Is Daniel Craig's James Bond too buff?

Apparently, "Richard Cohen does not think James Bond's muscles are fair to Richard Cohen," says Rebecca Schoenkopf at Wonkette. "The Mayan Apocalypse cannot come too soon if this muscle-bound 'Daniel Craig' character is supposed to be our new hotness. What happened to the way things used to be, when women were wives and skinny nerds were le sexy?"

Right, "James Bond is the reason Richard Cohen can't date 23-year-olds," says Max Read at Gawker. In a "real sexual meritocracy," as Cohen sees it, "the only relationships are between older men and younger women." How convenient.

Not only has Cohen "totally lost his mind" in this rant on Bond, he "also uses the word 'zeitgeisty,' which is not a word, and alone should get him fired from The Post," says Peter Huestis at Princess Sparkle Pony. Cohen was already "the hackiest hack in hackville." After this column, "I can't believe I'm saying this, but maybe he should stick to writing about politics."

The male body changed on screen because of steroids. Arnold started it all, essentially requiring men to be as physically ravishing in movies as women generally are. Advertising took the baton, with Marky Mark leading the charge, followed by Herb Ritts and Bruce Weber filling the airwaves and magazine ad pages (remember them?) with physically enthralling super-men. Over three decades, the increasingly sophisticated results are everywhere.... The new male is here to stay. And that is largely because it's hotter. Get used to it.
