Safe sex? Nobody does it worse than James Bond

In the words of Sam Kinison - "We hate rubbers!"

[DB]

If James Bond movies are considered the "social norm" we're all in trouble...

[sageb1]

I've always hated Bond. Husband loves him.

The academics spent hours noting down the sex and drugs content of 200 of the biggest box office hits of recent years

Some people clearly got too much time on their hands.

They counted six episodes of unsafe sex in Basic Instinct, not including one scene in which a character is murdered in bed with an ice pick. Most cinema goers were unsure whether he was wearing a condom at the time.

I think when you're being murdered in bed with an ice pick, the last thing on your mind is "am I protected?"

[InvisibleChurch]

The left gets all over Dan Quayle for making mention of Murphy Brown's lifestyle, but they think themselves clever when they chastise James Bond (another fictional character).

[clee1]

But to Hollywierd, butt banditry is considered "safe".

[endthematrix]

Great insight! Ah, the irony of it all...

[sailor4321]

What!!?! James was actually sleeping with all those women?

[ThinkDifferent]

In Die Another Day, released in 2002, there is no reference to contraceptive use in the sex scenes between Bond, played by Pierce Brosnan

I've also heard that he drives vehicles at speeds well in excess of the posted limits.

[nkycincinnatikid]

I am going to kill all of your henchmen, save Miami from your nuclear weapon seduce your mistess and have her kill you, but I promise to wear a condom. OK?

[RTINSC]

Such silliness.

[RTINSC]

These researchers should find out how many of the "movie" bank robbers and other criminals are actually arrested and sent to jail, too. Government grants usually fund this type of research. I can't stop laughing how silly this is.

[flashbunny]

"Medical researchers have accused Hollywood of glamorising unsafe sex, singling out James Bond for criticism for failing to use a condom during his amorous encounters"

I can't recall any bond movie where they showed, uh, conclusive evidence whether he was or not.

Not sure how they can tell that.

Sounds like someone had excess grant money to burn.

Not just that, but there is probably some sort of NEA grant involved. Someone is getting PAID to do that.

"Is M insisting I wear one from now on?"

"Oh, grow up."

[Colorado Doug]

I'm sure that "Q" has something worked out.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

For people who can't tell the difference between movies and real life.
