Complaints over Clarkson's Top Gear quip treble overnight

"If you tell someone you have fucked their granddaughter, it is funny if it's not true." I understand your point, Dominic, but would tend to question the example you chose to explain it. Not that I give two shits about any of this, really.

Nuts and seeds what a silly comment

NH - that was my attempt at being flippantly topical. ha ha!

This crap is getting out of hand. Glad to see the article writer points out that the Daily Mail used specific imagery designed to 'generate outrage' but you've got to wonder how many of the people who complained about this were also the ones complaining about Ross & Brand. Do these people just go through life outraged at everything and spend their time looking for something to vent their anger on? If so ... please get a life

TOP GEAR RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So did top gun when I was a young nipper....

Good grief! Can nobody see through this at all? The ENORMOUS MAJORITY of people who are complaining weren't even watching the show. This means, that these are the same PC-promoting, limp, handwringing, apologist, busybodies who will go out of their way to complain about something which they disagree with. They are not complaining because it offended them, they weren't even watching the show, and therefore could hardly have suffered any offence. It is these people who are a direct threat to the fabric of British society, and who ensure that trivialities such as this get blown out of all proportion, which will leave us with the kind of PC, sanitised, Orwellian society of which they secretly dream. Pathetic!

1717 Daily Mail Readers!

David, Pathetic is the only word that springs to mind when I hear about these sad cases. Great choice of closing dialogue!

zzzzz Darren you talk to much

Finally a sane and sensible point. There are probably too few swear words or spelling mistakes in your comment for Rikkard to agree with you Darren.

Holly glad you have made this comment; it has proven that busy bodies like yourself interfere . This is precisely what has happened to Mr. Clarkson. The only people who need to comment on Clarkson are those this insult was fired at.

Judging by how many comments you have made and the catty, bitchy nature of your comments, the only busy body round here Rikkard is you! And you still can't spell even after reading Darren's comment and correcting one of the two spelling errors you have made.

fire him! fire the BBC! ban peple having fun. free speech too - ban that!

Clarksons the daddy

Ban the Daily Mail - Please I know people that read this paper everyday and belive every word in it "Oh it must be true it was in the Daily Mail" Oh please come on get a life.At least the Sun doesn't take itself so seriously
