clarkson does it again!!
Most likely sad-sacks with nothing better to do with their time.
It's been a weird week for the beeb (Brand/Woss) and I can't help but feeling sometimes things said can be blown out of ALL proportion? You know what to expect from Clarkson if you watch Top Gear, if you're easily offended then DONT WATCH!

Clarkson wont stop because 188 people complained - look at when they went to the South and made out like the whole South were inbred hicks (they may or may not be - not my place to judge) but nobody gave a damn. Bloody hypocritical public, everything is funny as long as its not about them.
Also the Russell Brand\Ross this is hilarious, this attention has done nothing but enhance the little dirties career, this time last month nobody even knew who she was - but now she can get on with her "modeling" career.

You mean her dominatrix career, surely? Ironically, it was an article in the paper that sparked the public 'outrage'
Thing with Brand/Clarkson is as above - you KNOW what you get from BOTH before you tune in. If easily offended, why tune in!!!! The Brand thing is even more ridiculous, as only TWO Complaints(?) were originally received.
best thing in the clarkson thing is an m.p has written to the bbc insisting Clarkson gets the sack!!!
The M.P in question is from a constituency where 6 prostitutes were murdered not all that long ago................. by an ex truck driver! , so in other words, he's admitting Clarkson wasn't just making a random thoughtless attack on truck drivers, but actually had a small point in there somewhere :lol:
thats his argument shot in the foot right there!!, he could argue it was insensitive to make a joke of it, but at the end of the day, it was Clarkson making a sterotype of a profession for comical effect in a challenge. very similar to alot of sketch shows do on a regular basis, so wheres the difference?
also in america, the rate of truck driver murders prostitute cases is pretty high statistc wise!
the whole things blown out of all proprtion after the brand/ross incident.
i never thought id admit it, But i back Clarkson on this one. what he said im sure hasnt offended even a tenth of the people who have complained, there just jumping on the bandwagon after brand/ross.
if people dont want to be offended, watch something like songs of praise or fifth gear :lol:

I'm personally glad Top Gear's a little rebellious (or what would have been considered normal before the ultra PC brigade charged in a few years back and started complaining about everything), it makes TV less mundane and actually entertaining. I think that's why it's so popular, especially when you compare it to the oh so sensible and stupidly dull Fifth Gear. I used to watch that for the VBH factor, but she's barely even on it now. Just Tom Ford and Tim Shaw (had to Google that second guy), bowing down the truly amazing driving skills of Needell and Plato or giving out sensible consumer advice or putting some random cricket player in an off road vehicle to hopefully (but never) drive into a ravine :?
