Nicola Scholes said: "It's more offensive that children were dressed as American Sniper and James Bond, carrying guns"

A boy who dressed as a character from Fifty Shades of Grey was excluded from his school's World Book Day celebrations, according to his mother.

Liam Scholes, 11, went to Sale High School as Christian Grey from the explicit novel, wearing a grey suit and carrying cable ties and an eye mask.

1. Personally, I like the boy's style.

The school was wrong to exclude Liam.

2. My reaction was

here we go again sex no, violence yes. But, is it really appropriate for an 11 year old to dress up as a BDSM aficionado? Maybe I should get out more....

4. To answer your question: No.

No sex. No violence. But unfortunately it's out there. All an 11 year old needs is to turn on the news to be exposed to both.

Again, no, you don't need to get out more.

7. Ok - tks

Of course it's out there. I'm just stuck a bit in the old days and I'm not around kids.

9. Possibly just a really out there sense of humor.

10. Why am I remembering an old South Park episode?

The one where Cartman's mother dressed him as Hitler for Halloween?

12. That's what I want to know.

8. That is so, so wrong. But kind of hilarious, too.

I guess I'm a bad person.

11. Shouldn't it be a book of the kid's choosing?

I really doubt an 11 year old would pick 50 Shades of Grey for himself.
