Yesterday, this appeared in the Metro, quite small and on page seven
….let me be one of many people to say, I told you so and hooray that this shit’s had its moment in the sun. Here’s hoping the endless journalists that praised it because the public wanted to read about how it actually meant something for women, feminism and sexuality and print retractions and apologies for appealing to people’s wallets like a bunch of soulless corporate pandering twats.
Also hoping the Hollywood production stays in development hell for good. At the moment they seem to be having problems figuring out just how the hell to turn this into an R rated movie so as many people as possible can go see it. They will succeed eventually and I’m probably going to keep following that story because I’m a snarky vulture only following it so I can rip the shit out of it online.
As for pulping them now everyone’s stopped caring and donated them to charity, if you cut the spine off it’d be easy enough, these things aren’t that hard to slice up and its surprisingly enjoyable, you could get sarcastic evil mentally derranged people like me to do it for you, organise a “fuck the shit out of piles of Fifty Shades books for charity” event. Sponsor someone for destroying a copy in the most inventive way, it’d be fun. Bring the children and your sharpest piece of gardening equipment. I will personally give a prize to the first person who manages to find a way to destroy a copy of fifty shades of gray with a rotivator or trowel.
I mean eg. here’s a still from the final video of my epic torture porn parody part animated chapter by chapter review of this cultural atrocity (*spoiler warning*)
Before you ask – no I haven’t given the game away…and yes apparantly books bleed if you cut them in half, who knew.
