Mar 16 2006Daniel Craig's dad comes to the rescue
Daniel Craig, the new James Bond actor, has been accused of being a wimp, but now he has a defender: his dad. “It is all cobblers,” Tim Wroughton-Craig told London’s Sunday Mirror. “Daniel is a hard lad — you wouldn’t want to meet him in a dark street. Is he a wimp? No, I wouldn’t like to call him that to his face. As for the idea he doesn’t like guns — when he was younger he would play with a toy gun like any other boy. Except he liked to stick it down his pants and say 'the princess has a gun in her bum - it's a royal scandal!'” Yeah, so I made that last part up, but it's getting harder and harder to tell. Forget about saving the world; at this point Bond seems barely capable of saving his heterosexuality.
Thanks to Jeff for the tip.

Does his daddy mean peach cobblers? Damn, now i'll never be able to enjoy that dessert again....

And now his daddy is coming to his aid. I can just imagine him writing the little speech out on a piece of paper for daddy to memorise and repeat for the newspaper. I have never watched James Bond and dont plan to either but even I feel sorry for the fans.
p.s. still pretty hot though

#3, I'm with you. What the hell does he mean "It's all cobblers"? Anyone? Anyone? Also, I really can't believe that so many people have gotten themselves so worked up about the fact that this guy is the new James Bond. The fact that there is a website to protest his being cast is just hysterical to me.

Of course Daddy doesn't say anything about Craig's inability to drive a stick shift.
As for "cobblers", it's the same as "bollocks". And we all know what that means, right?

It's okay, Daniel. It's all over. The men in white coats found your dad and he's back where he belongs.

Okay, you know you're a punk ass bitch when your father has defend your masculinity and manhood in a supermarket tabloid for women.
9. jennifer11 - March 16, 2006 12:15 PM
you know, at first, i kinda like this new james bond. sure, he can't drive a stick...but you know, he seemed alright.
now that his daddy is defending him, i just want to knock him down, steal his lunch money and maybe make him eat a clump of dirt.

I am sorry but I have to say it "monkey face" hahahaha.

...and I bet Mumsie told him he was a handsom boy too.

At this rate they're just gonna ask Sean Connery to come back as James Bond. And even when Connery dies he'll still be able kick the shit out of Craig, and his cobbler dad.

He IS hot - anyone who disagrees hasn't seen Layer Cake. Still don't understand the inability to drive a stick - especially since he's a Brit.
16. M@ce - March 16, 2006 2:12 PM
I heard he auditioned for a role in Brokeback Mountain but was rejected as, "too much of an effin' homo" Their words, not mine...
17. M@ce - March 16, 2006 2:12 PM
Plus he can't drive a horse...
18. honeycomb's_big_yeahyeahyeah - March 16, 2006 3:58 PM
He's not as bad as all that! He already looks like the "Mad" spoof comic of himself, though.
19. gogoboots - March 16, 2006 5:01 PM
He is so BORING...George Clooney should be the next James Bond, he could fake a British accent, I think...
20. Phoenix - March 16, 2006 5:13 PM
I know everyone seems to hate this guy but I would still hit it. I'm not even ashamed to say this.
21. KT - March 16, 2006 10:03 PM
Connery and Brosnan are by far the best Bonds.
This guy is a joke. A sick, sick joke.
22. Binky - March 16, 2006 10:45 PM
Call me a whimp - but I'm willing to give this guy a chance, and I'll probably end up downloading 'Royale' within the first week or ten days. I know, I'm a bit of a softy, but - don't prejudge people !!
And Eva Green - call me .
23. Binky - March 16, 2006 10:54 PM
Oops. A little typo there. Didn't write 'downloading' - it must be a Superfish bug of some sort.
What I wrote was "will end up enjoying with a $10 medium popcorn." Sorry for the confusion.
24. TaiTai - March 17, 2006 11:40 AM
#22 OK you are a whimp. Now will you tell us what that is? Is that anything like Cobblers? Or an ingredient in whimped cream? But loved your #23. Easy to make that mistake. Enjoy your popcorn.
25. Binky - March 17, 2006 1:55 PM
# 24 What the 'h' ?

pass the popcorn
26. Pladijs - March 18, 2006 4:50 AM
Now that would make a change, a gay James Bond. We can certainly cast Ian McKellen as Q... now all we will need is a Bond girl.
Any thoughts ? Tom Cruise? others?
