Hard News: How long the leash on the…, in reply to Rich of Observationz,
Historical ignorance and distortion on a large scale.
You're expecting historical accuracy from a three-panel comic? And from my two-line response on an internet forum?
Has some sort of subtle humour in your post just gone over my head?
Communism: when you want it done right first time.
That bit was also a joke. Y'know, just for the record. I'm not actually advocating Communism.

I guess you do have an interesting point
I think there's two different points:
1) that more or less anything can be funny if handled well enough. And enough time has passed.
2) That Clarkeson, Henry et al are all enormous attention-seeking twatcocks who are enabled by significant chunks of the population, but who shouldn't be enabled by organisations who should be held to a higher standard.

Time for Space Launch System from XKCD, http://xkcd.com/
"That's a terrible lesson."
Probably enough to note that the ones the dirty filthy commie Russkis built with the 'help' of their captured Nazi scientists didn't blow up.

I don’t really find mock Nazi salutes and gags about the invasion of Poland terribly amusing. I’m dour and politically correct like that
Well, as Spinal Tap said, it's a fine line between clever and stupid. There are plenty of actually funny comedians* who have inadvertently found themselves the wrong side of it.
Contrast Ricky Gervais mocking the disabled whilst in character as David Brent, and his recent twitter mongface remarks.
ETA: and 'if we want something more relevant to the Nazis: how about Mel Brooks and 'The Producers'. Plenty of Nazi salutes and Poland jokes in that.
Fridays: still all bout the music
*Clarkeson excluded from this set, obviously.

I am suspicious of his enablers
Are those the ones that hang out of his shorts when he's on the trike?

Charlie Brooker tweets:
The funniest thing about that was his responses to a couple of hilariously unself-aware meatheads who were desperately shouting 'goditsjustajokecantyouallcalmdown' to anyone and everyone.
"I know it was a joke, you spectacular fucking idiot."
"No, tell you what: fuck you twice instead."
Although this is probably the best advice:
"Can everyone get annoyed about something other than Jeremy Clarkson today? I'd rather we waved our fist at wasps, tbh."

Clarkson permanently locked into a Circle line carriage
Piccadilly line is usually worse.

Cameron shows such a startling lack of judgement in choosing friends and colleagues that I just can't wait to see who he appoints as his special new adviser on getting us laydees to vote for him again.
You're getting a bit het up about this, Tamsin. Calm down dear.

"Complaining about Clarkson expressing an offensive view is like complaining that the wheels just fell off your clown taxi" - Tweet from Ben Goldacre

For me it's like surfers complaining about crowds. If you are in the water surfing, you are the crowd.
And if you're buying the papers and watching the TV, then don't complain about the content?
