JC and the Hamster in Mexican standoff
« on: 01 February 2011, 19:04:48 »

i thought they might cop it for the Mexican jokes

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-12338053

"Clarkson said he was confident he would not receive any complaints about their comments because the Mexican ambassador would be asleep."

ooops - someone must've woken him up  :-X

The Mexican ambassador should be grateful that Clarkson & co didn't go the whole hog....and reveal that most Mexicans are drug-crazed murderers. ;D

can always rely on top gear to say what most people think.  theres always someone got the hump no matter what you say, being race, joke, religion or something that doesnt even concern them at all, in this case the ambassador  ;D ;D

i think we're (as in british people) the most humorous.

look at american comedy....... generally obvious observational ''good clean fun''.

then look at frankie boyle. pure complex genius.

in my opinion of course  :)

humor depends how you handle the life, your habits , culture etc..   this ambassador could look the things from a more general point of view and could answer them in a humourly fashion  :-/ but instead take their speech as an insult.. thats wrong.. but on the other side these show makers must take into account that different countries are different and some people dont understand humour.. :(

I agree, but the Ambassador was probably pissing himself laughing when/if he watched it.  The complaint has more than likely been raised to show professionalism from a country which is not best known for it's 'correct' way of doing things.

yeah good point mate...

maybe his inability to find humour in the funny things said by TG is a reflection on how he actually views his own people....

e.g. if TG wasn't correct in their humorous generalisation there wouldn't be the backlash from the embassy?  :o ;D ;D ;D ;D

either way its important for everybody involved to think how it affects them and remember that top gear rule!!!! ;D ;D :D ;D ;D

I could think of another word to describe him, & I used it way, way, before he made the press with his so called humour!  :-?
