The girl on the left for me

I read a Jeremy Clarkson book saying that icelandic girls were angels once. I believe it now with that girl on the right, so cute.

As an Englishman if I spent my days explaining we don't all have crap teeth, live in Castles, are rubbish in bed and dress like tramps I'd never leave the house.
This has reminded me of a program in Jeremy Clarkson's CV that might be interesting. Called Jeremy Clarkson meets the Neighbours he travelled around Europe seeing if people matched their stereotypes. And then at the end a representive from that country would be interviewed and happily mock their nation.


As it was pointed out in Steve Coogan's article, there is a huge difference between rich white people making fun of other rich white people, and rich white people making fun of mexicans. For example, the same racist joke can be perfectly acceptable coming from a black comedian, but quite offensive when told by a white comedian.

I imagine that there's not much exposure to Mexicans in Britain, and perhaps Britain is spared the tension between different races, cultures, and social/economic status that long marred American history. So out of sheer ignorance I guess Hammond's joke could seem quite harmless.

Just out of curiosity, how would people react if an Englishman said similarly degrading things about the Scottish or Indians? (though I'm sure Scotland is much better off than Mexico)

You know if any significant number of people are getting up in arms about this they are way too thin-skinned and should have far better things to do than bashing a comedy motoring programme.

Yes these are lazy stereotypes but they happily take the piss out of themselves and anyone else. It's a silly programme, not always as funny as it thinks it is and always much better when they do serious motoring items.

And what about the millions of websites saying unpleasant things about Mexico? Is someone going to spend time and money getting those censored? No of course not, free speech is always going to bring you into contact with things you don't like to hear. Suck it up.

That was awful, just awful.

Top Gear lover...


I hate Top Gear (one because I'm not really into cars and two because I think Jeremy Clarkson is a world class wanker) but I have to agree with teebeenz. That was just awful and unfunny.

On a side-note, anyone who thinks Political Correctness is a good thing has seriously lost their mind.

Answer: "Cheese, wine and rubbish." - Question: "What three words best describe France?"

That's precisely what I thought as well, and what I presume most folks have thought. Incidently, it was answered by Jeremy Clarkson more than once over the years, particularly when they had a piece about Renault, Peugeot or Citroen on Top Gear.

Anyway, Frankie does rip a lot on Kerry Katona - and it gets better every time.
