i don't know what's more funny the topic or the fact its brought to us by FOX     

[DeeCee]

Wait a minute!

BOOKS CAN HAVE HERPES??????

Yes, it is quite common for a virus to jump species.  It often involves a mutation that can make the virus even more harmful to the new host species.  In the case of the Herpes simplex virus the first known transfer from human to book was in 1987.

What's wrong with the Library???

[DeeCee]

If the herpes simplex virus can infect books I don't think it will be long before it mutates and the zombie apocalypse will be upon us.

Has the CDC issued an advisory update?

Found some more details

 

The experiment was just a fun diversion: a bacteriologist and a toxicologist teamed up recently to analyze the ten most-borrowed books from the Antwerp library, including everyone's favorite sexy Twilight ripoff. (Again: who was borrowing this book?) The first surprise: they found small amounts of cocaine. No, not in Fifty Shades. In all of them. All ten of the books featured coke as a supporting player—and though the researchers assure their audience that it wasn't enough to give subsequent readers a contact high, it would most certainly cause them to fail a drug test.

The herpes found in E.L. James's masterpiece and one other book was also not enough to get future readers sick. But it was definitely enough to gross them out a little. So stay safe, kids: the next time you pick up a masturbatory tome, invest a little in your own copy. That way your herpes can stay your herpes.

Antwerp, that explains it then.  Those funny Belgians.

Really?  I love the library.  Free wi-fi, free books and free movies.

Disappointing != Bad. 

 

I am also slightly disappointed because I was expecting over 100M for the 4 day, but this thing did 265M WW on his OW on a 40M budget. It is insane, it is a fantastic opening.
