Clarkson joke sparks complaints.

[Rapidshare]

i can understand when people complain for a legitiment reason
for example
when michael fish guaranteed people there wouldnt be a hurricaine... and there was
but when people make a joke and it genuinely is funny... what is the point of it...

you speak out of your bum sometimes...

The only people who would complain are the people who murder prostitutes :rolleyes:.

They don't seem to care tbh

One of Britain’s biggest haulage firms, the Eddie Stobart Group, threw its weight behind Clarkson.
CEO Andrew Tinkler said: “They were just having a laugh. It’s the 21st century, let’s get our sense of humour in line.”


...

Trucker Nigel Folkard, 52, also backed Clarkson. Nigel, who pilots a 14-wheel big rig, said: “I found that show absolutely hilarious. There was no maliciousness in it whatsoever.
“What’s going on in this country? You can’t make a joke without people going crazy.”

But others held different views, including Eddie Stobart chief executive Andrew Tinkler, who said the reference was used to comically exaggerate an unfair urban myth about the world of lorry driving.
He said: "They were just having a laugh."
Will Shiers, editor of Truck & Driver magazine, believed most of the UK's drivers who saw the programme loved it.
He said: "On the whole I thought the show was really entertaining."

Ooo, that's good to hear. It's more offensive to the lorry drivers than the prostitutes anyway. It is a bit pathetic how people are moaning about these things, he wasn't exactly rude about it. He just came out with the comments with no maliciousness behind them. If he pulled up photos of lorry drivers and started being rude, then that's a different story

The lorry drivers have been laughing at it and thinking its great how hes showing how hard there job is!

I can garuntee that he will say sorry and then make a HUGE fricken funny joke about it.

The prostitutes aren't laughing: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7708674.stm

But seriously, it was like so obviously a joke and just something that Clarkson says. Jeez lol.

[leah]

Everyone knows what hes like. People make such a big deal out of obvious jokes these days.

Prostitutes wouldn't want him fired if he was a client of theirs.

Everyone knows Clarkson is a a barrel of laughs, his humour is just... immense. If you can't handle it, don't watch it? :S

With Top Gear being the most watched TV Program in the UK, and Clarkson being one of the most famous BBC presenters EVER, it is highly unlikely any action will be taken.

I can predict that if Clarkson resigns / gets sacked, there will be more than 517 people who would stop watching. He really is one of the funniest people out there, who loves to complain and joke around about anything.

Pretty stupid to complain about the BBC. Everyone will always back up and take the BBC's sides as there will always be people who love the show.
