Ofcom can suck my balls, Clarkson is a legend and one of the very few people on TV who a) has a personality that hasn't been created for him and b) doesn't give a shit what he says as long as he makes his point.

Are people of minority groups really so weak and feeble they have to complain to regulatory bodies as soon as something pokes a little fun at them, fucking hell, if I got offended every time someone had a joke at my expense I'd be locked in a sterile, padded cell, wearing a straight jacket so nothing including me could hurt me.

EDIT:

Ridiculous. Especially since they are saying that gay is acceptable to be used to mean "foolish, stupid and socially inappropriate, or disapproved of and lame", which personally I'd say is far more offensive to gays than saying a car has homosexual tenancies. Fucking idiots.

I thaught exactly the same thing when I read that part.

It's not like he said that it was faggoty or a car for fags. From gay guys I know that's the term they find most offensive. Gay is how they describe themselves and "Ginger Beer" is hardly offensive slang.

At least it's not so openly blatent as these 42 Below Vodka Ads.


42 below ads rule.
(By the way surveys were conducted and gay men actually liked the ads.)

Is this the same Jeremy Clarkson who once said "Only gays would drive a car like that, like you James [May] with your big floppy hair" and everyone just laughed and no-one printed a story about it?

So howcome you can call people homosexuals and gays, but not using rhyming slang for it? How very ginger beer!

This is ridiculous. Those people that complained need to be hung. I dont understand people like those that complained.
