So, it’s begun! After the recent bout of media stirring with the Ross/Brand affair, the general public and tabloids have started demanding the resignation/sacking of anyone they don’t particularly like!
Yes, Clarkson is brash, rude and opinionated. But isn’t that why people watch the show? If people don’t like what he says, why don’t they change channel and watch bloody songs of praise or something equally less likely to offend their highly moral lives!!!.. :wink:
ā€œRant overā€ā€¦

What is wrong with people? It’s common knowledge that Clarkson likes to wind people up with inflammatory statements, particularly those parts of the motoring world he either doesn’t understand or like. If you’re likely to get upset by him, don’t watch the bloody programme! - I did watch it and thought it was very funny

Some people really need to get a life :w00t: Englands such a nation of whiners :w00t:

I found it funny.:smiley:

It was in ā€œbadā€ taste, but still bloody funny. People need to take a very large pinch of salt when watching TopGear. Silly buggers, of course Clarkson is being rude, that is how he is!

gear change, gear change, mirror, gear ,mirror, gear, kill a prostitute, gear, mirror, kill another prostitute:w00t:

well this sais it all really: "there where only 188 complaints BEFORE the incident was commented on by newspapers and telly reporting…

:smiley:

thats only the usuall number of complaints he gets a show for being himself

500 out of 7 million is really not that bad…If you watch Clarkson you expect him to come out with this stuff… I, for one , would be disappointed if he didn’t:D

Thought the whole show was hilarious…especially when hamsters car fell off the back of his wagon!:smiley: oh and him saving his beloved car ā€œoliverā€:w00t: by not doing his hill start!

well what about the Muslim Chef that is sueing the police for making him cook pork… WTF is that about??? Same like the guy working in the shopping market that wouldn’t move alchool around wtf… no one is asking you to eat or drink it.

Anyhow, saw that in Monday’s Metro and though it was a joke… same as this complaint against the Top Gear man:) WTF are the people on about…

I’m kinda disappointed, personally I thought Jezza would be able to **** more people off. :wink:

Stuff like this is the reason Top Gear is a ā€œmust watchā€ :smiley:

Yes, that’s the amazing thing, imho.

Number of complaints at the time the programme was shown: very few.

Number of complaints once the press have told all the people who never watched the show in the first place to go and watch it and then complain: thousands.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

You lot are not going to believe this: I was watching the South East News and the newsreader sneezed during what was a very solemn story about someone’s pet being injured because it got caught down a drain.

I am thinking of mounting a campaign to get the girl sacked . . . how dare she sneeze in the face of a family’s obvious trauma . . . who’s with me? :w00t:

(Luckily Benji the Collie is recovering well, otherwise it would be a public hanging . . ?)

Too many Daily Mail readers with too much time on there hands if you ask me.Oh here’s a band wagon lets jump on it like miopic sheep

lol i thought it was a brillant episode!!!

yes i laughed too ,

but what he should have said is lorry drivers kill other road users … as they do that more often than prostetutes

I thought the episode as a whole was very funny but I thought the ā€˜joke’ about killing a prostitute was pathetic. My concern was not bad taste but quality control - it was just not funny.
