Dave F Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Just heard on the news Clarkson has had complaints for accusing lorry drivers for being prostitute murderers. Can people no longer take a joke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 You can't complain about something that's true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I must admit it was a bit naughty, but really funny when he was explaining the 'juggling act' of doing all those things at the same time; changing gears, looking in mirrors, murdering prostitutes, changing gears etc Another one for the boot then?

Tannhauser Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 it will be complain complain now after brand/ross Could be the start of a great purge: Ross, Brand...then Clarkson, Gok Wan and Graham Norton. If only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Graham Norton (definitely) and Gok Wan I can sort of understand, but Clarkson? Unless he's going into politics, its always good to see him on TV IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Could be the start of a great purge: Ross, Brand...then Clarkson, Gok Wan and Graham Norton. If only. Normally I would agree with you; but Gok Wan, annoying pointless man that he is, makes large breasts appear on my TV at prime time. Thats a good thing.

Pot Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Clarkson's always had my respect for being a straight talking person who doesn't give a shit about what people think. Yes, there are other people in the world who do the same, but at least he makes it obvious it's all a joke... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 BBC comment: "The vast majority of Top Gear viewers have clear expectations of Jeremy Clarkson's long-established and frequently provocative on-screen persona. This particular reference was used to comically exaggerate and make ridiculous an unfair urban myth about the world of lorry driving, and was not intended to cause offence." Quite right. Some people should just lighten up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I think it's ridiculous to suggest that all lorry drivers are prostitute murders etc...... It's just most of them and those that aren't muderers are just rapists but besides that, they're great..... H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I had to google Gok Wan. Shudder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I had to google Gok Wan. Shudder. Maybe you should've tried, Gok Wan's bangers. I'd bet you'd have a much more favourable result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pot Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Results 1 - 10 of about 907 for Gok Wan's bangers. 'Mr Pot' has 426,000, and I don't need thick rimmed glasses to look a bit odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinboy Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 The Ross/Brand issue is the thin end of the wedge i reckon - it's going to be used as an excuse to reprimand/fine/tick off or sack anyone in the beeb who doesn't quite live up to the dumbed down not in my back yard holier than thou would you please think of the children nanny state bollocks that we live in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonG Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 The thing is the animal he was on about was a fork truck driver not a lorry driver as a lorry driver myself i loved the program and mess they made of it you just dont pay any attention to what comes out of his mouth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
