Jonathan Denby, the owner of the Damson Dene Hotel in
Bowness-on –Windermere, England, has decided to replace the Gideon’s Bibles in
his forty guest rooms with the soft porn novel, Fifty Shades of Grey. Denby says the move is in response to
guest requests and that few, if any, read the Bibles. Fifty Shades of Grey has a sado-masochistic theme.
Denby says that “I’ll keep a couple behind the reception
desk so that if any guest whose preferred bedtime reading happens to be the
Bible finds that they have forgotten to pack their copy, they’ll be pleased to
read in the guest handbook that they can borrow a copy from the
receptionist.” How nice.
The fact that the Gideons place their Bibles in hotels for
free and that Denby has had to buy his copies of Fifty Shades of Grey shows
that the replacement was an intentional choice. Denby bought the hotel facilities from a Methodist group
about ten years ago.
