#253 – Fifty Shades of Grey

14 09 2012

 ‘I had no idea giving pleasure could be such a turn-on, watching him writhe subtly with carnal longing. My inner goddess is doing the merengue with some salsa moves.’

Bylynda, curled up on the chaise lounge that she and Ben had just picked up from Gainsville for $5,000 interest free for 18 months*, quivered gently as E.L. James’ lucid, evocative prose coursed through her inner goddess.

While Ben sat in the study quietly fapped away on RedTube in the next room, Bylynda had her own moment of personal erotica.

‘His lips are parted – he’s waiting, coiled to strike. Desire – acute, liquid and smoldering (sic), combusts deep in my belly.’

This is fucked. Things Bogans Like is in no way a bastion of literary merit, and pretty much every human is guilty of slinging Dan Brown his 78c royalty at least once, but honestly DESIRE CANNOT BE LIQUID, SMOULDERING AND THEN COMBUSTIBLE. It simply can’t. Not even metaphorically.

Yet bogans the world over – millions of them – have somehow been convinced that some low rent, fairly inoffensive,  S&M fiction bearing the sentence construction of a 15 year-old LOTE student is worthy of two sequels and a reinvention of the femme-bogues’ concept of feminism.

‘”You’ve really got a taste for this, haven’t you, Miss Steele? You’re becoming insatiable,” he murmurs. “I’ve only got a taste for you,” I whisper.’

Did we mention that the protagonist’s name is Anastasia Steele? Because it is. It’s the Max Power of femme-bogue porn books.

Ms Steele is a barely-post-teen naïf who has never been with a man in any capacity (yet is somehow fully aware of how enormous her new beau’s cock is without need for comparison). Naturally, she is ‘caught in the web’ (without proof, it is certain this phrase exists either in the book or blurb) of Christian Grey, a ludicrously handsome 27 year-old millionaire who proceeds to tie her to various things and have tame, vaginal intercourse with her, during which she successfully climaxes every time, with stunning realism and exquisite prose.

‘I close my eyes, feeling the build up…pushing me higher, higher to the castle in the air.’

“CASTLE IN THE AIR”

‘Oh my…I didn’t know it would feel like this…didn’t know it could feel as good as this. My thoughts are scattering…there’s only sensation…only him…only me…on please…I stiffen.’

The she-bogan…is suddenly aware of…the existence of porn that can be…accessed in public…with…ellipses. Read on a train…at work…anywhere, really….all the while successfully raising the femme-bogue’s expectation…that her home-bogue will be…able to sustain his…mountainous erection for…long enough to bring her to climax…using…only his…knob…end and…terrible text.

‘Christian follows with two sharp thrusts, and he freezes, pouring himself into me as he finds his release.’

Christian can freeze and pour at the same time. This is impenetrable, hence deeply appealing to the bogan’s inner goddess.

‘My inner goddess is beside herself, hopping from foot to foot. Anticipation hangs heavy over my head like a dark tropical storm cloud. Butterflies flood my belly – as well as a darker, carnal, captivating ache as I try to imagine what he will do to me.’

‘That’s the bottom line. I want to be with him. My inner goddess sighs with relief. I reach the conclusion that she rarely uses her brain to think but another vital part of her anatomy, and at the moment, it’s a rather exposed part.’

…yes, that inner goddess.

‘We pick up the rhythm…up, down, up, down…over and over…and it feels so…good. Between my panting breaths, the deep down, brimming fullness…the vehement sensation pulsing through me that’s building quickly, I watch him, our eyes locked…and I see wonder there, wonder at me. My insides practically contort with potent, needy, liquid desire.’

The presence of so much liquid in this book is something of a reassurance to the bogan. Once it has accepted that it has a tenuous grasp on the concept of metaphor (need we remind you of the merengue at the top?), any metaphor becomes instantly salacious and literary.

 ‘”Look at me,” he breathes, and I stare up into his smoldering gray gaze. It is his Dom gaze – cold, hard, and sexy as hell, seven shades of sin in one enticing look.’

After serenading the bogan with E.L. James’ wondrous elicitation of forbidden poon tang, let us serenade you with the bogan literary review, overheard in a Melbourne workplace:


“I’ve been reading heaps lately, just finished 50 Shades of Grey”
 

 “Yeah, that’s on my bookshelf” 

“Can’t wait for the next one, I’ve got it on order, 50 shades of Darker I think it is” 

 “I’ve heard it’s just as good”

 

Eat your heart out, E.L., if that is your real name (protip: it isn’t).

Thank you. Those few excerpts have confirmed my suspicions and reaffirmed my resolution never to even pick up that particular piece of literary drivel. (Except maybe… to paraphrase chunks… after I select… a horny female nom de plume… and get to work… writing my internet masterpiece…). After a few tumblers of Islay mouthwash, of course.

