If you thought you'd make it through the week without hearing how the smart hosts of Top Gear ruffled feathers someone, think again. After WhatsOnTv, James May, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond have received death threats started after derogatory comments about Wales in a recent program. The BBC's hosts allegedly noticed that should fast cars test-driven on Welsh roads because no one wants to live there.
The latest piece bashing was apparently the last straw. The trio has turned the Welsh give a hard time in the past, with May calling their language "confusing and dangerous," among other offenses.
The death threats are just the latest in a series of cultural breakdown that happened to the show. Last year Top Gear angered Muslims by tightening the traditional head covering for women, and Christians angered by the appearance of a baby Stig in the traditional role of the newborn Jesus. Last invoked the wrath of the display of the Mexican ambassador to Great Britain by unleashing a rash of stereotypes about his countrymen.
