"This fall, nobody’s more in touch with their inner Lisbeth Salander than the women of Brooklyn, terrorized by more than 20 sex attacks in Park Slope, Windsor Terrace and Kensington over the past eight months…. And now, in an appropriately Swedish turn, regular women can channel their outer Lisbeth, too. H&M’s 30-piece Dragon Tattoo line was created by Trish Summerville, the Fincher film’s costume designer, and distills the essence of her character into slightly less S&M-y threads."

I feel like there's a prime opportunity (I'm using "prime" loosely here, OK) for an H&M/S&M pun that was missed.
Have you ever watched the original GWtDT movie with your mother? There is a lot of rape in that thing, more than you'd guess.
@deepomega I watched it with my dad, it was almost as unsettling!
@jfruh This comment needs an Andrew Dice Clay "oh!" at the end.
@dntsqzthchrmn OH MY GOD, someone should have told you not to do that. I watched with a lady friend and I was like, OKAY, LISTEN, BACKGROUNDER, PLEASE PREPARE YOURSELF FOR DEPICTIONS OF RAPING. She appreciated the heads-up on the extra rapitude I think.
@Choire Sicha Yeah my MOM should have told me not to do that, because she had SEEN IT BEFORE. Also had read the books! I was wholly unprepared!
Can I just exchange the night for store credit?
@amuselouche
As long as you left the tags on and it doesn't have any deodorant smudges.
Wait, does this mean the Post can say "she was asking for it" the next time someone is raped while not wearing H&M bondage gear?
Can we take back the "ick" from the NY Post?
@Setec Astrology I think they own the full rights in perpetuity.
