The Daily Mail look for every possible excuse to attack the BBC. They had a go at the BBC for some of its reporters "not declaring commercial interests" when (a) they did declare them and (b) the Daily Mail owns 20% of rival TV news company ITN but somehow forgets to declare that every time it attacks BBC News.

They criticised the BBC for "faking" polar bear footage yet strangely forget all the times they have been caught photoshopping images. Badly. And the times they have stolen web content, often without credit.

Their attacks have become so over the top and transparent that even the comments on the Daily Mail article itself now commonly turn against the paper.

I thought "Jeremy Clarkson" before I clicked.

What's worse to me than the insults, or installing a toilet on the Jaguar, is that they call the car a jag-you-are.

The professionally insulted at work again.

Jeremy Clarkson accused of racism

This is news?

AGAIN

Ah, there it is, that makes it news.

They've taken the p!ss out of America more times than I can count - but picking on India is taboo?

In another shocking set-piece, the Top Gear team put banners promoting British industry on trains. One read, 'British IT is good for your company', and another, 'Eat English muffins'.
But the messages turned obscene when the carriages of the trains split.


... and shiat like that is exactly why I love Top Gear.
 
2011-12-30 12:49:39 PM
I love BBC's Top Gear!

Does that mean I'm racist?

I don't even drive fast, so how can I be a racist?
 
2011-12-30 12:50:11 PM
What culture DOESN'T Clarkson mock? He's a comedian. That's what they do.
 
2011-12-30 12:51:09 PM
I currently live in India.

I could take a shiat in the middle of the street and nobody would bat an eye.

Nobody.

Clarkson was making fun of Hammond, who always seems to get the runs on trips to other countries. (He had problems when he went to Vietnam too).

It's more a joke about how you should never drink the water when you go to a country like that. This isn't making fun of the unhygienic conditions, it's making fun of the local paramecium.
 
2011-12-30 12:52:37 PM
It's not racist to point out the truth
 
2011-12-30 12:53:01 PM
Apparently, you can make fun of other countries unless brown people live there, then it's "racist."
 
2011-12-30 12:53:28 PM
Well, in their defense, the British are drunk, inbred idiots and have bad teeth.
 
2011-12-30 12:53:28 PM
the British are, by nature, crude and distasteful. if i gave a shiat about jeremy clarkson's thoughtless remarks, i would take solace in his hideously ugly appearance
 
2011-12-30 12:54:53 PM
British comedy is an oxymoron, but he speaks the truth.
 
2011-12-30 12:55:08 PM
He just wants their oil.

Typical Right Wing Doosh: the British are, by nature, crude and distasteful.

Have you ever been to America? We're way cruder, more distasteful, and much uglier (because there is twice as much of each American to be ugly as compared to a normal weight human).

Isn't that a Russel Peter's bit? About the dude whose job is shiatting in front of the jetway?

I'm going to Kolkatta in ~1 week. First time there. Not sure if i'm looking forward to it or not.

As long as you've got one of these, any car is equipped with a toilet:

2011-12-30 01:02:58 PM
i.dailymail.co.uk

Also, this is pretty much a daily scene in India. I guarantee the camera crew didn't stake out this spot just to wait for a dog to walk up and take a piss - this just happens naturally here...

The other day I was walking through a very beautiful garden (India does have a lot of very nice, picturesque gardens and parks) and saw a dog taking a dump right in the middle of it. As the dog was taking a dump, another dog came up and bit it right on the ass causing a very vicious dog fight to break out right in the middle of the park.

Now I'm not trying to say that India is a bad place, just that you have to think certain things are fairly interesting in order to fully enjoy it.

falcon176: if you think India is clean then go take a dip in the Ganges

The holiness of the Ganges makes you immune to the sewage and dead bodies and garbage floating in it.
 
2011-12-30 01:04:04 PM
Well, yes, of course it was Clarkson, but all the stuff a whole 23(!) people are complaining about is exactly why millions watch Top Gear in the first place.

/They'll get over it.

They do that because that's the name of the car. It was a jag-you-are long before it became a jag-wah.
 
2011-12-30 01:05:05 PM
Who wouldn't want their own private portable toilet over there?
 
2011-12-30 01:05:54 PM
does someone really need Top Gear explained to them?
 
2011-12-30 01:06:08 PM
India might suck but Clarkson is still one of the most gigantic gaping assholes in the UK, so I would never trust his opinion on anything.

Least of all cars.

You'll enjoy it. Bring some Cipro and don't drink the water and don't trust the auto rickshaw drivers (or anybody else that may have a financial interest in whatever advice they may be offering). Overall, Indians are very cool and very kind to strangers. I've been here for a while now and I've really enjoyed my time here.
 
2011-12-30 01:10:01 PM
If someone doesn't get offended, then it really wasn't funny. Top Gear has crossed the line quite a few times, at least as far as my own personal taste goes. However, I'll happily take a big dose of that, if it prevents the show from turning into the sort of bland, safe, deliberately inoffensive "entertainment" that we tend to see so much of here in the United States.

You know the kind I mean. No sharp edges, and padding all 'round.

If people are writing in to complain, that just confirms that people are tuning in. Congratulations. You're a hit. Keep it up.

I suggest that you take up smoking, because at least then you'll be breathing through a filter. Who knows, it might save your life.

The pollution there is unreal. By far the worst that I have EVER seen...and I've traveled around a fair bit of the world.

I think that all politicians should be forced to live there for a week, just so that they know why the Clean Air Act is necessary.

Agreed. But make sure to travel by autorickshaw. They're badass.

Indians are such noble people. They use every part of the Jaguar and nothing goes to waste.

That's because of the proud tradition of doing the needful.

It was neither. It's pronounced Jaguar.
