Dr Christmas Jones
Why They're Offensive: Some would say all Bond girls are offensive. But asking us to believe that Denise Richards is a hot-pants-wearing nuclear scientist is too much even for those who usually overlook the casual sexism.
Most Offensive Moment: The ending, when it becomes clear that the only reason Christmas got her name was so Bond could make a wisecrack about how many times Christmas comes a year.

Carrie Bradshaw and friends
