Guantanamo detainees can’t get enough ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’
Washington Times ^ | Tuesday, July 30, 2013 | By Jessica Chasmar

Fifty Shades of Grey, the salacious best-selling E. L. James novel often referred to as “Mommy Porn,” is the most popular reading material among Guantanamo detainees in the secretive Camp Seven, Rep. Jim Moran learned last week.

“Rather than the Quran, the book that is requested most by the [high-value detainees] is Fifty Shades of Grey. They’ve read the entire series in English, but we were willing to translate it,” the Virginia Democrat, who advocates for closing Guantanamo, told the Huffington Post. “I guess there’s not much going on, these guys are going nowhere, so what the hell.”

They should just issue them Kindles.. or sumthin’, save the hassle of pampering the little murderous bastards.

Don't be surprised.

I haven't read the book, but I've heard the "cliff notes".

The entire series is about a BDSM relationship between a young woman and a slightly older man.

It's all about the man dominating the woman, in various ways. I can see how it would appeal to Muslim terrorists.

Sexual grooming and pedophilia. What more could Muslim men ask for?

Painfully insipid book. Hope their heads explode from the sheer stupidity of it.

A friend of mine uploaded a paragraph for me. I was like ... “but this is so badly written!!” LOL... I couldn’t get past it, I thought, man, even Anne Rice was better than this.

It's horrible!

It's not sexy, he's a stalking, control freak and she doesn't even have room temperature I.Q.!

This is my favorite review of the book: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/340987215?page=98#comment_79534115

Spoilers and NSFW.

Porn has been around for a long time.

If you ever get to Italy and get south to Pompeii you can see the ruins there. There is one particular place the tour guides always show, it's the ancient version of porn: a little sculpture of a man mas___bat---. It's a hoot.
