Some marvelous soul has compiled some of the most cringe-inducing lines from 'Fifty Shades of Grey'. My personal favorite: "I found some baby oil. Let me rub it on your behind."

I always feel a little sorry for authors when people cherry-pick lines like this, because it's easy to make something look stupid out of context. That popsicle line though? Oy. No good ever comes of comparing body parts to food.

And I kind of like this one: “Poor, f—ed up, kinky, philanthropic Christian.” My kind of character!

Oh, I know. I shouldn't be mocking this thing. It's bad karma all around; you won't hear me defending myself. What makes it even worse is that I'm horribly insecure about my own writing. I should know better! I DO know better! And yet...

Mainstream publication? A movie deal? For a mediocre spanking epic? Hot damn. There's just something about all this fuss that I can't stomach.

So that's the story. I'm catty and spiteful. Now you know. :)

They're going to make a movie of this? How? Isn't it wall-to-wall sex scenes?

I suppose the world is long overdue for another 9 1/2 Weeks or Wild Orchid.

HOW exactly they plan to turn this into a movie, I have no idea. But, yeah, it's happening. GIRD YOUR LOINS.
