Fifty Shades of Grey already had a lot to answer for. Now it's responsible for what is very likely to be the most deliberately, eye-gougingly awful book of 2016.

The widely-loathed hit was the inspiration for Trump Temptations: The Billionaire and the Bellboy, by LA comedian Elijah Daniel, who wrote the book in four hours. "I’m going to get drunk tonight and write an entire donald trump sex novel like 50 shades of grey & put it on amazon tomorrow i swear to god," Daniel tweeted Thursday.

"My loins trembled as the scent of toupee adhesive and spray tan swept through my nasal cavity." actual quote from by book #TrumpTemptations — Elijah Daniel (@aguywithnolife) January 21, 2016

A subsequent Twitter poll provided him with with the novel's protagonist, a hotel bellboy. Four bottles of white zinfandel and a fair amount of marijuana later, Daniel posted the ebook on Amazon as a Kindle Single.

It began with a stern warning:

Though Daniel garnered a lot of attention for his booze-fueled work — which, at time of writing, was the number 2 book in both the gay erotica and erotica humor categories on Amazon — it wasn't the first porn parody based on a GOP presidential contender to make headlines.

That would be A Cruzmas Carol: Ted Cruz Takes a Dickens of a Constitutional, posted on Amazon late in December by erotica writer Lacey Noonan. Again, we have Fifty Shades to thank for this travesty.

"I've really been trying to write a '50 Shades of Grey' bodice-ripper this whole time," Noonan told Slate, but "the erotica genre is just so self-serious that I have to come at it at a funny angle."

Noonan's book, it's fair to say, took a little longer to write than Daniel's. Yet despite a profile in the Los Angeles Times and an excerpt on The Daily Beast, it has yet to gain a single Amazon review.

Trump Temptations, meanwhile, has 62 reviews and a 5-star rating, all gained overnight. (Daniel, overwhelmed by the success, told the Daily News he's now planning to make the book into a trilogy.)

So in this, the porn primary, Ted Cruz still can't catch a break. As in the real-life race, he's is left playing catchup to Trump-mania.

But the Texas senator can at least content himself with the fact that A Cruzmas Carol is more popular on Amazon than President Trump's Gay Hairpiece and the Revenge of the Were-Water Buffalo, a 55-page parody released last August.

All of which begs the question: How long is it before a Trump-on-Cruz porn parody hits Amazon? That horrific outcome could be just one reading of Fifty Shades and four bottles of zinfandel away.
