50 shades of Glasgow is my favourite twitter parody

With my panty hamster now much like John Wayne’s saddlebags, he thought it was time to start probing my cocoa channel.

lol! I read the first book yesterday. Well, I tried to. What utter tripe!

Absolutely and massively, more Dan Browne. Terribly written, but because Richard and Judy say its good, people who normally don’t read pick it up and say it’s good. Sales go through the roof.

There are books out there that will grab you by the entrails and thrash you around all night. Quality books you simply cannot put down. So much better than this trash and yet they are all missed because some TV presenters can’t understand them.

Get out there, stop listening to the sheep herders, challenge your own limits and just read what comes along. You don’t need to be told what to read. Just grab a book and give it a a go. Some will be terrible like this stuff, others will change your life. That’s not inane chatter, they will change … your….life. Read, now.

Not read it but I expect it has been driven by the publishing industry’s marketing hype, which is presumably aimed accurately at frustrated middle-aged women and then picked up by the Richard & Judy set and all the women’s magazine writers looking for some phwoar to report.

If nothing else it proves how good the book industry has become at selling garbage to gullible consumers.

There is another 50 Shades of Grey inspired parody on Twitter called 50 Shapes of Cakes @50Cakes – it touches on instances of the book, whilst dealing with pastry love, desire and obsession.

Get it while it is hot!

I haven’t read it, but since my Mrs has been I have seen a serious increase in sexual activity 😀

I have to agree with CountZero – Julie O’Neill’s Insatiable is much more fun…

Ohhhh now I get the new premier advertisement.
And it’s crap

Cheers, tommyk! I’m pretty sure a lot of women would bin their ’50 Shades…’ garbage if they copped a look at ‘Insatiable’ 😀

God damn you people and this stupid thread, now I’ve gone and ordered book porn!

*Self-edit*

Oh no CFH! I saw what you did!!

Haha post 69

I believe you ron, we all do that :/
