If I'm going to get something, I usually get it in spades - luck (both kinds), children, clutter, dirty laundry, bright ideas, daft ideas...

5/365 Can you imagine a worse party game?
Your eyes do not deceive you, this is the Fifty Shades of Grey Party Game. On sale in Waterstones.
I picked it up to start to read the blurb but felt so soiled and shabby I had to put it down again quick sharp.
I know I don't go to many parties these days, but I can't imagine one where it was ever a good idea to get this out. Trivial pursuit - played with pretend irony not really masking the raw competitiveness - maybe, but this, no way.
Surely the point of Fifty Shades is to inject a little oomph into things (a deux in the bedroom) via the medium of sneaky smut on an e-reader. If your think your party needs this to get it going then maybe you need to re-think the guest list. If, on the other hand, your parties, ahem, go with a swing already, then unveiling this will bring things to a shuddering halt. Either way, it's a terrible idea.

ReplyDeleteThat comment made me splutter my tea. Oh yes, the very thing.
DeleteNooooo!
ReplyDeleteFraid so.
DeleteThat is awful!!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't bear thinking about.
DeleteLet's hope nobody saw you handling it! HNY XX
ReplyDeleteI put it down pretty quickly and was v sneaky about the photo.
DeleteYuck! Thought the first book was very repetitive and badly written, so haven't bothered with it. Would be leaving if I went to a party and someone brought that out.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine?
DeleteOh lordy! Can you IMAGINE if someone brought that out at a party? I'm no prude but...
ReplyDeleteIndeed, but I'd like to think if I was at 'that' kind of party, people wouldn't need this game for inspiration!
DeleteNOOOOO! Tragic! Does it come with a complimentary riding crop??
ReplyDeleteReally? Not the type of party I'd be wanting to go to x
