The Great Works of English Literature– Now with Porn! [PIC]

A Tale of Two Titties? The Pud Also Rises? Snatch-22? Jane Bare? Madame Boner-y? Moby-Dick (You wouldn’t even need to change that one)? They’re coming to a bookstore [ Is that like a Kindle? -Kids these days] near you, and sooner than you might think. Publisher Clandestine Classics is hoping to combine the craze for literary mash-ups a la Pride and Prejudice and Zombies with the craze for dirty books a la 50 Shades of Grey with a new series, launching July 30, that makes explicit what the great works of English literature merely imply. Here’s how they sell it on their blog : “The old fashioned pleasantries and timidity have all been stripped away, quite literally. You didn’t really think that these much loved characters only held hands and pecked cheeks did you? Come with us, as we embark on a breathtaking experience—behind the closed bedroom doors of our favourite, most-beloved British characters.” Once again, porno is way ahead of the curve on this one. The adult industry has been churning out nude, rude versions of classic tales from Alice In Wonderland (1976) to the Marquis de Sade’s Justine (1969) to Bodacious Ta-Ta’s (1984) for decades now. What, you didn’t read Bodacious Ta-Ta’s in high school? See lusty literary icons come to life like Edwidge Fenech as Madame Bovary (1969) and Keira Knightley as the adulterous Lara in Doctor Zhivago right here at MrSkin.com!

The Joss Whedon/Roseanne Nexus

Start your day with perhaps the closest read in the history of close reads: Joss Whedon’s history as a writer for Roseanne : “Whedon really plants his pop culture flag, however, in House of Grown-ups with the arrival of a new, high-tech VCR. (Like the discussion about pornography, it’s a tangential detail that Whedon seems to enjoy more than the actual plot.) We get a fun run of Darlene wanting to rent ‘ Lethal Weapon 2, Jaws 3 , and Nightmare on Elm Street 4 ,’ John Goodman busts out an impressions of Dirty Harry , and Roseanne proclaims her love for Doctor Zhivago . And, for the ultimate Whedon touch, when nobody can agree on what to rent, what film finally unites everyone? Star Wars .” [ Splitsider ]
