The Fifty Shades frenzy is taking over the world this Valentine's Day, and some mishaps are 50 shades darker than before...
The Dublin Fire Brigade are looking out for everyone’s best interests with a tweet of warning against the use of fluffy handcuffs this week:

Over in London, fire officers are being inundated with call-outs to help people stuck in tricky situations.
The second instalment of Fifty Shades seems to have led to a rise in necessary penis ring removals.
From April 2016 to the present day, firefighters in the city have attended nine penis ring removal incidents, which is the same number as the previous two years combined.
Handcuff rescues have also increased since the first film was released, with 15 incidents recorded in 2014/15 but this rose to 27 in 2015/16.
Let this serve as a word of warning to any wannabe Mr Greys out there…
