Mostly Harmless with Clarkson

Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson is back in the news after his spoof Volkswagen Scirocco ad touched a raw nerve among the “politically correct” crowd. Ok. The ad DOES draw on WWII memories with German tanks overrunning Warsaw… but please… a joke’s a joke… some people really need to get a life!

    You’ll have to count me in with the “politically correct” crowd “lacking a life” on this one.

    It was a stupid, insensitive ad. Just what you would expect from an asshole like Clarkson.

    One of the funniest things i’ve seen in ages! When did the world have a sense of humor failure?

    For Clarkson’s other greats see: http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/tv_and_radio/article6738921.ece

    A joke is a joke, but in this case it’s also quite insensitive.

    Ludendo castigat mores. So we cannot help but reiterate that we love the joke. Here’s a scoop on an all new J’accuse joke that I dreamt up (literally: in my dreams):

    My friend told me that he was worried that he had some form of gigantism… so I told him to go see a shrink.

    Am I funny or what?

    Arising frm your pun, someone posted this on Il-Pjazza. I thought thisd was quite good:

    Assessment on Health Care Reforms:

    The Allergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves.

    The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it but The Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.

    The Obstetricians felt they were all laboring under a misconception.

    Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted.

    Pathologists yelled, “Over my dead body!” while the Pediatricians said ,’Oh, Grow up!’

    The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the Radiologists could see right through it.

    Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing.

    The Internists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, the Plastic Surgeons said, “This puts a whole new face on the matter.”

    The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea.

    The Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas and the Cardiologists didn’t have the heart to say no.

    In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the assholes in Parliament.Washington .
