Dave Barry Learns Everything You Need to Know About ...

Dave Barry is great!

His final conclusion is slightly alarming, but looking at the - with women - popular books it really seems that women love creepy stalkers, and hot billionaires.

It's not that women love them; it's that women are socialized to see this behavior as acceptable.

"The little boy keeps hitting me!" "It's because he likes you" starts at a young age and...just kinda gets more and more subtle as we get older.

Snowy Stella I know and it is scary. And frustrating, because I don't hit the girls I like and don't climb in their bedroom while they sleep so I have no chance

^ the last bit was sarcasm, just in case

It wasn't very funny, so I fail to see why you included it. Being sarcastic about that shit isn't cool.

I just posted it because they released the trailer of 50 Shades today, and I despise the way the books represent relationships in general and BDSM particularly.

but rather than get in a lively debate, I'd rather post a funny. Because the book is laughable in how horrible it is. If I read the words Inner Goddess one more time...

I've never read it. Never wanted to. Life is too short.

I think a read the tumblr that picked it over and slammed it, just as someone (same person?) did with the Twilight series.

You think it's not funny, I get it. Please forbid Adam Sandler doing any comedies too, would you now? Thank you

My grandma loved it. And Twilight. But only because 'memories'.

I adore Dave Barry.

Snowy Stella : EXACTLY! I never read the 50 Shades books because I knew I would hate them and probably actually throw up from reading them. And you know I'm sex-positive.
