Anyone else seen the trailer for 50 Shades of Grey? I personally haven’t – instead I watched the LEGO version! Some enterprising guy on YouTube decided to do a stop motion video of a LEGO Grey and Steel romance. Here’s the link<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Doesn’t it just prove that LEGO can make almost anything more awesome??<\/p>\n

I’ve also read the novels, and they were light, easy, naughty reads. The phase that the general public went through meant that they were super popular and it suddenly became ok to talk about BSDM.

Your thoughts on the 50 Shades of Grey phenomenon? Do you want to try out BDSM? Do you think it’s all stupid? Let me know.<\/p>\n
