OH is it valentines day already? Fifty Shades of Grey is finally being released into theaters! With this grand opening of this erotic R rated film, many people are voicing there opinions about how morally wrong this trilogy is. Although in my opinion, if it is that bad of a series, how did it sell over a hundred million copies? I'm not the only one who bought them! I also think, as a reader, these books are open to many interpretations yet construing the author intentions to create the idea that men can abuse women without consequence is something that is just fat out wrong.. No where in these books is the cantonment of abusive relationships or un-consensual sex . These books are written in Fantasy and should be treated as so by the adult genre they were written for.
Here is the link to an article that's raising money for a good cause but also throwing a good trilogy under the bus! Enjoy you filthy animals ! http://www.wbur.org/2015/02/11/fifty-shades-of-grey-boycott

On Sunday, Chief Justice Moore ordered probate judges to not issue marriage licenses to same sex couples because he felt the ruling had no bearing on probate judges. Read more in the article below:
