The behaviour of James Bond in the bedroom is irresponsible, according to researchers who are concerned about the influence on movie audiences - reports Seven.

While most people leave their brain at the door when they relax in front of a movie, others are concerned that the behaviour of our favourite characters are having a bad influence on audiences.

In a study examining the effects of movies on teenagers, researchers found Hollywood may be a health hazard to impressionable teenagers.

Singled out for criticism was James Bond, for glamorising unsafe sex. Think about it, throughout 4 decades of whipping out every type of gadget, have you ever seen 007 whip out a condom?

In all the films the researchers analysed, they found only one - Pretty Woman, a romance between a millionaire and a prostitute - was the only one to broach the subject of safe sex.

Led by pediatrician Hasantha Gunasukera, scientists analysed nearly 90 of the most popular films of the last 20 years.

They found 8 per cent of the blockbusters included scenes of cannabis use, 7 per cent contained illicit drug use, 32 per cent depicted alcohol intoxication and 68 per cent of actors smoked tobacco.

The study also showed that stars lighting up the screen - or rather, lighting up on screen - may have a troubling effect on children.

Research suggests teens are three times more likely to try tobacco if they regularly watch stars smoking on screen.

Bond is too cool for safe sex. He needs to able to make babies with women so we can have more ass-kicking, s**t-blowing-up secret agents.

According to the theme song he is but a nephew of the great 007 (who apparently earned the right to the name by "learning the game from his Uncle James"), but I think he still serves as a solid example of why Bond must never produce true offspring.

Although, in the face of some misfortunate happenings, it could be an improvement:

It seems like this upcoming generation is already messed up as it is. I don't think there will be a huge, drastic change in teenage behavior just because they edit some James Bond films. It might see some future changes, but I forsee no immediate response.

I say we go all Bollywood and don't even allow characters to kiss on-screen.

It's impractical. Which is also why it is impractical to force movies to no longer provide a staple and trademark of the series simply because people are too ****ing stupid to handle it properly.

What, you think people will honestly start to realise they have responsibility for themselves?

They don't have free wills. They can't even control their own actions: but that won't stop them from trying to control yours.
