It would be foolish — not to mention downright stupid — to stand between tens of millions of lusty American women and their favorite Hollywood S&M fantasy:
“Fifty Shades of Grey.”
And I don’t want get trampled, or worse.
But for those who aren’t into the bondage-as-romance thing, I’ve decided to help with The John Kass Approved List of Non-S&M Romantic Movies. No whips, riding crops, restraints or handcuffs required.
Since it is a list of love stories, not tales of domination and submission, all you need are handkerchiefs for sharing happy cries together. Maybe some gelato, too.
Whether I like it or not, women are buying “Fifty Shades” tickets like mad. The erotic thriller raked in more than $80 million at the box office in its first weekend, with women heading to the theaters in wild girlfriend packs.
“Oh, ‘Fifty Shades,’ really? I’m going to waste my time with that?” said our friend Martha on the way to dinner the other night. “Isn’t it like ‘Twilight’ for old people?”
Another friend, Alejandra, said she had no intention of seeing the movie. She said she threw out the book as it depressed her.
“I threw it in the garbage, and it was sad. It was like reading an instruction manual.”
And young women in the elevator said men should just back off.
“Men should stay home,” said a young woman. “We don’t want you with us. It’s a girl’s night out thing. We want to be out alone!”

Wise up women!! You are now waiting years for a marriage proposal because you live with the guy (so he can try things out for size). With more and more women having men's children because they don't want to "wait for marriage" doesn't that tell you something? This country is backward!! This is NOT woman's liberation....this is a fools game that women have fallen into. Fifty shades of gray is not something I need to see to know that it is perverse. They will not be getting my support. Wise up women!!!!
I agree 10:26. The only ones interested in seeing this movie would be trailer park trash who by going to view the movie thinks it will make them appear worldly and sophisticated.

There must be more than that There can't be that much trailer park trash. Besides a lot of trailer park trash are good conservative Christians. We really shouldn't call anybody trailer park trash.
What this country needs is a great big gigantic handle so it can be flushed every few years.
The term "trailer park trash" was used as a colloquialism not a literal descriptive term.
And please ...stay on topic and leave references to religion out of your comments.
11:35.. I never called anyone trash and the building you live in has nothing to do with your class anyway. I was referring to women who want to be married but are willing to settle for a live in relationship because every other woman is now doing it. If we were truly feminist we would support each other and help to raise each other up instead of laying down with the next man that comes around so we can "catch" his attention. If you are a woman worth you stuff and have some class... you aren't doing that no matter where you live. You get up every morning and brush yourself off and hold your head up high because you haven't lowered yourself just to beat another woman to him. If he is worth anything at all...he feels the same way. This not a mans world...it is just being spun that way and women are buying it hook line and sinker.
I've watched some of the comments come in on this one and all I could think of was, IF you keep your Wife happy, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT?
First of all have any of you oh so bright people seen the movie? I have and say for one thing its far from perverse. It was a decent movie and thats coming from a happily married adult male. The movie is a love story about two young people one who suffered abuse from a young age and doesnt understand how to have a relationship with another person so he does what he knows. Its about learning to love another person and changing your future. Again if you want to discuss the movie go see it then comment......
