Fifty Shades of Grey Quote of the Day

So on we bravely tread through Fifty Shades of Grey. You'll be happy to hear that the third point of the inevitable love triangle has made his appearance. Playing the Jacob Black Quasi-Ethnic "Best Friend" to our heroine is . . . Jose Rodriquez! Here's a description:

Unless by "color" she meant ghostly pallor, and was in fact not embarrassed but about to pass out. In which case, my bad.

and Chairman Mao's aptly titled guide to his personality cult looked like this:

You know. Red.
