The Mirror trying to screw over Clarkson with reprehensible charges

http://www.autoblog.com/2014/05/01/jeremy-clarkson-n-word-top-gear-video/?ncid=edlinkusauto00000016

James May says it all in a tweet James May ✔ @MrJamesMay Follow Jeremy Clarkson is not a racist. He is a monumental bellend and many other things, but not a racist. I wouldn't work with one. #ThatIsAll

He says tigger.....not the other word. Man, you gotta love any news establishment that makes up news.

Clarkson bigoted? Have you heard what he says about the French, or the Americans? I am pretty sure that is one of the reasons he gets paid what he does. It's one of his "things", it's his act.

Pretty weak charge BTW.... Donald Sterling he's not...

If you try hard enough, I am sure you could charge almost anyone in a similar way.

Just Clarkson being Clarkson, nothing to see here... I've never met the man but I do believe May's description is quite correct.

It's just a logical progression... you can't just not say the actual word but anything that sounds similar. Winne the Pooh had to resign in shame over a similar scandal and now the entire country of Niger has to be renamed.

I am personally breaking new ground and going after non-"igger" sounding things. I'm heading up the coalition to make the manufacturers of Spic and Span pay dearly. On behalf of Spans everywhere. It's time they had their due.

People certainly aren't being niggardly with their butthurt over words that may or may not be PC, are they?

Please tell me that nobody who's actually heard the video takes this seriously? And I'm including the Mirror, they are just trying to sell papers by drumming up controversy where none exists.

The Spans have gotten what they deserve.

LMAO

News outlets are notorious for jumping on the bandwagon on whatever else happens to be in the news at the time. Even if it means stretching it a bit or twisting around to make it what they want it to be.

I love me some chocolate nips, oh wait there is candy too?

Apt then, that it is hard candy, no?

You can't really hear what he's saying...he's never done anything to suggest he's a racist...guess it's a slow news week in the UK.

In reply to Giant Purple Snorklewacker:

Only when served cold.

'some people' need to grow a sense of humor....

Not to many things I hate more that supposed big tuff macho (mostly black) guys getting the panties in a wad over stuff like this... IMO it has become an epidemic. Why people run around looking for reasons to be viewed as a victim instead of doing anything else... I will never know.

Get over it.. Or keep telling Pollock jokes.. whatever..

On the other hand though... Would anyone be surprised to find out this stunt, and the preceding 'coverage' was Clarkson's own doing?

Do you guys know what the Mirror is? It's the lowest of the low tabloid gutter press. Most people wouldn't wipe their ass with it as it would leave more E36 M3 that it removed. Being published in the mirror almost proves it's fake.

It SAYS is REAL NEWS and REAL ENTERTAINMENT!!!

Apparently he has a mistress!!!!

I had never heard that nursery rhyme using the N word but I just asked someone older than myself to complete "eeny meeny......." And he used it!! I had no idea but the video is clearly just a mumble that I think someone with a preconceived idea of what is going to be said is going to hear what they expect.

There goes Jeremy's NBA career.

Mmmmm Pollock

I love how a country that is perfectly comfortable with royalty and the caste system is offended by racism...

why do I care?
