A ‘Spoiler Alert’ website exists for those who wish to skip all the drama (9 Photos)

Have you ever thought to yourself, "I have no interest in a particular film and would rather get the CliffsNotes of how it ends in a short & snackable description?" Well, the website Spoil Me might just be the simple solution for you. The website is made with the sole purpose of ruining any suspense or drama and cutting to the chase as to exactly how any selected film ends. All the user has to do is type a movie in the search bar and a funny, cut & dried summary of the film's conclusion will pop up, and in some cases more than one synopsis will surface. The site even has a sinister feature that allows the user the ability to share spoilers via Twitter, Facebook and email to a poor unsuspecting public -- although we DO NOT CONDONE this action!! But if you're short for time and frankly could care less about hearing of a movie's outcome, then spoilers are easy to find in a humorous manner on Spoil Me. Oh, and BTW, here are a few SPOILERS AHEAD -- BE WARNED...

Because of this, specific glassware is needed for different types of beers to truly capture all the associated flavors. Let's take a look at several glasses and the styles of beer they compliment.
