Richard Hammond under fire after saying men who eat ice cream are "gay"

I already felt those three plonkers were another good reason not to buy items from amazon.
Imagine the money you spent on your Christmas shopping going to the one who thinks it's ok to thump people.
Amazon you've got worker exploitation, violence, dangerous drivers on the road, racism, homophobeia all in one company.

It's not something that should be a big deal but I can see why people are annoyed about it.
I'm annoyed because it's such a small, minor thing to say but he's so stupid that he doesn't get how it can hurt and piss people off. What's really the need in using the word "gay"?
(Straight) people can say "oh nobody can take a joke anymore, gays need to lighten up!" but how about you all just stop using gay as an insult/something to be ashamed of and then there would be no problems?
I don't get it.

More school, more growing up and less being a foolish boy is what we need I feel.

Because "gay" as an insult is used to straight guys basically every day. Imagine how it makes gay guys feel when their sexuality is constantly joked at and made out to be something that we should be ashamed of, or we're made out to be less masculine because of it?
There's hundreds of words you can use to describe something as an insult. You don't need to use the word "gay". It's that simple.

You really would think hammond is a bit young to be coming out with rubbish like this. What does he think that ice cream is white and creamy and so having it in your mouth will make you gay?
I guess he must have to follow a special diet plan to avoid suggestive foods.
Likely won't even let a banana in his house.

bananas are strictly for the missus, and as for runny egg yolks, they bring him out in the shivers

Yeah that is the thing when you hear of somebody like Hammond harbouring these sorts of out dated thoughts about one group of people you just one what other sort of prejudice is living in his brain.

it must be hard work, having to go through life proving that you are not in the least bit gay, designing yourself a totally heterosexual diet is a bit extreme

Why make yourself as bad as the guy who hit you? Violence is not the answer to violence.

Thumping somebody back who has just hit you doesn't make you as bad as them at all. Depends who started it, getting physical.

OK if self-defence, otherwise it's just descending to their level.

Well if my saying he is straight he means he is dull and boring he might be on to something.
The hysterical opinions of those on Twitter and Facebook about utterly trivial matters like this mean about as much to me as something slowly and painfully negotiating it's way out of my digestive tract.
Remember poor Rosetta scientist Dr Matt Taylor (who helped land a probe on a bloody comet) being reduced to tears because he wore an 'offensive' shirt?
FFS.

Oh yes... reduced to tears though? I didn't know that but iirc he apologised, right? Bad enough!
I remember at the time being as baffled as I was pissed that those people were entertained at all. They should have been completely and utterly ignored. Totally blanked.
I don't think I could join Twitter. I worry it might make me feel like a sociopath or I'm dead inside for just not caring as much...

Perhaps you just have a functioning cerebral cortex (a joke for those of you here who are on Twitter).
If I recall correctly it was a tearful apology by the poor sod.
In any case the terminally offended will always find something to whine about - which just does a great disservice to those who have suffered from genuine misogyny, racism or homophobia.
I don't know why (some) people are getting upset? It's what they do, they're out for controversy in one way or another.
It's really not worth getting upset about. I mean that in the nicest way.

Very well said and I agree 100%.
