No matter how much we wish it would, it’s clear that the 50 Shades of Grey fad is going nowhere anytime soon. Especially with the cringe-inducing film version underway for a 2015 release, it begs the question, exactly how obsessed with this bondage fad has our country become? Popular tween store Claire’s even has their own line of 50 Shades themed accessories. If that’s not messed up, I’m not sure what is. One of the other telltale signs is the emergence of several BDSM student organizations popping up across the country.
Harvard (yes Harvard) recently gained attention for their approval of a kink-themed club, Harvard College Munch, and they are far from the first to do so. Schools like University of Minnesota, Tufts, and fellow Ivy League school Columbia University also have their own variations of the club. This begs the important question, since Ithaca College is so concerned with amping up its prestige, shouldn’t we hop on the sex swing and start our own BDSM club? Think about it. We could be just like Harvard. And the puns are limitless. IC Leather, Sex Toy H. Park, Ithaca College S&M Center. Don’t even get me started on what could be done with Dillingham. Something to consider adding to the IC 20/20 plan.?
