Aye, that was a pretty bad taste joke. Didn't
find it funny either.
Thought it was quite a good episode though.
The loopy challenges they do every so often
like racing to the North Pole in a 4x4 are
really good. Hope they've got some more of
them in this series.
================================
From BBC News (4 November 2008):
Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson has
prompted nearly 200 people to complain to the
BBC about a joke he made on Sunday's motoring
show.
Clarkson, 48, was taking part in a
lorry-driving task, when he suggested that
lorry drivers kill sex workers.
"Change gear, change gear, check mirror,
murder a prostitute, change gear, change
gear, murder. That's a lot of effort in a
day," he said.
Lorry driver Steve Wright was jailed in
February for killing five prostitutes.
Clarkson's joke, made before the watershed,
sparked 188 complaints. |
