A few years ago when the racy book 50 Shades of Grey was popular, I created a few parody images. I never published them, probably because the book was fairly controversial. But, now that the movie version is being released today, here goes.
By the way, this book was originally a self-published eBook, which is an inspiring model for other authors who get rejected by gatekeeper publishers and it goes to show that publishers can't always predict what's going to sell well.
Here's what the original book cover looked like.
I'm not sure what these are good for, but maybe it's useful for a small chuckle. Happy Valentine's Day…
My parodies:
5S Shades of Lean
5S Shade of Lean – Tape
50 Shades of Toast
With apologies to Bruce Hamilton of “Toast Kaizen” fame
