I don't see ANYTHING funny about burning books.

It's a good thing this guy didn't burn his parents' house down. No fire pit, lots of kindling around with dried leaves, etc. and he admits to just about lighting up his shoes and singeing his eyebrowns from not understanding how gasoline would combust. His fire started with a lot more than just the book lighting up and he had lots of little fires all around the book. As for the book, I think someone should be allowed to do with their property what they want - to a certain extent anyway. I don't favor book burning as a general practice, but I have tossed out paperbacks or had Half Priced Book recycle them when they didn't want to buy them. The loss of this one book won't be a permanent loss of the story. I never read this book and never intend to.

I recognize this guy, he goes by the YouTube name of Mr. Repzion. He's harmless. He mostly just discusses how he feels about whatever occupies his attention on any given day: people, movies, games, pop culture, whatever.

Also, E.L. James is a talentless hack who wrote a sexually explicit fan fiction that caught on with a mass audience of mostly bored housewives and women agreeable with a dom/sub fantasy. So if this guy wants to burn a piece of shit that offends him because of its obvious literary trashiness, he's free to do so.

If he were trying to convince everyone else to burn their copy of, say, The Hunchback of Notre Dame or Tom Sawyer or any other piece of real literature then I'd have a problem with it but Fifty Shades of Grey is to real literature what chicken nuggets are to world cuisine.

I couldn’t agree with him more about Twilight. The only reason I finished the series is I needed to know how it ended. When I read the last sentence of the last book, I threw the book across the room and uttered a bunch of expletives against the “author.” Her writing sucked so bad!

As for book burning, omg, people, chill. It’s ONE book burned to make a statement against shit writing. He was exercising his right to free speech, not starting a mass book-burning movement.

Folks need to pull their panties out of their cracks and relax. I agree about this book series. I read it. I will never get that time in my life back. What's funny to me is how many Christian wives ate this book up but would be appalled if their husband looked at Hustler. It was terrible in every way and the people that were carrying on about it likely wouldn't now good literature - if they could even read it (good literature, that is).

Who gets to say which books should be burned? We must be careful of developing dictator mentalities.

With that haircut,,, you know he's a closet homosexual..
