Now this is an amusing tidbit. George Clooney’s character in Burn After Reading is a serial adulterer and borderline sex addict, to the point where he has a hilariously surprising reveal of a very elaborate sex toy - it’s more like a sex playset, truth be told, and Frances McDormand’s character thinks it’s absolutely fantastic. Now, the New York Post is saying that the film, which was the #1 movie in the country last weekend, has spiked the sales of the items involved in that homemade contraption in adult novelty stores. “The Liberator Ramp” and “The Silky” are the names used for the parts, and apparently you provide your own labor. The Coens can be proud of their positive effect on our economy in these dark times.
