WASHINGTON – The D.C.-based National Center on Sexual Exploitation is calling for a boycott of the new movie “Fifty Shades of Grey,” saying it glamorizes sexual violence. Based on the book series, which has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide, ticket pre-sales are surging in advances of the movie release, set for Valentine’s Day weekend.
The mass media and throngs of women are swooning over the twisted “love story” “Fifty Shades of Grey,” but this cultural phenomenon’s impact on society will serve only to glamorize sexual violence and romanticize domestic abuse.
Washington, DC – While many will choose to watch Fifty Shades of Grey, the movie will not live up to expectations at the box office. This film is not a love story, as it has been described. Love does not exist in a story glamorizing sexual violence and domestic abuse. Thanks to the media firestorm falsely portraying the film as a romantic fairy tale, there will surely be packed theaters at the film’s opening. However, sales will quickly drop as people see that once the glitz, glamour, and soundtrack are removed, Fifty Shades is really just a disappointing story that tells the public to embrace violence against women.
