Fifty Shades of Merchandise

Whoever designed the tie on the Fifty Shades of Gray cover has to be pissed tie printers don't get royalties. I'm sure the company that sells it is  very excited though.

In fact everybody's trying to cash in. I recently saw a line of softcore bondage gear trying to get in on the action without actually referencing the Shades. How'd they manage this? They shot the promo images for their boxes entirely in grayscale. That's some classy, classy glamor shots, right there.

Stay classy, soccer moms.
