The Tie That Binds: “Fifty Shades of Grey” Brand Ties?

That Fifty Shades of Grey movie isn’t out yet, so it’s definitely not too late for some movie tie-in tie ads. And from what I understand, there is some tying up with ties action. (I must admit I have not read the book, but I have tied some ties, so it’s probably not that different.)

And so shouldn’t there be an official Fifty Shades of Grey tie collection? If there isn’t, then they’re missing out! After all, Fifty Shades of Grey could do the opposite for ties that It Happened One Night did for undershirts*, so they should totally get on this while there’s still time!

These ties could be called: “The Tie That Binds: The Official Fifty Shades of Grey Tie.”

Who wouldn’t buy one?

* BTW: For those who don’t know, Clark Gable wore no undershirt in the smash hit 1934 movie It Happened One Night, and immediately afterwards, the bottom fell out of the undershirt industry. No, really: it did. And this Fifty Shades of Grey movie could totally bring ties back from the abyss. After all, I think lately men have begun to see ties as being something that ties them down. But, once they figure out that they can tie others down with them, they might start to buy them again.
