All of the reasons James Bond is an asshole, in musical ode format. God I love British People:

Awesome. I've a read a few of the books, and if I remember correctly, Bond is a bit of a racist dick (and this shows up a bit in DR. NO).

I think Ian Fleming was probably a racist dick, just like Arthur Conan Doyle.

Just like John Mayer's penis!

You know I remember in Live and Let Die, Jane Seymour's character Solitaire is a tarot card specialist who is also an avowed celibate, as she feels that her virginity is the key to her tarot talent (yikes, I'm just thinking of how dreadful it would had been if someone had told me the same thing about my writing talent--grits teeth); anyway, Bond rigs the tarot deck so that it appears that he and Solitaire are intended to be lovers, thus tricking her into bed.

What an asshole!

I know he doesn't speak for Bond per se, but remember the interview Connery did with Barbara Walters, where he talks about when it's appropriate to hit women? In case you're wondering, it's when they insist on having the last word. Oh, and you should only use an open hand. Horrible to think a piece of shit like this is considered one of the world's "sexiest" men...

I do remember that interview; and what's really sad is, when Daniel Craig and Judy Dench filmed a feminist-themed short film for International Women's Day, I read several comments that said, "Oh screw this new wimpy Bond, we need the real Bond, Sean Connery back--he knew how to keep his women in line!" I doubt that they'd have the guts to say that to Craig's face--or, for that matter, Dench's.

I don't know. How much of the following is "acting" and how much is Sean, lol?

I loved that campaign. Craig is the only Bond I would ever watch, if for some reason I had to.

Doyle also believed in psychics, ghosts and other nonsensical things. Also, as far as spies go, I prefer Michael Westen from Burn Notice over any incarnation of Bond. Mostly because the spy tricks you see on the show are real, whereas Hollywood has rarely gotten it right in a Bond flick.
