| Jeremy Clarksons latest insult |
| 2011-02-05 |
| Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson today fuelled the row over 'racist' remarks about Mexicans by further insulting them in his newspaper column. While the BBC was forced to apologise over comments on the motoring show last week which saw co-host Richard Hammond describing Mexicans as 'lazy, feckless... and flatulent', Clarkson accused them of having no sense of humour. In his Sun newspaper column today, the host attempted to make the point that without offensive humour, there can be no jokes. n doing so, he quoted jokes about various nations - including Britain - to tailor his argument. He wrote: '...there are calls in Britain at the moment for all offensive humour to be banned. But what people don't realise is that without offence, there can be no jokes.' Despite earlier apologising for the show's 'feckless' comments, the loud mouth host then ended the column with his own joke about Mexicans: 'Mexico doesn't have an Olympic team... because anyone who can run, jump or swim is already across the border.' He added that 'at one point on Wednesday we were receiving 200 complaints from Mexico every minute' |
