The safest bet I've found is to try to offend everyone.

Not advisable......we'll not everyone but get it.

Best to watch all 4 parts to get the message

It's a sign of he times and I'm not trying to upset or offend anyone here but there is a reason why we aren't allowed to call them "piggy banks" anymore. Pretty much how the offensive N word used to be allowed.

Btw, it's now "a young persons savers account"

[Bowie69]

Good job he didn't say that then.

The former chairman of the BBC seems to have a bit of sense at least in this matter:-

"He shouldn't be sacked. I tell you who should be sacked, and that's the person who released the clip to the Daily Mirror in order to give the whole thing a wider circulation than it deserved. It's a word that wasn't broadcast. He's apologised and, really, that should be the end of the matter. Do you think he's a racist? I suspect not."

I was going to say shock horror somebody in the BBC actually has some common sense, then noticed it said "former chairman"

Besides, since when did anybody give a **** what the daily mail says, i mean seriously does anybody actually read that rag? Its like the old saying, "If a bear shits in the woods..."

What's wrong with piggy bank? I just thought it was a money container in the shape of a pig?

Quite ironic that the BBC should give Clarkson a final warning. Fiscally, it was probably the complete reverse, with the BBC bricking it at the thought of losing Top Gear. The BBC is short of global high rent programmes and JC's caustic, self mocking, luddite and un 'pc' delivery is an international winner. Whilst we in the UK shudder in the fear of 'litigation for in-appropriateness', the rest of the world generally cracks on with just enjoying the show.

I still like JC but wtf are you all going about its a sign of the times. The N word is not a noun that should be thrown around in 2014 so easily. Where have we come since colonialism and the modern age should reflect a bit more tact. In the media you owe a certain amount of responsibility in what you say and do. Be realistic. The backlash is relevant.

clearly a man who is not employed in the public sector!!

[UrS4boy]

I am mostly all for being politically correct but in this case

a) he really didn't say the word out loud and

b) more importantly, the scene in question was cut and was never to be seen by the public. It's the person who brought the clip to youtube and then flagged it to the press who should be getting stick.

We all say things that aren't for public consumption. How would you (as in anybody reading this thread) feel if somebody video'd you saying something non-pc as a joke or out of context and then posted it up to Youtube for the world to see? You wouldn't be happy because it wouldn't represent the real you but you would have a terrible time defending it and/or ducking comments. This is a form of cyberbullying.

Has youtube and the secret video people not become the Orwellian BIG BROTHER of 2014 (30 years late)? Never say or think anything wrongspeak or you will be deadspeaked.