There were even worse knockoffs at Myer. More designer name dropping, rather devil wears prada meets shades, meets hustler magazine ( and I havent seen one since age 12, so I dont even want to KNOW whats in them NOW.)
Having a peruse of another such, in storeoom, I think I may be scarred for life. Im a open minded woman (mispent youth, very) but I read things that really grossed me out.
And we sell this PORN right next to Nigella ( food porn) and kids books!
Cover versions of sisters of mercy ‘marian’ ( complete with wispy faux lesbia vocals) on musak, miss shop has lyrics of people shouting about getting it up the booty ( and full on fucking, mind you.ewww)

I heard that this started out as Twilight fan-fiction. It seems that it’s just as badly written as Twilight, which I tried to read but could only get through half of the first chapter. I thought Andrew Bolt’s writing was the epitome of dumbing down prose so the bogan could understand it, but Twilight goes even further.

Thank you, TBL. Thank you.

After ploughing through The Da Vinci Code, Twilight and Eat, Pray, Love, I promised myself to never again read a book that is popular with people who don’t read books.

Recently a friend on Facebook asked for “good book recommendations” and was keenly proffered Fifty Shades and Twilight by her bogettes BFFs.
I wondered if the end of the world may really be nigh…

As for the book, “Have you read ‘Fifty Shades Of Grey’?” is the best pick-up line of 2012: if the target answers in the affirmative, one knows it’s time to quickly move onto the next potential recepticle of one’s molten liquid explosions.

Sorry, to clarify, from the post quote where inner godess is mentioned I knew that this book was not for me. Actually I probably knew that quite a while ago so maybe more like an affirmation of my thoughts. The boys are showing good form after their lay off. This book has been discussed by various mid aged ladies at my place of work. My mind tends to wander when this happens but apparently no thinks it is written very well (duh) but they read it anyway!? Anytime inner goddess or suchlike is mentioned I retreat to my happy place, no good can come from me entering that conversation, let me assure you.

“Just days after the Aussie crooner confirmed he had defected from highly successful Australian franchise, The Voice, to the American reality program, his paycheck his been revealed – and it’s a lot less than his American judging panel counterparts.
Perez Hilton reports Urban will take home between $3-5 million dollars, which is approximately a third of the rumoured $12 million his new co-judge Nicki Minaj will be recieving for her debut season.
It’s approximately a quarter of the $18 million returning judge Mariah Carey landed for her second year, and similarly paltry compared to Ryan Seacrest’s $15 million hosting wage.”

Do you people really think that this book initially sold more than a handful of copies? Like payola (see. globally consolidated music industry) this has been going on for nearly 100 years. They consign books or music (unsold) and claim this as the basis for “Top-Seller” charts. If people derive their tastes from statistics and propaganda, they don’t deserve to hear or see anything of value.

But I meant the gen ys making music suck. Not people like you who know what good music is.

Grunge and alternative killed rock, it got so depressing and too left and poncy and weak and talentless and everyone went to dance and techno and rap crap, and then the pokies came in and killed live music.

That’s crap Simon 80s pop was good. At least they knew they were cheesy and ghey.

But to their benefit and ours, gen y seem to have woken up to how ghey they are.

“Awww facebook is so sicK! Look at how many friends I’ve got, awww. ”

“aww, maybe we aren’t so cool and are just a bunch of plebs like everyone else, awww, I thought that tatt I got and that bit of facial hair would mean it would make me immune from being a gaylord not guarantee it.”

I have no idea who those bands are, except for Grinspoon, they had half a good song didn’t they? They were popular with goth bogans.

I’m getting pretty crusty. I like it, it means I don’t feel the need to pay, wow, $165 for bogan day out. That’s a lot of beer.

I’m going to Future solely for the Stone Roses and because the woman I’m currently giving #124 to gave me a ticket. Big Day Out can swallow jizz though.

Simon – You forgot Metallica headlining Soundwave.

I might go to day on the green. Angels, Hoodoo Gurus, Baby Animals. Sounds like your kind of thing Martin. Don’t forget to put suntan lotion on your head.

It’s sad really, the only bands capable of headling a show are old. What’s going on Ash, surely this can’t be right?

And RHCP have sucked since 91 but that was a great album.

Oh and Martin, Grinspoon have always sucked.

I wouldn’t go. The only people who see old bands are bogans with fat guts and too much debt in unhappy marriages with unwanted children so they can relive the good old days when they were unencumbered and there was a bee’s dick chance in hell that they might become something more than another bogan fucktard.

They are my sort of bands though. But I like to think I like them out of more than just self interest and just as much from a social engineering perspective, and also because they were better than the gen y gaylord stuff there is now.

It’s very good marketing. How do you get a bunch of vapid status obsessed yogan gold diggers who think they’re all good and classy but are really just hos to buy a piece of shit that should be $1 in coles in the mills & boon section?

You have the word grey in it, which is like the colour of their 4WDs and their personalities, you have the phrase 50 shades in it, which implies being artsy and you have a rich man in it.

Brilliant, as the poms would say.

Oh and as TBL says have declare some sort of feminism to it, so they can forget they’re a ho and pretend they’re empowered and shit.

I have a cookbook … ’50 Ways with Chicken’ … from 1991, so not very artsy; quite meaty though. Author is from Sussex … brilliant! and she has written 26 books on the ‘subject’ … brilliant again, but the mind boggles.

