I feel insulted by your disparaging and insensitive remarks about precious and oversensitive souls.



I'd be seeking legal advice, if only I could stop crying like a little baby for long enough.

Please don't mate, I had enough of them on twitter on Tuesday night.

Made talksport as well Darren gough calling for clarkson to be sacked!



It was just him being him bit ott calling for sack, clarkson making a joke.



Clarkson making shock comments to get publicity when there will be a Christmas book and DVD to sell.

His comments were not aimed at me but I wouldn't take it too personally if it was.

I think the BBC actually make money on Top Gear by selling it and franchising it around the globe (the US version is truly awful and can be found on some satellite channel or other over here).



The car show is great (sorry, was great, it's repetitious rubbish now), and in that environment (without the jokes about lazy Mexicans) he is fine. He makes cars (a rediculously boring subject to the vast majority who don't get a hard on at the thought of a supercharged V8 or an automatic torque biasing centre differential) moderately entertaining.



Unfortunately he then tries to do [iother things[/i. His books are the ramblings of the insane, collected from the walls inside toilet cubicles at Broadmoor. Anything else he does on television either involves insulting people to be "controvertial" or his obsession with the military. He's a school boy who's failed to grow out of an early teenage fatuation with WW2 as seen in Commando magazine. I suspect he has Airfix Tornado bombers hanging from fishing line in his bedroom (or study - where he writes all his masterpieces). There are 50 year olds out there who have a deep infatuation with the military (but obviously wouldn't go near the army themselves) . But usually they live with their parents and have 4ft high piles of "Gun Nutter" magazine and "Secrets of the Special Forces Killers" DVD's everywhere and they get picked up by the filth for flashing teenage girls or shooting presenters of Crimewatch.



I like him really.

LAD.

Sums it up really. People seem to find being outraged at something some sort of past time these days

Fortunately for us Dave wasn't outraged by his mate's joke.

Probably because unlike most of the fekwitts in this country he can think for himself and make his own decisions up, rather than letting a newspaper / tv program / magazine make it for him

I really must stop finding things offensive just because the media tells me to. I'm obviously much less clever than leicester_rhino and all his incredibly clever friends who "got" the joke.



Still, if you think it's ok that someone should make a joke about having striking workers shot and then in the next breath draw comparisons to wounded war veterans then good for you. I just wish I had the intelligence to agree with you, honest.



I guess I'll just have to settle for being patronised instead.

I can't think of anything better, more rational or intelligent than being outraged at Clarkson. Not his comments, just the fat, odious, curly haired oaf himself.



I am not outraged at him as I generally avoid watching or listening to anything featuring his bilious face or grating tones but if I feign some faux outrage at his crass and ill judged comments and it helps remove his offensive presence from my screen all together then what could be more rational, free thinking and intelligent than that.

Nice one.I wish I could have posted this somewhere else yesterday.
