It’s become an inevitable and unfortunate fact of the modern age, that with every series finale comes a parade of thoughtless spoilers.
This week’s victims, current and future fans of “Mad Men.”
Be warned, this blog post has a spoiler or two in it.
There was a time when people understood the grave sin that is ruining a finale for someone, nowadays publishers like TIME:

I don’t know who Peggy and Stan are, but I know how their story ends.
Yes, full disclosure, I’ve watched maybe a grand total of 5 minutes of the series, but I might watch it…someday, and now, thanks to just about everyone on the Internet, I know it ends with a Coke ad:

I get it, you’re excited, you want to share, but I don’t even watch “Mad Men” and I am not the least bit surprised it ended an iconic ad. Next time, just keep it to yourself.
…bi-daily smile…
