Clarkson compares Prius to deformed people - branded offensive and unacceptable - Polidicks

You missed a great opportunity to have this image in the OP [IMG]http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/63217000/jpg/_63217990_topgear.jpg[/IMG]

This is what happens when people take something Jeremy Clarkson says seriously, come on world lighten up. The car looks fugly.

[QUOTE=Chaos Creator;37869690]I always laugh at the amount of complaints. Unless it's something genuinely disturbing/wrong then their just being stupid. 137 is probably 0.01% of the people that actually viewed the program, that's before considering the fact it's then re-run all over the world.[/QUOTE] When looking at numbers of complaints, you have to remember that the people who actually send in complaints are just the most vocal of those offended. More people were probably offended (unfortunately), just they weren't offended enough to write in about it.

I found the comment hilarious. I guess I could see why people with deformities might take it another way but really it's part of mr Clarkson's moronic yet amusing persona. It isn't like he singled out anyone.

Poor prius getting raped.

Surely the person who wrote the joke should be punished not clarkson.

This always happens.

Some people can't take jokes, in fact they purposely redirect the jokes towards themselves just so they can complain about it because they think that other people can't take jokes.

The truth hurts. If you're an over sensitive pussy.

wait I don't get it I can't see the picture -fetches link from quote- ...oh. [I]oh...[/I] What in the hell- who designed that thing? You're absolutely right, it looks like a whale penis/tumor strapped to the car. If that was filled just right you could cause the whole thing to tip backwards...

[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;37869335]It seems like Top Gear is always in trouble for saying something that offends someone somewhere.[/QUOTE] Bubblewrapped people really hate it when Clarkson is walking around with needles.

[QUOTE] It ruled that remarks about not wanting to talk to the camper van at a party were "not editorially justified". [/QUOTE] [QUOTE] [IMG]http://www.motorward.com/wp-content/images/2012/01/Toyota-Prius-Camper-Van-1.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE] I think it's more than justified, I still don't know whether or not this image is an elaborate joke. [QUOTE=Neo Kabuto;37870156]It's no joke. [IMG]http://s1.aecdn.com/images/news/toyota-prius-camper-van-photo-gallery-41922-7.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] Eww, it looks like a toilet seat fused to a car.

Finally, I know what car company the guy who designed the Pontiac Aztek works for now.

Looks like a wasp with a floppy ass

Looks like someone made their own: [img]http://s3.amazonaws.com/uncooped_uploads_production/photos/9829/habitents_quarter_rear_photo.jpg[/img] Still looks better than the official one

You'd think that these people would have thought to just not watch Top Gear by now.

it looks like it's being humped by an amorphous blob

Was expecting Kelly Clarkson

I uh, don't see anything offensive in that given quote?

to be honest he's right and it seems every time I see/read/hear about a prius on the road the driver is [B]stupid[/B] though maybe less "harsh" wording is appropriate... the Prius isn't as clean as advertised.

more importantly why would you want to put a camper on top of the car i'm all for accessorizing things but not only is the camper ugly I can't imagine it's a great idea period

So? Deformed people are.. well... deformed. That's nasty, and from an evolutionary standpoint we're supposed to think that because they're not good mating material.

I wonder how big the list of people that top gear has offended now is?

Who the hell designed that car? That looks even worse than the original Fiat Multipla!

[QUOTE=Stockers678;37871961] Just gonna leave this here.[/QUOTE] I wish you hadn't posted this. Now I have to decide which I hate more, Stewart Lee or Top Gear. Holy shit. I thought I'd been watching it for 10 minutes but it was only 2:12. That is not the effect a comedian should have.
