This time they've offended the Indians, apparently.

Anyone see it? I didn't think it any more controversial than usual for TG. If anything I thought it did wonders for the Indian Tourist Board in showing some wonderful scenery.

Odd that it's taken some 2 weeks for the Indian High Commission to make an issue of it though.

@sp1814 - “... Strange though, how those who jump to defend Clarkson's brand of 'offensive' humour are the same who jump to decry Russell Brand/Jonathan Ross/Frankie Boyle/Jimmy Carr/Ricky Gervais...”

Do they? That sounds like one of those off-the-cuff, unprovable, sweeping generalisations to me. How on earth do you know that the people who 'support' Clarkson also decry the likes of Jimmy Carr and Ricky Gervais et al.?

I can't stand Clarkson. 'The hamster' is an annoying little t1t as well.
There, I've said it.

What's the world coming to when people take Clarkson seriously?

Slightly off-topic, but people in glass houses......
