I hope not. Another scenario of the "N-word" being okay for some not others.

The BBC’s own editorial guidelines state: “Reclamation of the language has led to the term ‘n*****’ being used by some in the black community and terms such as ‘cripple’ are sometimes used humorously or ­sarcastically by people with disabilities.

But this usage may still cause distress within these communities and is also much more likely to cause offence when employed by someone who is not a member of the community in question.”



Wow. Again, if a word uttered by someone you do not know causes "distress" in your community, then said community is doomed to fail repeatedly.

Ok, I listened to the video and I don't hear it... I don't put it past him as he def pushes the envelope, but I doubt he would be that blatant.

He starts putting n on everything as he does it


I know it as (Spelling it likely off, but youll get the jist)

Eeny meany miney moe


He does it as:

Eeny neeny niney no



Also, in reading the article, they brough in an audio forensics team to decipher it? They really think that BBC scrambled the audio to cover it? Have they seen the production quality of the show?


Please correct me if I am reading that wrong.

Top Gear is a BBC cash cow I doubt they fire him.

Would not watch the show without Clarkson. He IS Top Gear. May and Hammond would flounder without him.



ETA: Thinking about it, May and Hammond would probably leave the show if Clarkson was fired.

WTF is this crap.... LINK

quote:

Davies said: "We are to write to every ambassador and the US president next week asking them to consider the evidence and them once to decide if this racist show should be broadcast in their country in future."


Apparently they had no problem when they killed the black stig and replaced him with the white stig. However something that sounded like the word and never aired is appalling. Words hurt amirite gang?

Would not watch the show without him. I love Hammond and May but Clarkson really is 90% of the show's comedy and creativity. His presentation videos for different cars are always the best and my favorites.
