They're pushing Valentine's Day as the official release date for Fifty Shades of Grey. But it's actually opening on Friday the 13th.

Think about it.







(in case you've missed the noise: "Fifty Shades of Grey" is pushing itself as a sexxxxxxy movie about BDSM. It's actually a rather horrifying portrayal of an emotionally and sexually abusive relationship that has about as much in common with a safe, sane and consensual kink relationship as a battleship has with a tuba.)

I'm hugging your final comment. I love it. Will pet it. :P

To quote my comment over on Tumblr, for your further amusement:

I really just want to Teddy Ruxpin the hell out of the “50 Shades of Bad BDSM Bear” they’re selling, and hack it with a sound card that says things like “remember, use your safeword the moment you’re not enjoying this,” “let’s set the limits for this scene,” and “Are we green light?”

"Show me on the bear where you want the bad man to..."
Frankly none of this goes far enough. Actually install Teddy Ruxpin. Or Snuggles!

Ok. Yes. I'm sick. (giggles)

And from there it's just a short hop to "I'm Talky Tina and I'm going to kill you" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_Doll_%28The_Twilight_Zone%29)

Yours is one of the few erudite and reasoned comments that succinctly describe the book.
From a rape survivor, thank you.

to quote other people, when someone asks "where is my Mr. Grey?" the only possible answer to someone you care about is "hopefully, in jail."

I keep having young AND OLD (!!) alike come into my store asking for the books. I refuse to carry them because they're just so bad. What I do carry and recommend instead are any variety of other good erotica, and one particular favorite of mine, EXIT TO EDEN.
