        Haven’t read the book, v. unlikely to see the film, so was relying on third parties.

        It was characterised as “mammy porn” in Irish media, and if anyone is a past-master on w*nking, it’s the Irish media.

    50 Shades of Grey Tape

    B&Q sent an internal memo warning of a possible run on duct tape too…. http://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/feb/11/bq-say-fifty-shades-of-grey-run-on-duct-tape-alert-was-just-pr-ruse

    From the memo….
    “When the book was released in 2012 DIY and hardware stores in the UK and US reported increased demand of certain products and queries from customers as they tried to recreate their own Fifty Shades experiences. We need to be prepared for the same effect when the film is released this month.”

    But as the sergeant Esterhaus says at the beginning of Hill Street Blues… kinda… ” Hey! Let’s be careful down there ! “

      I was just going to say A&E departments around the country will be filled with Marys and Seans with purple hands and feet where the cable ties have just cut off circulation.

    Sorry to be morbid but when i see all the posters and ads for this film all i can think about is that tragic murder case that’s happening at the moment. i hope the young girls and women who see this film will know the difference between being a victim and role-playing a victim.

      “film will know the difference between being a victim and role-playing a victim”

      If they believe that this book is romantic, then, no, they won’t

      I agree, must be very hard on her family to have all this promotion coinciding with what must be a very difficult and heart breaking time.

        Though I suspect the lurid headlines the tabloids are running day after day about that case are far harder to deal with..
