We are not amused.

In fact this datum alone makes me question why Agent Bond ever became such a fixture in my culture. Why did I need his traditional martinis; his gadgets, his women, his boyish adventures? No more than a security blanket. Let us thank the James Bond franchise for finally opening our eyes to its redundancy, and then put it away with our childish things. Surely there are more worthwhile things to pursue, even for light entertainment?
