    Because Austin Powers is so confusingly similar to James Bond, and penises are so confusingly similar to fingers.

    Apparently, the 007 folks weren't too keen on the double entendre of Goldmember


    Hmmm...I realise this may be a poor choice of words on behalf of the writer of the article, but if not, the people who gave us "Pussy Galore" and "Ivana Onatopp" better not be whining about use of double entendre!

    Whatever way it turns out, I think Mr Myers should add a new character called 'Emgi M. Sucks' :)
