A Monday morning laugh

[thistlechaser]

Excuse me while I die. :D Gilbert Gottfried reads Fifty Shades of Grey. NWS, of course.

Now I'm thinking I need to read this book, just for how funny-bad it will be. Gottfried should read the entire thing, it makes it even more awful!

I browsed a couple of pages at a B&N, mostly because the hubby kinda dared me to.

It was... well, lemme put it this way. If I really wanna read stuff like that, of that quality, there's tons of it free on the internet. :P

I could listen to Gilbert Gottfried say 'cli-TORIS' all day.

Heh! I heard it's really, really bad.

If I do go forward with this plan, I'm going to grab one of the free copies floating around the net. I do NOT want to add to the money the author is making from it...

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

YES! I really want to listen to it again, but I'm at work now, so must resist. :D

[avocado-love.livejournal.com]

I... would buy that.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Agreed. It would be so amazingly funny!

Ditto. I also vote for a reading of Twilight. It's like audio MST3K.

My coworkers go on and on about how good these books are. I will now hear this EVERY TIME they talk about those stupid books.

Also they get so offended when I tell them I'm really not interested in listening to them giggle about porn. They do NOT like me calling this crap for what it is and it entertains me so~ 8D

I know the book is selling millions of copies, but I just can't wrap my head around anyone actually liking them...

I hope this voice makes it better for you! :D

Worse? This is just the first of a trilogy. I really think people only like them because it's an excuse to read about sex that's 'okay' because it's 'popular'.

Or they just have really low standards of what's considered good written smut. Such porn noobs~

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

AND they're making a movie out of it. Ugh!

I think you're right about the low standards. Most of these people don't usually read that kind of stuff, so the first time it's "okay" to...
