It's bad form to mock India's unhygienic conditions and lack of sanitation among the poor by driving around the slums in a Jaguar fitted with a toilet

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It was neither. It's pronounced Jaguar.
