Top Gear offends Mexico
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011...can-ambassador
Ambassador Eduardo Medina-Mora Icaza has demanded an apology after Richard Hammond jokingly described Mexicans as "lazy, feckless, flatulent [and] overweight" during an episode of the BBC2 show screened on Sunday.
His co-presenters Jeremy Clarkson and James May went on to describe Mexican food as "refried sick".

They make fun of every country and culture, including their own. If you don't appreciate that kind of humour, watch something else, perhaps one of those mexican shows where a guy dressed as a bumble bee hurts himself constantly.

^ if you are familiar with bit torrent u can get the files from www.isohunt.com once they go up. if you are a member at racing underground they get them very quickly.
otherwise i'm sure if u give someone at the GTG a harddrive they can put the last few seasons on there for you. I'm not in town otherwise i'd give you my collection.
