Last year, for April Fools, the James Bond fans at “MI6” ran a spoof news story about cigarettes being digitally removed from the James Bond films, and now Amazon has digitally removed guns from James Bond film key art:
Some covers have been achieved by cropping the image so the gun is outside the lower edge, but in some cases the images have been digitally manipulated to varying levels of success, including: Dr No (awkwardly folded arms), A View To A Kill (long arms), GoldenEye (contemplation), and Spectre (clumsily shortened empty holster).
Is this really worse than Dame Judi Dench, Bond Girl? Bond haters running the franchise have been burning the brand since the 1980s.
