The New York Post‘s “Page Six” column is reporting on the “vitriolic” war of words being waged between Internet gossip mongers Harry Knowles (Ain’t It Cool News) and Matt Drudge (The Drudge Report) over comments by Drudge about the surprise twist at the end of Planet of the Apes. Knowles tears into Drudge for not posting a traditional “spoiler” warning, an omission, he writes, that “only a complete and total bleephole would commit.” Drudge responded: “Reporting on a controversial news-making scene in a coming movie … is called a spoiler?” Alluding to Knowles’ renowned girth, Drudge continued that he thought the term “spoiler” applied to “the many cakes, brownies, cookies, eclairs, doughnuts, Ho-Hos and Snoballs currently rotting under your keyboard.”
