InitialDave posted:Yeah, that wasn't very good. I liked Hammond's seemingly genuine enjoyment of razzing his Mini around, and did manage a good solid laugh at the sight of the Jag and Roller running Simex tyres, but that doesn't help drag up the rest of it. The idea that he painted a mexican flag on it is stretching credulity a bit, accidentally painting a star and crescent moon would just be ridiculous.

Cat Terrist posted:I would have thought the thing the Indians would have arced up about was the use of Bombay instead of its real name Mumbai. That really surprised me as that is a very touchy issue to the residents of said city as to a great many it brings back memory of the British occupation and all the unplesantness that bought with it. Everything else was frankly barely minor and just silly. Yeah, and on the map they spelt Kolkata in its pre-1947 format: Calcutta.

Do you happen to have a link? Its sounds really interesting.

Cakefool posted:It was a good rebuttal of the idea that nothing was made in the UK though, even if "made" was stretched to breaking point. When people say that, though, they don't literally mean that Britain makes nothing anymore. They're just making a point that compared to the past Britain manufactures far less than it used to.

PT6A posted:It is to laugh. I wish Clarkson actually were a racist and an imperialist, just to piss you off more. He is. I read The Times which publishes his writings. Not one word will you find in his columns on any foreign civilian killed by shock and awe or drone strikes, but when the medical services mishandles the treatment of just a single soldier he will dedicate an entire column to it.

I could tell you more news too: Marullus and Flavius, for pulling scarfs off Caesar's images, are put to silence. Fare you well. There was more foolery yet, if I could remember it.

NO gently caress YOU DAD posted:Have you ever been to a work party? I used to work in the media, and if people weren't punching each other they were being sick up the walls and having adventurous sex with each other's wives. This would be a complete non-event if not for the involvement of Clarkson and the weird agendas of hemp enthusiasts. This whole thing is a big deal dude whether you like it or not. The BBC wouldn't have suspended Clarkson if he hadn't done something seriously wrong. Think of how much it's going to cost them in terms of audience and the fines they'll have to pay foreign broadcasters for failing to deliver a completely new season of the show on time. No company would do that to themselves unless they absolutely had to.
