In cases like that, that seems to be a popular stereotype of religious fanatics: they'll burn books if they find anything "dirty" in it (even if it's just a dirty word)... if they're out there doing it, I'm sure that they would probably be burning truckloads of 50 Shades of Grey.

Okay I'm blaming D'Snowth Youtube finally got me with Honey Boo Boo!
I know right? I don't know about you, but I don't know how I went from Classic SST, Muppets, and Hogan's Heroes to Honey Poo Poo!

I don't either. I was basically watching what you were minus the Hogan's Heroes and then I got back to the main page and two videos were Honey Boo Boo. It also didn't help another video got me with the advertisement. 
Okay... I guess I'm still better off then, because I just keep getting bombard with the same one video over and over again, but it's STILL an annoyance to keep seeing this... creature... sticking out like a sore thumb among other videos that actually ARE relevant to what you've been watching... but apparently, this is an increasing problem with YouTubers... not necessarily Honey Poo Poo, but other things that people don't really want to watch like Twilight, and Justin Bieber, among other things.

Yeah I got hit with Justin Bieber as well although it probably thinks when I watch Muppets since Selena Gomez was in the film why not recommend him as well. -_-

Does it count that I'd happily burn it for being poorly written porno? And can I toss in the rest of the books of any genre written with a less-than-eighth-grade-vocabulary (those intended for adults, at least)? Please? I'll put a filter on the crematorium so I don't pollute!
*breaking into song* Oh if I...were the world's...librariaaaaannn!

50 Shades of Gray should be burned for being cheap slash fan fiction. That's what it is, they don't even hide it... it's basically a Twilight fan fic (no wonder Anne Rice has a ban on fan works on Fan fiction sites, Archie comics for that matter) that's even more subpar than it's inspiration.
I'm NO Twilight fan by any means, and my love of cheesy vampires (Count Chocula, Count Duckula, Groovie Goolies, and Osamu Tezuka's Don Dracula) makes me hate it to the core... but where are Stephany Meyer's lawyers?
Come to think of it, when they were doing all those terrible Harry potter Knockoffs, where were their lawyers?

Here's my rant or rather I just need to get this off my chest. I have two sister inlaws we had always gotten along up until back in Jan when we had a huge blow out fight. I don't wanna get into the details but a lot of things were said and while I am not totally innocent it all started with them jumping to conclusions in the first place without coming to ask me about what I meant first. Well I haven't spoken to them in months and all of a sudden the one starts messaging me like everything is honky dory and nothing ever happened. I am not quite sure how to take it.
I know part of me needs to forgive and forget because it's in the past but part of me is having a really hard time letting go and I honestly don't know how. I am still furious with both of them. A lot of the fight happened because they don't seem to understand we don't have the money to just fly down and visit them whenever we want. I'm not usually one who holds grudges but a big scar was left on my heart and it just hasn't healed yet and I don't know when it will to be honest.

Just go with it is all I can say. If it's like nothing ever happened, so sense in reopening old wounds.
