Boy, who can you make fun of anymore?

I personally like the South Park model. Everything is fair game, because the moment you make something "safe", that's when what you did to everyone else becomes offensive and hurtful.

I wonder if this same Mexican politician is going to write a letter about Beverly Hill Chihuahua 2 (Coming soon!)

That's no longer the case. Muslims are now considered "safe". Shame really.

I dunno. Racial slurs roll off me like rain on a freshly waxed car. This is a bit different though. I can see how this would piss off some people. I'm Mexican and I don't even speak Spanish! I'm all for jokes but I think this went a tad too far.

I saw the episode, was freaking hilarious what they were saying.

In the Top Gear segment on 60 minutes, Jeremy said TG was something like $200million/year business, the largest part of the BBC... so they basically get to say whatever the eff they want.

Mr. Ambassador, at least they didn't joke about your crime ridden, drug infested, politically corrupt country.

F*** em. It's all funny until someone makes a joke about your race/country. Grow some thicker skin and deal with it. I am sure that his "stereotypical comment" is based on some for of truth.
