Frickin' hilarious, yet so vile that BDSM doesn't seem to be enough letters to describe it. This parody is designed for the most immature mature adults out there. Reader indiscretion is not just advised, it is required. Unitarian Green and Anastasia (Nasty) Lime take their sexual rollicks to new licks. But, don't worry, there are still plenty of flushes, wry smiles, head cockings, finger steeplings, hitches, craps and double craps. If you are easily offended (or even uneasily offended), we don't know why the hell you read "Fifty Shades of Grey" in the first place (it is required reading to appreciate this parody), but you will possibly be offended by "Fifty Shades Nastier" if you are: Catholic, a virgin, from Ithaca, from San Fernando Valley, Irish, Irish wannabe, human, borderline decent, or wealthy. However, chances are likely that you'll be too busy laughing your ass off to care that you are offended.About the AuthorLardyard Hampoon is a disgusting layabout who has been a repulsive plague upon his family for numerous decades.
