Spoilers are the bane of our existence in the Internet age. If you want to avoid spoilers for a movie or TV series you're excited for it's probably best to avoid going online altogether lest some bigmouth who's seen it before you publicise the ending on Facebook or Twitter.

The Sixth Sense came out in 1999 when such things were less of a problem - just as long as you didn't have any mean-spirited friends to spoil it for you. Or you didn't live in China.

In China they decided to spoil the movie for an entire nation but giving away the now-iconic plot twist in the title itself. If anyone in line to see M. Night Shyamalan's "He's A Ghost!" was shocked by the relevation about Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) then you have to wonder if they knew what they were watching.
