Top Gear now facing potential legal action thanks to insane equality laws

[Jordy]

I never said you did, I brought up the following: If any of the current hosts leave Top Gear or get fired then Top Gear won't be the same.

You then told me how it's JC's show and then I decided to reply even if that is the case, all three of them still maker what Top Gear is.

Good. It's the way in which you quoted me and then made the remark about hosts leaving which implied I said something about hosts leaving. Well he does write the content and do more things behind the scenes, hence why I called it JC's show. But yes I do agree all three make Top Gear what it is.

haha

I'm sure top gear has insulted pretty much every country including us? I don't get why they're taking this to heart. I might just try and find some mexican TV (if there is any) which insults us and send it to the ambassador.

It's stupid how Family Guy is allowed to make fun of Britain and Mexico and others place I cannot be bothered to list, but Top Gear isn't!

[Hecktix]

If anybody is idiotic enough to take what is said on top gear as serious it really worries me, they are barely factual about the cars nowadays and it's much more of a comedy kind of show than a factual show as it started out, not that I'm complaining I love Top Gear.

If these comments had been made on a show not known for it's somewhat sadistic humour, for instance the news then yeh they would be out of place and perhaps inappropriate, however like someone else in this thread there isn't anything that Top Gear hasn't taken the piss out of and if anyone is weak enough to be offended by what they say then it's the persons problem, not Top Gears.

I think big corporations such as the BBC are too quick to jump and apologise in these instances too, the same with SkySports the other week with those off-air sexist comments.

BBC1 is called BBC One and Top Gear is shown on BBC Two. Brilliant journalism there.

I agree that taking legal action is overreacting. However why they felt they needed to make those comments, which would obviously create a controversy, i don't know.

If people don't like something on TV then don't watch it. Top Gear are so true to their words.

[Moh]

What do you expect when you watch Top Gear? They're taking the piss out of everybody. So either they're hypocritical, watching it knowing other countries get ragged or they just watched it to make some sort of complain.

The most annoying thing is that the BBC is funded by the TV Licence, so if somebody in the UK makes a complaint and they have to pay a fine, it's tax payers money that's getting wasted. idiots.

Clarkson is known to be outspoken against political correctness, and i'm on his side in that battle - if he can show it up for what it is (ridiculous, over-reactionary nonsense) then good for him and good for the rest of us before we all end up in court for being 'offensive'.

i thought the whole of the BBC was part of the PC-Brigade and hated normal british mail readers!!!!!!
