On July 17, 2007, in anticipation of the final Harry Potter book, and as a possible continuation of the Titlebar Night of the Unicorns, Max created a header on the main page (even in custom pages) with a new category: Harry Potter Spoilers. In it, under different titles, was the same site: DOBBY HEDWIG FRED AND SNAPE DIE! HARRY MARRIES GINNY; NEVILLE BECOMES A TEACHER by Xizer, with the Gay Fuel Disco Remix as the background sound.
The YTMND community promptly responded by inventing a new "Sub-fad" of Snape Kills Dumbledore... Spoilers. Each site usually has the same song, and often points out very obvious spoilers.
On July 19, 2007, max posted news about a legal threat received from Scholastic. [1] Also on that day, max posted a subliminal message that flashes on the front page that shows the same spoilers.
Interestingly, the site SPOILERS FOR SONIC'S ADVICE, created almost two years earlier, also used a different version of Tarzan Boy (Gay Fuel) as the background sound, suggesting the connection between the sound and the spoiler fad goes farther back.
