The comments and description being russian does not help much. 

And to sum it up for people who don't want to watch- I can't sum it up.  I tried, but I can't.  I stopped once I tried describing the part about the unicorn in a box.
Any context? Because it's amazing. My guess would be unicorn is a euphemism for something. Something sciency.
Yeah, it's not a literal horse with a horn. That would be stupid. It's just a narwhal with a rebreather.
Why would a Narwhal need a rebreather?
Because it's in a water tank.
Duh.

It started with me linking a comic via http://xkcd.net/, the reaction, and then I dug up more URLs to see if they worked. .asia was the only one so far.

I just found out that 50 shades of grey is a "best seller" not because people like it ironically (though I still think that is what it actually is) but because a lot of people legitimately enjoy it.

Which confuses me greatly.

People using the term "liking something ironically" confuse me, for such a thing is a contradiction unto itself. And yes, far too many people enjoy that book. By about a factor of anyone who's read it.

A very close friend of mine thought it was a great book. We don't often agree as far as literature goes... I'm all Pratchett while she is more Stephenie Meyer.

Still, always a bit of a shock to hear a friend say that like what amounts to written porn.

I use the term "Liking something ironically" because trying to explain what that actually means is even more difficult.

How do you explain to people the concept of liking something BECAUSE it is so horrible, terrible, and just plain bad?

I know a person who likes it genuinely.
I don't trust them anymore; they've been infected.

Camp?
Am I using the word right here? Can it be used to describe bondage novels?

Camp seems like the right word. Something is so bad it turns around and becomes good again.
See: Just about any famous fanfiction.

Neo. Neo, friend neo. Fanfiction. Fan. Fiction. Which 50 shades is. There are people. Who legitimately enjoy. Absolutely terrible fanfiction. Not because they like it ironically, but because it presses little joynubs in their brain that makes them happy. That legolas and johnny depp are boinking each other or whatever. There's no need to be confused. Just accept that some folks are wired differently and roll with it.

Though Max, from what I understand (because like hell I'm reading it) 50 shades isn't even decently written porn. I mean. It's okay if you like that. I can dig it, there's some nice stuff along those lines. But. A little class, maybe? There's better stuff for that, and fanfiction is generally free (barring exceptions like 50 SoG), so... no need to pay for a substandard lemon fic. There's bucketloads of those. Massive seething mounds of them.

On the other hand, 50sog was probably the first encounter a lot of people had with a substandard lemon fic, and, like. They addict some people. There's a certain appeal, like with crack or meth or whatever. Some folks have a very low threshold of hook in relation to that kind of thing. Probably exacerbated by years of romance fiction. So some people coming upon this great new thing (that's only great because they don't actually have exposure to the great stuff) go "Wow." It's understandable. All you can do is try to help them.
