best thing I've seen in the news all day

"" Daniel Craig is urging movie bosses to revolutionize the James Bond franchise by including a gay scene involving the superspy in the follow-up to Casino Royale.

The heart-throb actor has also reportedly told studio chiefs he is prepared to film a full frontal nude scene to please both his male and female admirers.

He says, "Why not? I think in this day and age, fans would have accepted it."

"I mean, look at (British TV series) Doctor Who - that has had gay scenes in it and no one blinks an eye." ""

Oh Mr. Craig, I knew I loved you. You are charming. Predictably, there's all sorts of homophobic nastiness floating around on the net in response. All sorts of things that I won't bother repeating here except to say that if you're so threatened by the idea of a gay Bond, you need to go jump in a lake.

I really, really need a James Bond icon.

Bond's sex appeal has always distinguished him, so in the world we live in now is there room for a bisexual interpretation of James Bond? Possibly.

The new Bond is excellent. I think Craig captures the just-starting-out Bond, with his rougher edges. And well, he is the hottest bond since Connery.

I'm so critical of all the Bonds except for Connery, although I liked Pierce Brosnan just on his own merits. Anyway, it's hard to believe that anyone could measure up to Sean Connery, but the fact that so many people love Craig is making me anxious to see the movie.
