We can't even take the piss out of our enemies in a very trivial way now! If we had had the same level of political correctness during WW2 would have been slagged off for singing Hitler has only got one ball.

No doubt the Uni-bollock legion was pushing for that to get banned back then, I guess their membership has diminished to just Suity now.Originally posted by xoggoth View PostComment

Clarkson is saying that the Press reports are completely distorted. He says the number plate was a coincidence, and when it was pointed out, they changed it. The "military veterans" who were so offended were, he says, in their twenties, so could hardly claim to have been involved in the Falklands War.
I'm sure he's still perfectly happy with the coverage in a "no publicity is bad publicity" sense, but I'm also not inclined to doubt that the tabloids just made up a load of crap for the sake of a few headlines

Getting sillier by the minute. Surely an intentional insult would have used the right numbers?The plate on May’s Lotus contained the number 646, which Juan Manuel Romano, an official in the province of Ushuaia, suggested could be a reference to the 649 Argentinean dead in the Falklands conflict. He noted that Hammond’s Ford Mustang had 269 in its plate, close to the 255 losses suffered by the British.
Anyway never mind that, why isn't Clarkson finding some way to insult the * Spanish? (see today's DE)bloggoth

Shock horror, Clarkson and Top Gear team in stunt that courts press attention and secures massive viewing figures for the next series. In other news, bears found to periodically defecate in the woods and Pontiff believed to be Catholic.Originally posted by darmstadt View PostComment

Does anyone remember Top Gear before Clarkson et al took over? Was it a bit boring? I don't recall it being very funny.Comment
