    Default Politics and Top Gear cross swords

    Top Gear may have to hire female, ethnic presenters | The Courier-Mail

    What a joke...

    So to make the show fair to all the both sex's and keep the policital idiots happy, a presenter will be selected and added based mainly on their gender.

    Isn't that sexist?

    **** that. one of the good things about the show is the way the hosts work so well together. to have another host forced onto them will just make me lose interest

    Yeah its a downright joke, this is degrading women as far as im concerned. I hope that Oprah will soon have a male host and all the other feminazi shithouse shows have male hosts.

    Top Gear has got to where it is because of how well the current hosts mesh. That said, maybe Sabina could be added as a female host, she seems to get along well with them.

    Anyway, whats next? A gay host to satisfy gays, a black host to satisfy blacks and a muslim host to satisfy musi's? Seriously where will it end.

    sabina already does a german motor show so that wont happen.

    I think the producer had it right with what he said, just utter political dribble

    POPULAR boy-racer TV show Top Gear
    Here we go again, anything involving a car not being driven 100% in line with the Politically correct bullsh*t gets labeled as "boy racer" good on ya Courier Mail.

    Back to topic, thats utter crap. If they start giving into the pc garbage now, the show wont last long, first a female presenter, then less risky stunts, and only cars under 100,000k on the show! Not to mention no "loss of traction"

    So if Top Gear need a female host does that mean The View needs a male host? Or hows about we go even further and even it out.. add a male host to The View and also add a female host who ISN'T fat, ugly or old...

    What a stupid idea. The main reason Top Gear has gotten to be as successful as it is is because unlike most other shows, they don't worry about any of the PC bullshit. If this does happen, it'll be the first nail in the coffin for an otherwise fine show, by far one of the best shows on TV.

    Ah, just read the article. It's the original Top Gear, in the UK. This sort of thing is typical of over there now, with the Loony Left having the sway it does.

    Talking Voluptuos Stig

    I don't think that they will mess with the chemistry they have now, the BBC is not that stupid.

    However, your suggestions about a female Stig may in fact may be a probable outcome. Remember that since the end of the last season the identity of white Stig has been revealed. Last time The (black) Stig was outed to the public he was immediately relieved of duty.

    I am not sure how politically correct the racing suit will be however. You know what Jeremy is like, he loves to pick a fight with the govt.

    All you really need to know is...
    He's called The Stig!

    as far as i know, they wouldnt confirm who the white stig was, even after someone claimed it recently. i guess they dont want to go to the trouble of changing the colour, as anything but black and white would look a bit odd i reckon

    Pink Stig! lol jk
    agree with everyone, utter crap that the world is reduced to conforming to everyone's whinging. I'm not racist, but do you see me crying because they haven't put a white guy in with the Pussycat Dolls?
    Simple, if you can't relate to it for whatever reason, don't watch it.

    What a load of crap. I don't see why they'd even bother hiring a female. They havn't done anything wrong.

    If they advertised a position and didn't chose a female based on her gender, thats a different story.
