“FIFTY SHADES OF GREY” DECONSTRUCTED

"Fifty Shades of Grey" will debut in some theaters on February 13; it opens wide on Valentine's Day. The movie is based on the best-selling book by that name, authored by British writer E.L. James. It features a young woman who submits to being beaten by a man.

Bishop Richard J. Malone, Chairman of the Bishops' Conference Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth, says that while the book and film "are marketed as a romantic story," it is really nothing more than a "graphic portrayal of a young woman agreeing to be abused and degraded in a sexual relationship."

Cincinnati Archbishop Dennis M. Schnurr has joined with the Religious Alliance Against Pornography in condemning the movie. "The story line is presented as a romance, however, the underlying theme is that bondage, domination, and sadomasochism [BDSM] are normal and pleasurable."

Bill Donohue, drawing on his experience as a sociologist, agrees with these assessments, and offers his own analysis. Because of the nature of the conduct that constitutes BDSM, readers should know in advance that his article is itself a graphic depiction of some very real, though sick, behaviors.

A professional dominatrix in Los Angeles, Mistress Trinity, says she uses the book “in sessions as a torture device.” She is very serious. “Very bad slaves have to read the book aloud and act out scenes. One of my slaves pleaded with me to stop the pain, offering to receive 100 strokes of the cane if he could stop reading.”

HA! Now that's funny. Apparently Mr. Donahue doesn't recognize sarcasm when he hears it.

“FIFTY SHADES OF GREY” = Hollywood porn for the low info voters and liberal sheeple. GIGO = garbage in, garbage out summarizes this “entertainment”. I hope it bombs BIG at the theaters showing it.

And if a man is wise he marries a good woman who appreciates him for being a man.

I was LUCKY and I married a woman who appreciates me for being what I am. I guess I should stop there!

“portrayal of a young woman agreeing to be abused and degraded”

That’s what women are good for.

Signed, Moe-ham-head, the muzzie pedophile prophet

“Will also be a big hit with the sodomite crowd,”

The Sodomite crowed is behind it just as they were behind Playboy and Hustler and Penthouse; all nominally “hetro” publications.

“Theres a lot more things to get worked up over than people voluntarily watching a sex movie. “

Yep. And the greater the percentage of a society which chooses to watch soul destroying crap, the more we all will eventually have to worry about.

There is nothing new under the sun.
The book is simple pornography, badly written. Much of pornography is.

Silver lining; since the forties many churches have abandoned scriptural teaching on lust and instead presented lust as an entirely male sin. It’s not. And this book has women dropping the public pretense on a grand scale. Back in the nineties women hid the Anne Rice “Sleeping Beauty” novels (which also sold millions) to keep up a pretense.

Joseph wasn’t lust in after Potter’s wife. She luster after him.

The women indulging in shades of gray have been quite brazen about it. I have seen a pastor’s wife reading it in public.

The pretense is gone.

Yes-—it destroys Virtue and without Virtue there is no Freedom.

Our Justice System is to promote “public virtue” as Founders and Montesquieu noted, since Virtue is essential for Free Republics (or any type of Freedom). Promoting vice is corrupting and vice breeds slavery only.

This is all about NWO and totalitarian control of the masses—the “happy” slaves, of course, for the elite sodomites who have been controlling all perceptions by use of media and schools since John Maynard Keynes said (as he was raping the boys) that the enlightenment of the masses would eventually occur—when they will recognized the “Love” that cannot be spoken.

This satanic, evil worldview is almost completely embedded into our “Justice” system.... LOL....(sarc) with this evil concept (Vice becomes Virtue) that males and females are identical (which is irrational Marxism and total slavery and antithetical to our Constitution and Natural Law)—not even mentioning “God’s Laws).

Worldview will be embedded in all children who are raised in such a pagan, demonic, toxic culture-——Normal will once again include slavery-—and Christians will be treated like in the days after Christ’s Resurrection.

I can sum this sh*t up in one word-—PORN

"Mommy porn" is how I have heard it described, from woman who have read it. They said it is nothing more than a trashy romance novel minus the romance.

There is an anti-FSoG romantic movie coming out this Friday, so we do have an alternative date movie.

Yes, a virtuous person can rule his own desires, therefore he can rule himself.

That is why Benjamin Franklin said that our Republic was designed only for a virtuous people.

I quite often think what our Founders would think of someone like Barack Obama who "appears" virtuous, but is actually the opposite.

From Aristotle's Ethics we get the understanding of the median of virtue with vice on one side of it and the "apparent" virtue on the other side which is really a vice dressed up to look like a virtue.

That is Obama - the "apparently virtuous" but actually vicious president.

Wow, some first date.

My first movie date with my better half was "Patton" with George C. Scott on the big screen.

How about Amazon’s effort to push “Transparent”? I mean what percent of the nation want to switch their apparent sex? If homosexuals are 3% then this group of mentally ill must be .03%, no?
