@Anglophile Idiots

‘An idiot wrote it’… I would have thought it would be easy to argue against if that were the case. You might not agree with what I’ve said, but at least I’ve been backing it up. Same with the author of that article. On the other hand, you haven’t really been backing up your views with anything other than insults, so I reckon people will be able to make up their own minds from that. Either way, I’ve no interest in getting into a slanging match.

@bob
I’m not sure what you were trying to get across when you said ‘Iraq exports less than Kuwait’, so I’m not sure if you wanted a reply to that or not. As for how a war would be illegal, that’s maybe a little too in-depth for a comment on a blog, but there’s a good article at http://www.informationcle aringhouse.info/article69 17.htm which gives an overview of the arguments. You can search for some of the organisations etc mentioned for more information (there’s not that many links in the article).

Anyway, I’m dropping out of here now. I didn’t come to start an argument, just counter some of the more obviously false information that had been put up earlier.

I am an American and I love the UK Top Gear….the US Top Gear is an insult to you guys.

Another real fun packed program. what a shame you had to end it with a scene which mocked the birth of Christ. I now have to boycott my all time favourite programme of many many years, by way of protest. You really should not have put the crib scene in. At least there wont be a Fatwa against you though eh? but you may have lost more viewers than you think, and certainly the respect of all who hold to the christian faith.

Love the show in general, and this episode had all the makings of another Top Gear Classic. However, I couldn’t get past the idea that you were in a part of the world that just isn’t all that funny. I mean, I know Americans can’t laugh at themselves either, but at least they sometimes won’t shoot at you when you laugh at them.

Bucketloads of fun, as usual. Specially loved Old Testament Rallying.

In any case, a shame that, for political reasons the real causes for the Iraq war are not mentioned, and specially, that for political reasons, the show wasn’t actually filmed in Bethlehem, a Palestinian town in the West Bank.

Not to put a shame on the show, Israelies are not the most fun-prone people and either the most inviting to deal with in border crossings, but a shame that we don’t get to see Palestinian lands in any case.

Kudoz TG for years of fun.

I thought it was brilliant…a great way to “give birth” to a new Stig…absolutely loved it…

you can’t please all the people all the time. great show. great LIGHTHEARTED fun.

well some say you lost a lot of views with baby jesus stig but i think you will gain better ones in the long run

Hammond, short hair looks better.

Paying bills is awful and expensive IF you pay your license fee. Top Gear is possibly the only programme produced by the BBC which aids me in escaping the surly bonds of normality for an hour on a Sunday night (before working to pay for my license). Cut the politics you jumped up imbociles and see the programme for what it really is.

“…you jumped up imbociles”

My irony meter has just gone haywire..

funny thing about playing fast and loose with a religion- you either gotta believe so strongly that no amount of silliness even the stuff you create yourself moves you from your faith, or you are so far removed from believing anything that you don’t care much what happens or how others feel about it. Not sure where Top Gear or any form of entertainment comes down on this but i know this much: this was a parody, and those are rarely kind. Maybe what they should have done was just stick to cars: see if they could follow the road without bringing a mock-creation of the nativity into it. I’m all for tolerance, but do you want to be controversial or entertaining?

And here’s a question: did Jezza have a red g-string, suspenders and stockings on under his burqa?

Woah this weblog is great i like studying your posts. Stay up the great work! You understand, many individuals are searching round for this information, you could help them greatly.
