No Mr Bond, I expect you to be politically correct!

The story from some time ago, but may still be of interest to many:

For decades he has swaggered through life conquering women, chain smoking and saving the world, untroubled by the sensitivities of the 21st century.

In a new book, however, James Bond will be getting a dose of modern morality, as author Anthony Horowitz reveals the tricks he used to drag the spy kicking and screaming into the era of political correctness.

Horowitz, the writer of new Bond novel Trigger Mortis, said he had worked carefully to preserve Ian Fleming’s original character and ensuring his 1950s attitudes remained in tact.

But he has introduced a cast of new characters to point out the error of his chauvinistic ways , including messages about smoking causing cancer, women who give him a run for his money, and an “outspoken” gay friend.

This could be interesting. To see how the hell he thinks this could possibly work without becoming a parody of itself.

Bond keeps being Bond would pretty much undermine them. And Bond being Archie Bunker with a license to kill would undermine Bond.

I thought they "fixed" this by making Craigs Bond "Bi".
