After Clarkson savaged the Mail in his Times column at the weekend (reported here), the revenge hasn't been long in coming.

Gleeful, I think is the [i]mot juste.[/i

I await the next instalment.

The readers seem somewhat divided in their loyalties. :lol:

Hmmmm, moderated. Not a hope in Hell, methinks.

So we can safely assume that one-time D.M hero of the people Clarkson is the new Ross, then. Thanks in no small part to the rubbishing he gave this 'newspaper' in the Times. I'll get a comfy chair and some popcorn.

Interesting...Liam appears to have taken on a life of his own.

Methinks he's not the real Liam Tubshill. :wink:

Regardless, it's all looking like a nice Christmas present.

Oh that's my new-fangled wireless keyboard - it's very ssssssssensitive. Should read 8:04. I missed the time when copy/pasting and entered it myself with the noted result. :oops:

They're back for another pop.

Jeremy Clarkson accused of racism AGAIN after toilet jibes during Top Gear Christmas special in India

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... India.html

Quote:
Adding insult to injury, the latest programme was shown just two days after the murder of Indian student Anuj Bidve in Salford on Boxing Day.

Raj Dhutta, of the Manchester Indian Association, told the Star that the timing of the show was 'tasteless' so soon after Mr Bidve's killing, which police are treating as a hate crime.


Using a tragic event like the death of Anuj Bidve to fuel their ongoing campaign against Clarkson is shameful.

EDIT: Despite being a moderated story, they published my comment!

How the fuck does broadcasting it days after the tragic murder of an Indian student (which may well have nothing to do with him being Indian) add insult to injury?

Does it add insult to injury to broadcast it on a day when no doubt some people were killed by cars as well?

Or are the Mail suggesting that it was Top Gear and Clarkson specifically who drove the guy to shoot this particular student?

Truly the Mail will leave no stone unturned and no desperate bandwagon un-jumped when it comes to generating FURY.

Glad to see that the Leveson enquiry has made them rethink their entire ethos and start the New Year as a shining example of good journalism......oh :oops:

I watched the special last night, and it certainly wasn't offensive or racist (compared to 73.2% of all Daily Mail stories).

It just wasn't particularly good. They seem to be going more and more down the heavily scripting and desperately contrived bum and poo gags (not that that's always a bad thing :) )

I suspect they (the production company) are more concerned with cashing in on the brand than producing good television.

If they stuck to the high production values and great filming of previous specials (Botswana, Vietnam, US) and filmed the genuine experiences of three people who clearly do enjoy each others company, it would be so much better.

Instead, I wonder how many parents had to explain what a "muff" was this Christmas? :P

If I recall, its a particular type of British crumpet found only in certain parts of Oxfordshire and shared at dinner parties involving the Prime Minister, prominent tabloid editors and TV hosts - or am I remembering that wrong?

I'd go down on Richard Hammond any day, but the thats just me. Happy whatever it is.

PS: Don't blame me for this comment, it's my membership of CAMRA and being forced to drink the stuff they promote that is to blame.

Actually thinking about it, with Richard Hammond you wouldn't have to go down that far,

This either means that Hammond is much taller than he looks, or possesses an enormous wang. Have you met him?

Looks like he's their new whipping boy. Another anti-Clarkson piece in today's rag.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2083806/Jeremy-Clarkson-slammed-mocking-deaths-23-Chinese-cockle-pickers.html

I've been tossing it of this week (work wise) and have been watching old episodes of Top Gear on Dave during the day, I noticed on more than one occasion over the years he's made comments directed at the Mail - not exactly attacking it but certainly deriding it. His last piece must have sent Papa Doc over the edge.
