Fifty Shades Of Grey: 10 Things That Make Absolutely No Sense Whatsoever
10. What Does Christian Grey Even Do?
Giving E.L. James the benefit of the doubt for the moment and assuming that the character of Christian Grey is supposed to be as draped in mystery as he is designer suits, what he does for a living makes virtually no sense. Here we have one of the most powerful men on the planet, who has built and grown his own huge multinational corporation before his 30th birthday. But despite his public profile and the huge interest his position would generate all we know is it's something to do with manufacturing, or making things, loads of his staff work in telecommunications and he wants to eradicate hunger. Grey Enterprises is basically a cross between Cisco, Nestle, and Komatsu and is being run by a BDSM Bob Geldof. Putting aside that the company doesn't make any sense, Grey himself doesn't actually appear to do anything. Despite being one of the busiest and most powerful men on the entire planet he still has room in his schedule to be interviewed by a student newspaper in the middle of the day, pop down to his local hardware store for his bondage gear, and appears to have as much spare time on his hands as a college student who's just handed in all her coursework. Oh, and he occasionally shouts at people on the phone about business stuff because that's what super important workaholic corporate types do all day.
