There's apparently a Twitter feed called 50 Sheds of Grey too. I don't Twitter.

I'm waiting for the porn parody - 50 Shades of Gay
However, Liefeld is an enigma wrapped in a pouch-filled, muscular, footless conundrum.

I did a kobo search earlier for F. Scott Fitzgerald AND THIS SHIT CAME UP IN MY SEARCH!!!

I wrote an impassioned ALLCAPS email to the Kobo team stating that their disregard for their customers is absolutely atrocious.

Nonetheless, I did manage to get the books I wanted.

edit: The F SCOTT FITZGERALD books I wanted, that is.

I find that most anything with a name that large groups of women abbreviate tends to suck.

Examples:
"50 Shades" = 50 Shades of Grey
"Grey's" = Grey's Anatomy
"Blue" = an awful local club called the Blue Martini

there are more that aren't springing to mind...

I'm not defending the books, but girls are more mentally stimulated and most men visual. You guys get bad acting and scripts, we get bad writing. Who cares how atrocious it is if it gives men a chance to get laid after she reads a little? This gives you the chance to freely skip out on the foreplay you already do and the woman having to fake an orgasm because of the lack of.

If 50 Shades gets people from this place laid, then it has performed more miracles than in the Bible.

And on the twelfth day of Chimpmas, Kong created the smutty novel and the beer goggles, and He said "let there be lay."

And there was booty, and Kong saw that it was good...
