Re: Top Gear is back
Ive mostly gone off top gear these days as its well past its sell by date,but even cynical old me enjoyed the Burma special.Perhaps they should stick to an annual special program and ditch the weekly drivel?
Oh and I had never heard of the term "slope" as a racial slur either.

Top Gear is back
Are there really still people who watch telly to find things to be offended by?
F*ck you with every ounce of by being. Just f*ck you. Those people require extreme reconfiguration of their facial features. They need to be strapped into chairs and have their fingernails torn off one by one and then fed to them. People with that frame of mind are the ones who ruin everything for everyone else. JUST THINK OF THE CHILDREN!! Oh god, please think of the children.

Re: Top Gear is back
Or just send the children to bed. My kids 13 and 14 year old boys laugh like drains at Top Gear and have done for years, I often go into another room to watch it so that I can hear it over their laughter. Call me old fashioned, but I love it for the light entertainment show it is, I like the magazine too, not as good as Bike, but then what is?

My response was intentionally extreme.
But I also feel that although you say that all are entitled to their own opinions, it doesn't seen to apply to those in the public eye. If they were to say something that somebody somewhere may or may not be offended by it appears they are forced to apologise just in case.

Re: Top Gear is back
But why intentionally extreme? Are these people not allowed to have their view without being subject to threats (however remote they are) of violence towards them?
I don't agree with many views and I to have a dislike for those that are always trying to impose their beliefs on others, but I believe there is a whole world of difference between engaging in discussion with someone to understand or influence their view and threatening them for holding it.

I'm not back peddling. I made an intentionally extreme comment for comic effect. Clearly it wasn't effective.
