| Jeremy Clarkson |
It's hard being Jeremy Clarkson, from BBC Top Gear presenter into a social pariah, you wouldn't know that this presenter at his 50's really took the raps from various groups. Recently, he offended most Indians during the Top Gear India special. So what? Most people around the world HATES Jeremy Clarkson! The Indians, the Arabs, the Mexicans, the Morris Marina owners club, The Stig, gosh he's more annoying that what you might think!!
Anyway, UK's Telegraph listed the 10 Clarkson mishaps that offended the global scale, making him the most annoying human being of the world.
1) The Mexicans (February 2011) - BBC apologized to the Mexican Ambassador over the comments from Top Gear saying that Mexican cars are "lazy, feckless, flatulent oaf with a moustache, leaning against a fence asleep" just like the Mexicans, well that's what Hammo said. The Mexican government demanded a formal apology to the BBC because what Top Gear said to the Mexicans are derogatory, cruel, xenophobic, discriminatory, and racist.
2) Special needs (just like Budoy) (August 2010) - In one episode of Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson commented on the Ferrari F430 Speciale (which in fact, the Ferrari SP1 made for the Japanese client) and he said that this care is a "simpleton" and this should have been called the Ferrari F430 "Speciale Needs", which in fact made the National Autistic Society angry.
3) Muslims (July 2010) - Jeremy Clarkson claims that burkas and lingerie are the biggest distractions on the roads. The burka part wasn't a good idea for him and while he got out from the taxi at Piccadilly, a woman in burka tripped Clarksie on the pavement. Besides, most countries in the Middle East are not included in the 170 territories where Top Gear's been broadcasted.
4) Black Muslim lesbians (October 2009) - One issue of Top Gear Magazine made readers so angry about when Clarkson is accusing the producers of being fixiated with having "black Muslim lesbians".
5) British Prime Minister Gordon Brown (February 2009) - Back when Gordon Brown is UK's prime minister, Clarkson's "one-eyed Scot" comment really made Gordon Brown angry during an Aussie press conference.
6) Truck drivers (November 2008) - Lorry drivers are the British term for truck drivers. In one segment about truck driving, Clarkson described about the truck's gear change. "Change gear, change gear, change gear, check mirror, murder a prostitute, change gear, change gear, murder. That’s a lot of effort in a day.” Clarkson called those truck drivers as murderers and that's very offensive.
7) BBC;s governing body (July 2008) - The Top Gear Polar Special sparked fury by the BBC when Jeremy Clarkson caught drinking liquor while he and James May are driving the Toyota Hilux all the way to the North Pole.
8) The anti-smoking movement (October 2007) - Jeremy Clarkson's idea of lighting up a Porsche Design pipe caused anger by the anti-smoking movement. Also, he was accused of breaking a law but puffing on the pipe in the Top Gear studio.
9) Malaysians (October 2007) - In Clarkson's DVD titled "Heaven and Hell", Jeremy Clarkson destroyed the Perodua Kelisa, which is made in Malaysia. Clarksie said that this Malaysian micro-mini is the worst car in the world and he said it was made by "jungle people who wear leaves as shoes". Ouch!
10) Germans (December 2005) - One part of some Top Gear episode made Jeremy Clarkson does a Nazi salute to the BMW and he commented that one of the cars needs to have a navigation system that "only goes to Poland". What with? Berlin to Warsaw in one tank?
Verdict: Yes I know. It's bad, I'm sorry. It's hard being a Jeremy Clarkson when your comments sparked fury among race, sex, gender, and most of it. Pretty soon, if parents caught their kids watching Top Gear, they should said that this show is a bad influence to them because of Clarkson. Rubbish!
