I read something yesterday that just irritated the heck out of me. In the new James Bond movie Skyfall Bond will no longer be drinking his customary vodka martini "shaken, not stirred". Instead the producers of the movie sold out and now his drink of choice will be.....a Heinekin. Literally 50 years of film history and tradition flushed in favor of making an extra buck for product placement.

The martini has always been one of the central features of the Bond character and I'm flat out ticked off that the producers of the movie did this. Granted, Bond has had things come and go over the years. Some due to cultural changes such as he no longer smokes. Has had different brands of cars though I know the Aston Martin is the preferred. But they really should not mess with something that core to the image of the character.

Anyway, it just ticks me off and I wanted to vent a little.