Other titles in the series: ’50 Ways with Salads’, ’50 Ways with Pasta’ and ’50 Ways with Vegetables’. … mmm, gives a whole new meaning to empowerment.

On the subject of it being poorly written, do a word search in the text to see how many times the author uses the work “cocked” in the book, as in, “he cocked his head”. Seriously…get a thesaurus!

for a moment, i thought that was going to read ‘ he cocked her.’
does that exist yet, or have I coined a meme?

Kombie Wombi, No Returns

Could we have jeans on push bikes and shorts on motorbikes please. They’re both equally ridiculous. Even outlaw bikie gangs aren’t tough enough to ride without leathers, but somehow bogans think they are more resistant to the road ripping flesh from their bones. As for jeans on pushbikes, they wouldn’t wear jeans jogging, what makes them think they’re suitable on a bike? Once upon a time a bogan would have their footy shorts to wear on the pushy, but these days no bogan actually plays sport.

Oh, and motors under 50cc. Apart from lawnmowers: bogan. Especially those kits they put on push bikes to motorise them. On the plus side, those bikes are a handy aural warning that the driver has DUIed their car license. And they ride like it too.

I also think the unnecessary wearing of PPE (flouro clothing) has moved from being a mark of a tradie going to or from work to being the preferred non-branded clothing of the bogan. The same goes for wearing work ID cards and keys when not at work.

Putting the radio on at work: bogan. If only because it’s always on 5AA where they are always talking about the bloody Crows.

Protein supplements because you are working out: bogan. Seriously most bogans shouldn’t be let anywhere near weights, they’d be much healthier doing more cardio to get their weight acceptable. And when the TGA banned Jacked3D you should have heard the wailing.

Discussions using the words “unconstituional” and “violation of my rights”: bogan. Basically the Consitution gives you three rights: you can follow any religion without the state being upset; you can vote (and thus also talk about politics); and if the government pinches your stuff it has to pay you.

You know its funny reading your review now you mention it I only heard about it from woman, typical. A millionarie having sex, no guy would want to read about a millionaire that gets the girl, we men like patrick swayze because he doesnt need money. These female authors should stop writing romance there pretentious and all hype

FSoG - epitome of bogan literature

Reading the small amount of drivel – I mean, dialogue from the book (I couldn’t actually read the lot that you quoted, it was making me gag) has well and truly confirmed that my choice to never read the book was a good one. ‘Mummy porn’ is not a new concept – it just has a name that makes it sound like it has only just been created by the published works of E.L. James. What a load of shit.

Little off topic, sorry.

Oh dear, I found this place only yesterday.

It all started well, having a good laugh, but now all i have is fear, this place is just scary because of it’s accuracy.

Hit a little close to home when I realized that my ex was %100 bogan 😦
Here I am thinking “it’s ok, shes from the country, they are just a little different” the whole time i was living a lie.

The signs should have been obvious:

Love for Australia’s home videos.God how I cringe at just the audio let alone actually watching the tripe.

She had some god awful made up name for her first girl child , most likely thought of when she was 15,my brain has forgotten it, but rest assured it was awful.

Years of pestering to get that oh-so-fasionable belly ring, even when she really didn’t have a belly worthy of exhibition.

Desire for “tramp stamp” which im sure she no doubt has now, hell she got a tongue ring just after we split, we all know what that’s for.

Finished paying of her first decent car, only to proclaim “I like the look of that SS in the car yard there, might see if i can get it on finance” ARGHHH you want kids, yet put a totally unnecessary performance car over something like, BUYING A HOUSE!

Almost had to tazer her to keep her out of hardly normals “but its interest free” ARGHHH!

Any time I would bring any intelligence to an argument I would just get hit with F’s and C’s, sigh.

Her mother was a classic example as well, last husband was pretty well of (not a bogan and not a bad guy) so she ended up with 150k or so when she left him.Now I don’t know about you guys, but I would put a priority on maybe BUYING A HOUSE.What did she do? New car every year with the old one sold at a massive loss, plenty of big TV’s,playstation,wii’s,designer pets that get dumped/given away when the novelty wares off and massive fish-tanks filled with expensive fish that they lack the skill to maintain so they inevitably die.Sigh…

I’m sure there is more, I guess I’m lucky she booted out (pregnant within weeks of leaving me) because I wouldn’t allow here to get that tramp stamp,ss commodore,give here that belly fruit she so desired to give it a stupid name and watch things on TV that made me want to cut of my ears and poke my eyes out!

Am I now a bogan by association? I only wish I had found this place earlier…

She should be shot just for the fish.
Reminds me- treating dogs like stuffed animals, by leaving them alone 24/7 so they go mad and BARK CONTINUOUSLY, ALL DAY ALL NIGHT EVERY F_ING DAY.
I watched my ex husband go mad that way. He had a sleeping disorder to begin with. I surprised he didnt take a leaf from the USA code of psycho’s manual and get naked with a deer rifle on top of a post office.
( I work in retail, you learn to tune out enormous amounts of soul destroying sounds, or commit suicide.)
