Turned Out Nice Again Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 One of the former Top Gear numpties is in trouble with the PC police, in a row that his former employer seems understandably keen to publicize. TV presenter Richard Hammond has been criticised after making a joke about eating ice cream being gay. He was responding to a comment made by Jeremy Clarkson on The Grand Tour. Talking to an audience, co-host Clarkson points at a photo of a Volvo's interior and says: "The only problem is that in one of those, you couldn't enjoy a chocolate Magnum ice cream." Richard Hammond replied: "It's all right, I don't eat ice cream. It's something to do with being straight." http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/38442533/richard-hammond-is-criticised-for-gay-ice-cream-joke-on-amazon-show-the-grand-tour Cue a minor tsunami of hurt and outrage across social media and the press. How much further can the bar for "offensive speech" be lowered, I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's right, real men prefer savoury. Swilling ale and eating the pickled eggs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richc Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Chocolate Magnums are really rather popular in certain segments of the gay community. At least in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddog Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Didn't realise ice creams were gay. Every Saturday I visit and Italian ice cream place for a couple of scoops in a cone. I am gradually working my way through their flavours. I wonder if everyone has me down as a raving homo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccc Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I used to like a nice banana split or Knickerbocker glory !! Don't eat much dairy these days but sometimes a wee treat - got myself a hard chocolate coated ice cream from McDonald's last night. Remember back in the day you could buy this hardening sauce by itself and make your own ones at home ? I must be a raging flamer ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybong Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 It's the bbc again - enough said then. Amazon clearly desperate for publicity and will try any old ruse and ploy. So desperate that they'll even involve the holiday stalwart ice cream. Mind you that sort of thing didn't do Cadbury's Flake any harm - or did it.
