Hi! Gilbert Gottfried was on Joy Behar’s show today reading passages from 50 Shades of Grey. We thought you might get a kick out of it, so we thought we’d send it your way: http://current.tumblr.com/post/33267317266/fifty-shades-of-gilbert-gottfried-grab-a-glass
Enjoy!

Think about it for a minute. There’s a tiny, evil woman dancing around in Ana’s head, and she looks like this.
How do you get to Ana’s age without knowing what desire feels like? (Besides being asexual, I mean.) How do you get to Ana’s age without having once thought about or explored your sexuality?
I haven’t come to any conclusions yet, but the ideas I’ve had so far are worrying at best.
“It’s just a book!” Fifty Shades fans say. “It can’t possibly have an effect on people’s behavior in the real world!”
Think again.
“Sales of duct tape, cable ties and rope at a hardware store in a sleepy market town are booming - thanks to erotic novel Fifty Shades Of Grey.
“Women appear to be buying the equipment to use for sex games rather than for DIY jobs after picking up tips to spice up their love lives in the racy bestselling book.”
If Fifty Shades can cause noticeable changes in purchasing behavior of people who’ve read it, I don’t see why it couldn’t cause changes in other areas of behavior. Everything we read affects us.
Hi i just found your blog and i LOVE it. I just wanted to say that the thing that pisses me off most about this whole 50 shades crap is that people actually LIKE this piece of shit. Like how can you as a person sit there and read this book and not see how horribly written it is, how bad the character development is and how it promotes an emotionally abusive relationship. It just makes me sad that there are amazing books out there that no one is reading and this thing gets a movie uggghhhh!!!
I ran across this pin on pinterest and I just wanted to share my immediate reaction to it. “No, no, no, no, NO, nonono, no HELL NO, I WILL call the police.”
so this happened.... I was walking towards my parents bedroom were my mum was and when I reached the door (that was open) I saw something lying on the duvet. I approached the item and saw that it as in fact a book. I thought I recognised it and then it hit me. it was 50 SHADES OF FUCKING GREY ON MY MOTHERS BED AND I AM SERIOUSLY WORRIED FOR HER WELL BEING AND IF SHE WANT'S SMUT I CAN RECOMMEND SOME ACTUAL READ-WORTHY STUFF

Okay but recommending smut to your mother sounds incredibly iffy.
