I have an idea, what about easily offended stickers? they could be round and purple and you put them on your shirt and then at least people know not to say the slightest thing around them. Then when there's a comedy gig on they could turn away the purple badges and say "sorry, I don't think this is for you".”

People get offended by to much nowadays, just grow a pair and say something back if you don`t like it, no need to act all insulted every time.
kids used to grow up falling of bikes, fighting with each other etc but now when that happens everyone gets all protective and moan at the parents for letting it happen. They are kids they are suppose to fight or fall over as they grow up.
This subject is just the same. years ago nobody would even mention it, it was a joke someone would have a come back joke and that`s it. nobody would even remember it 5 minutes later.
But in today`s world people get offended of everything so i guess the reactions to this are what we expected.”

So basically, someone got offended, picked this up and a few other folk have got offended as well.
It's hardly worth bothering about surely? It was simply a joke. People need to stop being so offended all the time. The human race is turning into a bunch of bloody wooses.”

The problem here is people like you who carry on about how everything is homophobic and offensive, Sure we have to have a line, but you are taking this too far now.

you sound like a little baby. Why get offended from it. If you don`t like it just make a "joke" in response, no need to go around crying saying it was insulting.
If i`m fat someone can make a joke about it, if i`m skinny someone can make a joke about it. I won`t start crying saying i got offended. Even if i didn`t like it I would just reply with a come back. No need to get so angry over a joke.
A bald guy always gets made fun of about his baldness or a fat/skinny guy gets made fun of, do you see them coming out and crying all the time saying they feel insulted. They just make a joke back. End of story and everyone forgets about it all in 5 minutes.
Plus most jokes are always going to be insulting someone anyway. I mean half the jokes on US comedy shows are aimed at the US president or people that voted for him (republican or democrats). Well that`s insulting to him and his voters but people just laugh and get on with it.
At football you insult your opposition but you just get on with it. Nobody goes crying home like a baby saying "i feel insulted".

Bit in bold - that shows a shocking lack of understanding of the damage that this type of 'joke' can do.
why is he still working, he showed he can't drive when he nearly killed himself, that was the funniest thing he has ever done on that show ?

Consider this - we're fortunate to live in the part of the western world where the media has educated us in the past few decades to accept many things that other parts of the world consider "not normal". Go back to the 60s or before, and things were very different. Our TV has bombarded us with "There's nothing wrong with this", and rightly so. This hasn't happened in other parts of the world.
Travel as widely as Clarkson, Hammond and May and you'll come into contact with lots of other cultures that haven't progressed as far as we have. Add to this their considerable contact with 'macho' man who live on engine oil and racing, and it's not surprising if Hammond may have a slightly wider view, more global, viewpoint on all sorts of aspects of humanity that differ all over the world, and where we may actually be in a minority in the enlightened West.
Can't remember the last time I saw an action hero in a movie, or a bunch of soldiers, eating a sweet cold treat on a hot day. It's not a typically 'macho' thing to do, is it really? The stereotypical macho man has no time for such pleasures - too busy being an alpha male
That's all I'm saying. I shall quite happily continue to enjoy a Magnum in public because I don't agree with Hammond, and couldn't care less, but I can understand the line of thinking that led to his joke.

So how do you make a joke back when the idiot is on TV? Or they're the loudmouth in the pub surrounded by their fellow banterers?
It's funny how the ones who seem to get most upset are the ones who feel their right to offend without any come-back is being challenged.
And stop stereotyping babies. Babies are cool!

For such a widely travelled bunch they seem to learn nothing from other cultures and societies - I doubt they even mix among the general populous much. Their minds seem never to have broadened, they seem mostly to sneer at other countries and their cultures and have been told off for doing so. They aren't travelling to broaden their minds, it certainly hasn't broadened theirs.
Puerile remarks but, as usual, some of the outrage seems a bit faux.
Also I note the predictable casual heightism in some of the criticism of him. 🙄

That's a bit below the belt.
From what i remember a tyre burst and one of the parachutes on the car failed.
Tbh whilst it wasn't particularly funny the 'point' of the thing was the other two laughing at him and taking the piss out of his stupid (although obviously scripted) views. That seems to have been somehow lost in people's outrage and I'm not sure why.
It makes me chuckle, I get the feeling that the bods who hated top gear and campaigned for years to axe it, felt a hole in their life so bought amerzon to watch it and then campaign against it and get it axed.
But hey I do that with most shows, Im a DSer
Its also important to note that the show is heavily scripted and as always the coves rely on bad publicity from the press and social media to proper gate the foot print of their shows

Hammond is entitled to his viewpoint. It isn't that controversial, men eating ice cream was pretty much unheard of until the 80s, it was for children, with certain pre-packaged ice cream (Cornetto for instance) being marketed towards women.

Better tell that to my expired Dad, who had ice-cream with us every Sunday when we were kids!Men eating ice-cream was never a 'thing' as people just ate ice-cream
In the 80's advertising really went up a notch and, as with most things, they aimed it at the best market to sell their items. Cars at men, chocolate at women. It didn't mean women didn't drive or men eat chocolate.
If it's not all over the media it doesn't mean it's not happening.
