50 shades of grey. No shame!

I have nothing against pornographic novels or anything but I went swimming today in my local pool, they have seats where people can relax and read a book or newspaper. This place is also a hotel.

Went over to read a newspaper today and saw a women that must have been in her late 40's with what must of been her daughter of about 15 sitting in the area, the women was reading 50 shades of grey.

I mean I'm all for we live in the 21st century and stuff but surely their is a more appropriate place to read a pornographic novel than in public and in front of a 15 year old girl.

Am I missing something here but some people could just have a small bit of tact or is it because it's so popular it's ok to read in public?. How would that women feel if I was reading a pornographic magazine with just a women in her bikini on the front cover. Would she not think that would be inappropriate of me, as in younger people around and in a public area?

Fair enough the book doesn't have any pictures but the front cover (which is all anyone would be able to see) of my mag would have a women in a bikini no more different that any ladies mag?

Was she a yummy mummy?

Did you have a **** in the pool? Waved it goodbye as it floated away

Celly Smunt · 15-10-2012 08:24PM

if that is all you have to worry about i'll worry for you.

Hah, when I was flying back to dublin this summer, there was a girl on the plane who was no older than 16yrs reading the 3rd book in the plane...

Its popular fiction man. Get on with the times!

BBDBB · 15-10-2012 08:24PM

maybe she was borrowing the daughters copy

Corvo · 15-10-2012 08:26PM

Would have been a good time to ask her for a ride. She would have been well up for it after reading that utter filth.

Read a sample of this off iBooks.

It's heartbreakingly shite

The daughter is 15, not eight - and even then, the parent only has to ensure the kid doesn't look at the book. Its cover doesn't scream "porn" either.
When I was 12 I was checking out Jackie Collins books - as filthy I reckon, if not filthier, than 50 S.O.G. (lol - "sog" :pac:).

Thought you were going to complain that she handed it to the 15 yr old to read. I don't really see the big deal, it's just words.

There could have been someone sitting there reading something way dirtier than 50 Shades of Grey and you wouldn't have deemed it inappropriate because you would have never heard of it. Its popularity is the only reason you have an issue.

1ZRed · 15-10-2012 08:29PM

In fairness why should you be ashamed? Not as if you could spring a horn

No the issue is I'm aware its a pornographic novel and how she was reading it in a public place in front of a 15 year old girl... Is that the reason people would feel its inappropriate for people to read porn mags in public because they are popular not the content?

Hey I don't mind its her daughter would just have a bit more tact myself but everyone to there own I guess.

gaziah · 15-10-2012 08:36PM

Sure the 15 year old was probably reading it on the sly. You know what pubescent 15 year olds are like :P

you from mullingar?

hatrickpatrick · 15-10-2012 08:37PM

Meh, I started reading (and writing

) dirty stuff at around age 13
Why is it a problem really? At 15 most teens have seen and heard far more disturbing stuff than 50 shades I'd say

Nosy! she is sitting in a public place I had to walk past her to get a paper!! I wasn't looking in her sitting room window! :rolleyes:

I didn't say it had anything to do with me I noticed something I didn't find appropriate didn't interfere with her in anyway, just having a chat about it now bloody hell!

say_who_now? · 15-10-2012 08:45PM

If the OP had said the 15 year old was reading fifty shades of grey beside her mother who was turning fifty shades of red, I might have raised an eyebrow, but come on OP, it's the modern day mills and boon, I was 11 when I was robbing my elder sister's copies of "forbidden and unbridled lust" for a quick crack one off when I'd get home from school and in between settling down to do my homework.

Years later I still managed an A+ in honours english in my Leaving Cert.

My own version of "Less stress, more success", if you will!

You were cracking one off at 11? What came out of it, dust?

i had my first tug at 11. i thought i broke it

Teyla Emmagan · 15-10-2012 09:00PM

I read the Story of O when I was about 8. And look how well I turned out.

The 15 yo is probably up to worse herself. At the same time though, reading 50 Shades of Grey in public is insufferably naff. That's the real crime here.

kowloon · 15-10-2012 09:01PM

Why buy the book when yo can get it for free?
