Bibles have been booted from The Damson Dene Hotel... and E L James’ BDSM erotica novel "Fifty Shades of Grey" has taken its place in every room within the English inn.
Upon request, the front desk of the hotel will provide bibles. TheFrisky goes on to write "...the replacement has caused much controversy, with people in the United States sending “quite a few e-mails quoting the scripture to [the hotel] and suggesting that it would be a good thing to put the Bible back.”

Christian Grey is damn near God-like — at least according to guests’ bedside tables in The Damson Dene Hotel.’

:p
You really can't see how BDSM, or bad writing in general, might offend someone? What about the very act of replacing a book of such cultural and historical significance as the Bible with a fad like a smutty pulp fiction novel? Fifty Shades of Grey is plenty offensive to the right people, and replacing the Bible with it has to be driving some people ballistic.
Don't get me wrong: I think it's funny too, and I'm almost surprised nobody ever thought of this before, but that's a far cry from saying it actually makes sense to replace the Bible with Fifty Shades of Grey. It's funny because doesn't make sense...it's totally bizarre and irreverent, like it came straight out of a South Park episode.
At least it's not Twilight though. ...or actually, nevermind. Someone below noted that Fifty Shades of Grey started out as a Twilight fanfic. This is so rich...although I just found out too that amazon.co.uk has now sold more of these books than the entire Harry Potter series, and E.L. James has overtaking J.K. Rowling as their best-selling author...which is just depressing.
I'd love to read "Shades of Grey"
And don't come up with "but it is making money" that just reveals your innate foolishness
