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).

Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.

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 :D

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:
