Clarkson rapped for “ginger beer” rhyming slang Oh! Please! What is the world coming to? Are these ‘Ofcom’ people just a little bit bored perhaps? What’s wrong with being different anyway? I always like to think of myself as a little queer. It’s the differentist in me!
Just one more reason why the UK is going to hell in a handcart.
Too much of the nanny state.
A whole 5 people complained? These must be the same 5 that have nothing better to do than watch programs with the intention of getting offended.
Did you SEE the car? Talk about teh ghey on wheels. Goddamn PC stick-up-their-arse Brits. Tossers.
Some people watch TV wanting to be offended. What did you expect from the man who said he ran over a fox, on purpose ?
The world is so small. I love t that you guys have heard about this.
Did you hear Tarrant got done for lobbing cutlery!?
A spoon originally, then it got changed to a table knife, apparently.
He was laughing about it on ‘Have I got news for you,’ and said he has no idea what he chucked!
I’m tired of Merton.
Who’s got a photo of the car?
How queer can it be?
Is it worse than a pink Hello Kitty Nissan Machee?
That said, it’s about time the words ‘queer’ and ‘gay’ were taken back from their obvious homosexual appropriations.
I take it back. Describing this monstrosity as teh ghey is an insult to the taste and sophistication of my gay friends. I apologize wholeheartedly.
That is a flaming snotgreen poofish kinda car.
Your comment is homophobic and shows you have no understanding of the nature of the offense for which Clarkson was (rightly) lambasted.

That’s right!
Bollocks.
Read your OED:
poof (and hence poofish) :
int. expressing contemptuous rejection , or announcing a sudden disappearance. [imitative]
Why is it that the English themselves have to be constantly reminded of the nuance of their own mother tongue?

My letter to Top Gear:
“We ex-pats in Taiwan can’t believe how nannying the United States of Britain has become since we left, as now it seems you lot can’t even practice the British traditional art of Cockney rhyming slang without being reprimanded because it may hurt the feelings of five members of the public. We think that either Jeremy Clarkson should be given a proper public caning Singapore style and be dealt with properly, or Ofcom should simply shut up. In fact we have heard no complaints from the male homosexual community in Taiwan about Jeremy’s comments regarding queer people, but then again they were all enlightened enough to leave Britain in the first place and drive proper cars without airbags that go “POOF” as soon as one gets slammed against a wall.”
Sorry if I included you in “We ex-pats…” and you don’t feel included. That’s entertainment! that’s entertainmeeeeeeent!
Wait a minute… the Copen may not be the manliest of cars… but if you’re after a mini-car of the Copen/March likes… then the Copen is definately the top pick…
wait a minute… we are talking about the same car here right?..
Daihatsu - Copen 1280cc
I’m with Clarckson I’m afraid, that thing belongs in the “queer ride for the straight guy” section of autotrader IMO…
Yeah, someone who buys a March is saying “I don’t much care about looks or performance. I want a small economical car that’s easy to park.”
Someone who buys a Mini is saying: “I want a small car that’s stylish and sleek but I’ve some disposable income and I’m prepared to pay the price for something with a bit of cachet.”
The person who buys that Copen is saying: “I was dropped on my head as a baby. Please be gentle with me.”
Nobody bigger than about 5’3" can actually fit into a Copen anyway, so who really cares?
What’s all the fuss about? Some gay friends of mine just love being told that they are such queens. I bet the one person who got offended five times was actually a small straight man who suddenly realised that he was gay after he bought one…
It certainly is a very Noddy car. and very gay. and very happy.
“Hey Big Ears, why don’t you come over here?” “Sorry, Noddy, I’ve just come over here.”
