Mexicans complain about Top Gear slurs

Anyone who takes them this seriously needs to get a life. Mind you I don't think TG will give a rats as it is free advertising.

Well, he got the "leaning" part right. What a vato mobile looks like. It's not authentic though, unless it has a small steering wheel. I'll ahh.... zip my trap at this juncture. :O:

The lawyers love it.:nope:

Who hasn't TG insulted? One of my favorite shows BTW.

I can kind of see the ambassador's point, though. I think those remarks totally mischaracterize the Mexican people. I should know; they all live here now:DL

Get over it!
Jemery won the TG award for best pickupline when he was talking to a woman in the audience: "Your american?!?! Your not nearly fat enough"

Heh, just saw that episode again yesterday.

Well, they have insulted the US so many times, and in the latest show took on their Australian counter-parts and won (by cheating - see the souped-up transit van). So I don't think this latest incident will harm the show, its to popular.

Hell, they were banned from travelling to the US for a while.

Frankly I have always though that show was for brainless people.

<forum nazi english mode> Anyhow fixed the title of the thread, no reason to be possessive (particularly singular possessive) :O: </forum nazi english mode>

That's actually the point of the show I think. Funny semi-informative comedy show.

TG is one of the best shows produced for the BBC, it (and it's franchise) are loved the world over with a few exceptions;

(Most) Americans, Canadians, Australians, Mexicans, Turks, Poles, Germans, Russians, French, Welsh, Scots, Cornish, Pedestrians, Hikers, Cyclists, Farmers, Lorry Drivers, People with computers, People with mobile phones, Gingers - to name but a few :D

Anyone offended should either know that it's all tongue-in-cheek, or they should switch channels. Me, I love it :up:

Don't forget the tree hugging hippies!

And people who drive 500 series BMW's

From what I've heard about Top Gear their humor strikes a certain chord. Wonder what the BBC is willing to sacrifice to keep their gravy train rolling. :)
