The book made housewives hot, and husbands everywhere rejoiced...but seriously, can we move on now?

Unless you’ve been living under A ROCK, you’ve probably witnessed and/or participated in the 50 Shades of Grey phenomenon. The three-part “erotic” book series has sent pulses aflutter for housewives everywhere; sales of handcuffs, rope and sex toys have reportedly increased. The result: a substantial uptick in sexy time activities for couples around the world—what’s not to love about that?

But the marketing maelstrom that’s ensued is a bit crazy. Morning show segments, 50 Shades-themed hotel getaways, lingerie lines—it’s all getting a little cheesy. 50 Shades, you’ve had your fifteen minutes... next! —ms
