Because it's wordplay, not an actual attack on that man on the bridge. This is the exact process I went through. I'm Indian myself and I really don't see what she's so up in arms about. lostleaf posted:I'm pretty sure Indian people are considered Asian. But then I never heard of Indians being ridiculed for slanted eyes. I don't know what rod that actress shoved up her own butt. Also this.

Britgoons might be interested in this other program, For The Love Of Cars, Channel 4 8pm tonight. I watched last weeks episode and it was a bit cack. Actually it made Wheeler Dealers look tight and polished. Phil Glenister cocks about with some "enthusiasts" and Ant Somebody cocks about with lumps of rust in a lock-up. This is then transformed into a concourse vehicle with very little detail. Roadkill it is not but it does have cars in it and is Claudia Winkleman free. Tonights is about an old Landrover so more rust and fires than usual I'm guessing.

Can I sue TG/Jezza too? Any time the subject of North America comes up he's always on about how it's a continent whose entire population consists of fat, stupid sister-fuckers. He's written entire columns about how daft the Americans are (and frequently groups Canada with the US). It's not even remotely subtle.

The first season is pretty bad. After they realize their studio segment was worthless, they dropped it completely. All they do now is challenges.

Speaking of racial slurs, the Daily Mirror (formally run by Clarkson's old mate Piers Morgan) today ran a story alleging that he used the n-word during a recording in season 19; Clarkson denies it; the Mirror doubles-down. Let's see where this one goes.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad posted:Uh oh. http://broadcastnow.co.uk/5071247.article I sodding hate the term "n-word". If you're discussing someone else's (alleged or otherwise) use of it, or referrring to it in a similar context, saying "friend of the family" does not mean you are an extra from American History X, you are just a loving adult who is capable of discussing an issue you were not directly involved in. Leave such infantile nonsense to people who use terms like "trigger warning" seriously. It's a word, it offends people, but if the use of the word when discussing the word itself or its use offends you, you have serious problems. As for the Clarkson thing, his explanation (that using the rhyme with "friend of the family" slightly mumbled so as to not blatantly use it still made him uncomfortable so he changed it for the final take) is completely reasonable. If you want to get your knickers in a twist about racism, that's what UKIP exists for.

He probably didn't mean to say it out loud, but he knew exactly what he was doing. And then he tries to go with this? “Please be assured I did everything in my power to not use that word.” Except for just not saying it. Why would he think it was a good idea to even mumble over it?

Why is that even a phrase in the UK? It makes sense in the US because of our racist past, but then we replaced the word with tiger.

ColdPie posted:This is why people use the term "trigger warning" seriously, btw. Out of respect for people with serious problems. It is a horrible turn of phrase that carries no sincerity whatsoever, and should not be in anyone's vocabularly. If you want to make it clear to people that you have no intention of offending them with what you say or what you show them, go to the effort of actually saying/writing a couple of sentences about what content is about to be presented, and allow everyone to make their own decision as to whether they want to go further. For my part, I prefer to treat everyone as a relatively well-balanced adult unless there is a good reason to believe otherwise, and assume that as part of this they can differentiate between a word/term/attitude/situation and a discussion thereof.

Much like certain posters in GBS 1.4, the fact that it's a word Clarkson would think is somehow amusing to use says a lot about him. And while he's free to be a racist in his own time, I don't think the licence fee payer should be subsidising it. Let ITV or C4 have him - I'm sure he will continue to write and say amusing things about cars for you Morphix, just not at public expense. I can think of a lot of things Auntie could have done with his £14m, starting with the Moto GP rights they lost to BT Sport and ITV respectively. The two saddest things about this are (i) it has given Piers Moron something to gloat about and (ii) it's not even amusing. I mean if you're going to shock people with unbroadcast footage, do it in style, like the cast of "Rainbow".

The Piers Morgan types and the Jeremy Clarkson types are two sides of the same coin. They have to keep saying/doing absurd poo poo so the spotlight never leaves them, whether they realize it themselves or not. Clarkson happens to be the host of one of the best shows in the history of television, but that doesn't stop him from being a lovely person with (fake?) lovely opinions. In the end the red mist just doesn't descend when somebody uses a racial slur on TV, if I want that I just look at some income inequality graphs in D&D.
