They saw an opportunity for some publicity and took it and made themselves look like fools

She really did.
She was so militant that even though she made some fair points she had lost before she started the pension debate.

With her angry red face and little piggy eyes.

You didn't see her in 'the green room' with Tessa Sanderson afterwards.

Was she washing her pig bite in a Cinzano and lemonade?

This is truly repulsive

I can't believe anyone is fucking retarded enough to take what Clarkson says seriously.
The man's a deliberate parody of himself.

While this is true
there are a lot of people who aren't aware of this. It's the same as Daily Mail columnists, it doesn't matter if they are fucking cunts, or just people clever enough to realise that by writing like a cunt people will pay you money (which still makes them cunts in my book).

The fact is a lot of people read them/listen to him and go "Yeah, he's right on the money" and this feeling supported in their view they go off on their own merry bigoted way.

However, in this particular instance, it's all fucking bollocks since it was clearly just a shit joke taken out of context.

ITV showed him walking to a plane and saying watch the quotes in context
They then proceeded to show the quotes out of context...

Hardly surprising
everyone makes money out of being outraged as it garners attention.

21,000 complaints now...I wonder if tyhe unions are coordianting their members?
the irony is that this row is distracting fromm their real issues around pay and pensions.
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 2 Dec 2011, 11:59, Reply)

It belittles the issue that is of massive importance to their members.
The response should have been "He's a cunt, let's move the debate on."
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Fri 2 Dec 2011, 12:01, Reply)

"members" is the appropriate word here
if you're dumb enough to be offended by what someone who is renowned for sarcastic arrogance says, switch off the tv and have a look at your life. and real life.

urgh!

Hang on, there is a phone call for you here, I'll just find out who it is.
Oh, apparently it's a Mr Terry Pot, I'll find out what he wants.

Hmmmm, I've had to hang up on him, he started off by implying you should be boiling water, and then he started hurling all this racist abuse.

Don't know what that was all about.

It's even funnier because your response makes it look like you don't actually understand my post.

no, al
it makes it look like this:

I DON'T CARE!

( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 2 Dec 2011, 12:37, Reply)

Quite
you'd think they would just let it go and say, "look, Clarkson thinks it's a good thing, therefore anyone with a modicum of intelligence ought to be questioning what's wrong with it"
(Bazongaloid, Fri 2 Dec 2011, 12:02, Reply)

It's the whole Ross/Brand thing again, as well.
There have been 20,000 complaints. Of which 75% are from people who haven't even fucking seen it.

This could be a good way to find people to cull...

It's ITV, what do you expect.
It's the lowest common denominator.
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Fri 2 Dec 2011, 11:59, Reply)

No, you're right, sometimes it's hard to tell with him
but this one was so fucking obviously a joke that it's embarassing.

Daily Mail writers ARE counts, though. Clarkson is an amateur compared to them.

Did anyone see BBC Breakfast this morning? It was fucking hilarious.
They were discussing the Clarkson thing. There were 2 guests - 1 from an anti-censorship group, another from the GMB union (I think).

Charlie Nice-But-Dim had the union guy on the ropes with the 'he was quite clearly just kidding, have a fucking word with yourself' argument, and the best the union guy could come up with was 'this was not funny because some strikers actually did get shot. In Guatemala. Once'.

I actually howled with laughter. At BBC Breakfast. I couldn't believe it. What a twat. He totally dimished the genuine argument that the strikers have, by being a complete tool.

All aboard the Offended Bus. Toot toot.

I'm glad you're here to make this point because otherwise there is no way the people above would have realised this.

I didn't see anyone else mention this morning's BBC Breakfast programme
