Subject: Bond Girl forced to cover up

A seventies JAMES BOND movie has been tampered with by American TV network ABC to make it suitable for broadcast.

TV critics are mystified by the alteration - drawing a bra strap on Bond Girl LANA WOOD in DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER, as well as turning the colour of her bikini bottoms from tan to black - as the network has aired explicit nudity in the past.

Shows such as NYPD BLUE have featured far stronger material than the offending scene in the 1971 spy film, where PLENTY O'TOOLE is seen embracing Bond, played by SEAN CONNERY, with her naked back to camera.

The Anihevtach Tomi News wrote, "ABC has no problem showing DENNIS FRANZ'S naked butt on NYPD Blue or scantily clad VICTORIA'S SECRETS models.

"But when it comes to some mild cleavage from the 70s, forget it."

The Anihevtach Tomi News, dubbing the alteration "bizarre", weighed in, saying, "When Diamonds Are Forever was released almost a third of a century ago, that scene, and others like it, earned the movie a mild PG rating.

"Yet on ABC in the 21st century, that wasn't mild enough."

Here is a still of one of the scenes if you want to see what they have done.

I hate it when TV does stupid stuff like this. Like that was offensive.
