I can't get the video to play...

Saying that, I don't think I can possibly put into words how much I dislike 50 shades of grey.

You can try playing the embedded version on the HuffPost article page... or you can link to it via a free proxy site (by cutting/pasting this URL into the destination field on that site).

Or you can simply continue pondering the ultimate mystery of how a book that poorly written became so well read.

What do they say... 'you can't teach class' ?

:woohoo:

That should probably be in the humor section. It was hilarious and I am so happy that its in my life.

At the very end when they're pretty much all freaking out over how messed up it all is I couldn't help but think that a lot of the people who love this book probably hate gay people. Who're the sickos now.

ahaha! That's awesome. And so true.

I read that the author of the books was originally a writer of Twilight fan fiction and that the series developed out of some of her fanfic scribbles, which makes the whole phenomenon sufficiently more disturbing to me.

Glad you enjoyed it, Goken. I was just surprised by how awful the narrative and dialogue in the book are, to be honest.

I haven't read it, so I don't know whether those quotes accurately represent the book... Though to be fair, I don't see how these guys could expect written porn for the masses to be somewhat also literary art... Everything written for the masses is rubbish. Besides the Marquis de Sade's bibliography should be more than enough kinkiness for everyone (except perhaps Sade himself).

haha... Well, I don't think the reactions of these guys represent the whole of the gay community either, and I think the clip was primarily meant to be entertaining. As one of them implied, there is plenty of terrible gay erotica out there as well.

Remember Fifty Shades of Grey gas written as fan fiction to the horribly written Twilight series. Truthfully compared to Twilight, Fifity shades is actually much better....if you can even say that

I wasn't aware of that until recently. If the reading public is ready to accept fan fiction packaged in mass market paperbacks sold at the grocery store, that's all good. I just hope no one is pretending it's anything but that.

I appreciate the value and significance of most forms of consensual sex and even enjoy reading books with a little spice, so I can't fault readers for their curiosity. I read a few pages, however, and like someone said in the video clip, it is pretty "wordy." Sometimes less is more.

The book might have appealed more to me had Christian Grey been a vampire (not the sparkling kind, though).

Welcome to the dumbing down of society....too many books now cater to the lower levels of intellect...I'm no book snob but even I couldn't bring myself to read crap like that...it's not much more sophisticated than the "letters to penthouse" crap...and yet politicians are praising it....bleh

This video was great! Also, I also found another pretty wonderful video relating to a reading of that silly book. (Also NSFW)

I LOVE that video!!! I saw it before I read the book and nearly died I laughed so hard

As for the book... my friends and I have a rule. You have to read the book before you see the movie. Currently I regret this rule. I spent more time rolling my eyes and huffing at its utter stupidity than anything else. Ive read software manuals that were better written.

Im looking forward to the movie though.... but we arent going for the story line :evil:

:whistle: :laugh: :silly:

So naughty...I'm telling wes

I understand the fifty shades of grey series is a trilogy and not just 50 pages (your post said you only got through that much). What message is it sending in those first 50 pages?

Do you know if it's the same message by the end of the last book?

GILBERT GOTTFRIED??? WT &%$#^*!#. Sorry, was sitting here with my daughter when I decided to listen to this post. More like 50 shades of embarrassed!

Why is it you can't get to the mute button fast enough when someone is in the room with you?
