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.

Tramp-stamps, how do they work?


Very well !

Tramp-stamps, how do they work?

Dude you should of made a scene that would have been gold. I am in a total agreement with you, can't for the life of me understand why people want there little girls to grow up so fast by subjecting them to the adult world so early.
In reply to this comment by KnivesOut:
I was forced to sit through a FOUR HOUR dance recital not long ago, since my niece (who was 6 at the time) was participating. She had a total of about 4 minutes of dancing, and the rest was watching other peoples kids dance. The variety of performances was all over the map, ballet, tap, modern (like the video above), clogging, etc.

Let me tell you, people seem to have no problem with dressing their daughters up like tramps to perform suggestive dances in front of crowds.

I just don't get it. It was very uncomfortable. Here I am, a grown man, I know my boundaries, and yet here's a situation where they are apparently consciously tempting you over that line. It was very awkward. Thankfully, my wife (who was just as uncomfortable about the ordeal) has vowed to never let my sister-in-law guilt us into attending another.

I'd upvote twice for 'black mesa tramp stamp' if I could... =)

Id love for her to sit in the car and get cut up by all the glass and then raped by a tramp with aids.

Anyone else a bit disappointed she didn't get carried off by the tornado?


I do find westy's comment to be more offensive and tactless, but nowhere near as inflammatory as others think.

Dude! Everyone likes a little misogyni humor, but there's a line and it was waay back there!

How is my comment misogynistic ?

If annything my piont is only realy offensive to people that happen to have aids or are tramps .



>> ^Issykitty:

Thanks for the visual. I'm going to go put on my breast cancer awareness shirt and masturbate now.

Well the woman should not be so pathetic , with anny luck there will be a shift in reality and comments on internet videos will suddenly enact themselfs on people.

I would kill to be in this situatoin having a tornado form infront of you.

surely if you lived in anny place where these things happen you would research it to the piont you know what to do when it happens , i mean i live in shitty england where nothing happens but i know what to do / how safe dangerouse tornadoes are when u are neer them.

god forbid this woman was in a earth quake " IM GOING TO STAY INSIDE WHERE ITS SAFE "

Westy, there's a difference between between being funny and being a psychopath. You need to seek professional help. The audio of this frightened woman may be annoying to you, but blurting out that you wish she was raped or cut up is truly sick. If, while watching this, the joke that forms in your mind is "I wish she was raped" .. it's time to find a psychiatrist.
