So come on then which of you caravan owning, van driving, Jesus lookalikes have been complaining? Laughing

Full story here.

Good to see the Beeb have supported them and not bowed to the PC brigade!

The funny thing is is that they recieved 2 complaints about a muslim comment, one about the Jesus comment and a whopping 120 or so I think about the caravaning. Laughing

Brilliant! Laughing I don't watch telly, so I've never seen that.
I do like ol' Clarkson tho', and I have felt embarrassed when so-called bikers have made complaints about him in the past.
He is obviously just 'tongue-in-cheek', and can be very funny at times.

See, what the BBC should have done is issued this statement:

"To everyone who has complained about Top Gear. We don't fucking care. Get a life."

They always make a joke out of their complaints though, it's great!!

Like the time they received a complaint that they "don't put enough reasonably priced, practical family cars on the show." So what do they do? Do a small feature about this thing!! They said it had "great fuel economy and a big luggage compartment."

It's called the Caparo T1...

Clarkson then said "Oh, by the way we made the bit up about the luggage space."

You can see why

Laughing
