's going to happen??? Doesn't that defeat the whole point of watching it? And - wait - you want me to PAY for that spoiler, too?

OK, I need to wipe the flecks of rabid drool from the corners of my mouth now.
