I do not know how many people here have watched in some form or another the antics of the English versions of Moe, Larry and Curly aka the top gear UK presenters Jeremy Clarkson, James "Captain Slow" May and Richard "Hamster" Hammond.
The almost death of one of it's presenters did not end the show, the obvious previous controversies did not end the show (the gay incident, the Germany incident, the Romania incident, the Mexican incident, the racial comments of Clarkson incidents, the Argentina incident, the anti-Bush incident, the Alabama incident).
It was one man who in fact was the reason Jeremy Clarkson (who added numerous other incidents to his portfolio) was sacked. That accidental "stumbling block" for the Top Gear presenter was producer Oisin Tymon (who like the really adult and morally upstanding viewership of Top Gear in the UK is being horrendously attacked online for his part in the sacking of their hero Clarkson).
And why is he the man who stopped/ended Top Gear UK is because Clarkson decided he was allowed to verbally abuse that particular producer of the show, interrupting his verbal abuse for him and other Top Gear staff just long enough to strike mr. Tymon in the face (resulting in swelling and a bleeding lip). That is of course the "crime" that allows all those top gear watchers in the UK (most likely the same idiots who loved a good football hooligan fight, you know, cro-magnon man/neanderthal man) to attack him online (twitter, facebook). Some people even wish serious pain and death on mr. Tymon, really how idiotic can people be.
But this opens op a bigger issue, are companies too politically correct? Is the government too politically correct?
Gives up your thoughts on this important issue.
