50 Shades Of Grey

ABC News affiliates are reporting on television that there is a campaign to boycott the forthcoming film “50 Shades Of Grey.” The Independent newspaper reports, the hash tags #50dollarsnot50shades and #50ShadesIsAbuse is being spread on popular social networking site Twitter by Stop Porn Culture, the London Abused Women Centre and the National Center on Sexual Exploitation.

The groups want the public to donate the $50 they would spend going to see the movie to domestic violence charities stating, “Hollywood doesn‘t need your money; abused women do.” The campaign further stated, “Hollywood is advertising the Fifty Shades story as an erotic love affair, but it is really about sexual abuse and violence against women” and “this book (and film) romanticizes a perpetrator of abuse.” Many critics have deemed the relationship in the book and subsequent film abusive. The movie has 20-minutes worth of sex scenes that are being described as porn.
