Top Gear picks on Mexicans

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05dys...ayer_embedded#

the original video is gone but i foudn this other one. I m sure its going to be a race between the BBC lawyers and uploaders to keep live.


Apparently they have got some complaints. Its quite funny unless you are Mexican I suppose.


Hammond: "I'm sorry just imagine waking up and remembering you're Mexican. 'Oh Damn' "

Clarkson: "it'd be brilliant because you could just go back to sleep again"


Clarkson then said they wouldn't get any complaints from the Mexico Ambassador because he'd be sleeping and mis the program.

The Ambassador apparently called the BBC to say some of the comments reported to him were "inexcusable"

this article quotes a remark in the Guardian

One commenter reminded himself of a TV review about a BBC period drama which featured a woman pleasuring a maid.

He wrote: “It’s not every day you see a leatherclad ***** on the BBC. Unless it’s Jeremy Clarkson.”

anyone know which show he's going on about?

See, this simply adds onto why I love Top Gear so much.
These guys have made fun of just about EVERYTHING and EVERYONE out there (very often including themselves) so the fact that they're now picking on Mexicans (and all of us Hispanics in general) is just funny to me.

Besides, even I wouldn't buy a Mexican sports car.

you could maybe be upset if they are normally very polite and PC, but this is what they do. they make fun of americans and americans constantly, and also italian cars, chinese cars...everything. it's normal for them, but a particularly funnier than normal!

I remember when they did a special on Vietnam and made fun of communism (I disapproved of communism btw) and the Vietnamese community over there (I'm Vietnamese) and I wasn't offended at all, in fact, I thought it was brilliant!
