Hotel dumps Bible in favor of porny 'Fifty Shades' novel

7/14/2012

The Gideon Bible is commonly found in the drawers of hotel nightstands the world over. But one hotel would rather give guests a stimulating read that’s more sensual than spiritual, and visitors to the Damson Dene Hotel, near Bowness-on-Windermere in northwest England, won’t find the Bible in their rooms. That’s because hotel manager Wayne Bartholomew replaced the holy book with copies of the best-selling erotic novel “Fifty Shades of Grey.” The decision, Bartholomew said, was influenced by the flood of chatter about the book from his Facebook friends. “I thought it would be a special treat for our guests to find it in their bedside cabinet, and that includes the men,” he said.
