I make a point never to watch these crapulent "reality" TV shows. However, one of my favourite TV presenters, Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear, has also been indulging in apparently Jade-like behaviour, by referring to her as a "racist, pig-faced waste of skin and organs".

It got a laugh, as did his comment a few seconds later when regretting that bad weather had spoiled their filming schedule, that "We'll do what everyone else does - blame global warming".

Perhaps Jeremy is also going a bit OTT, even for someone with my crude sense of humour.

Jeremy makes Jade look talented.

If theres anything I hate more than his ignorant anti John Prescott jibes, its his facetious drivelling journalism.

He should advertise himself as an eco-friendly laxative. I'm sure he could bore the shit out of anybody with an IQ in double figures.

Clarkson is an odd fish. Ostensibly, I should hate him. He stands for everything that makes me cross, and his political views are positively Neanderthal, and yet I think he is consistently one of the most watchable people on British television. The bugger.

Again, i find myself in complete agreement with you Captain...& as I type this, I'm watching him present 'Have I Got Old News for You'.

Jeremy Clarkson does have a bit of a problem when someone comes near to upstaging him though...he is a 'put down' artist...He reckons he is better than all the rest.

Does driving all those fast cars make him a racist?

A term that may as well refer to this - as the casual use of this accusation has now made its use practically worthless.

Is this racism?

I guess there are some strange ideas about what racism is and they are not balanced in any way...eg...If in the UK you call a pakistani a 'paki'...it is racist. Why then is it not racist when the yanks call the brits 'brits' and the brits call the yanks 'yanks'?
