hahaha blind child

@rockingrugger If you are under 18 you are a child, yes.

Using blindness as a derogatory term is pretty nasty. Especially when you do it in public, on camera, for attention.

[UndeniableOctopus]

What an awful reporter.

The apes part was taken completely out of context!

And 16 years old, is that childhood? He lost his vision playing rugby!

[MrJamespb123]

LOL this was taken way out of context, jeremy said you should see some of the people who comes to our show, we get some real apes so we move all the pretty girls to the front for viewing. That is abit different to saying that all top gear viewers are apes haha

Why apologize? I mean, really, why apologize? Brown really is an idiot

[somename99]

@mancltymagics1 Him having only one eye is a fact, it is also irrelevant to what Clarkson was saying, he is of course entitled to put whatever pathetic jibes he wants in there, but then shouldn't be surprised when people point out, making one about the effects of someone's childhood blindness shows remarkably cowardliness.

"Brown's Scottish, that's a fact.

Brown has one eye, that's a fact."

same with people in a wheelchair, you could say. would it not be racist if you called somebody a black idiot? he is black,that's fact, and idiot being his opinion?
