Now they’re even trying to domesticate 007 . MI6 is pushing a softer image in its new recruiting campaign. One recruitment officer insists that the agency is “not looking for . . . people jumping out of windows, running around disobeying orders, drinking dry martinis, clutching women, and firing guns.”
How truly disgusting. Perhaps the men of MI6 will give in to this pressure to adjust to “post-Cold War” (more like “post-awesome”) geopolitical realities, but I plan to cling to my guns and martini until the bitter end.
