'Fifty Shades' trailer causes outrage in America

[Davidontour]

Despite the fact that 'Fifty Shades of Grey' is poorly written and likely won't be a great film, there's no denying it's been a major literary success, with a huge, mainly female readership.

This morning certain 'concerned' morality groups in America had a canary when a toned-down trailer for the film was shown on TV. Some people will yap about anything and of course it's good publicity for the movie, but I do find the complete ignorance in the ''legitamising violence against women' annoying. There's a world of difference between consensual BDSM and actual violence and as usual those with little or no knowledge are shouting the loudest.

This from today's article in The Telegraph:

''Fifty Shades of Grey, which is based on the best-selling novel by EL James, details the relationship between a young student and a sexually experienced entrepreneur, and contains scenes depicting BDSM. Anti-porn education group Morality in Media have released a statement condemning the clip for how it allegedly "romanticises sexual violence."

In a statement, the organisation's director Dawn Hawkins said: "The implications of such a relationship — abuse of power, female inequality, coercion, and sexual violence — glamorises and legitimatises violence against women."

I guess they won't be releasing it in Sweden then.

I'm afraid I didn't get past the first chapter and it was given me to read on my kindle. Not my cup of tea at all.

Yea and most of those idiots that claim to be so shocked and appalled when asked about the trailer will probably be first to the cinema when the film comes out.

Some of them. A lot of the people doing the moralising will not bother watching either the movie or the trailer. Generally the people that care to openly express their outrage with regards to things like this movie never need to watch the movie, they just know it's a corrupting influence.
