This is just getting stupid! too many butthurt people who just want publicity in something that doesn't involve them. By this logic, there's a whole list of shows that should be removed. This better not happen, or I give up on America FOREVER. It's not like he can just snap his finger and it'll happen, but really...I don't even..

I would imagine blocking an entire tv program is impossible. Look at duck dynasty and its association with racism. Watch any given 10 seconds of Uncle Ruckus on Boondocks.

If they can't even deport a law-breaking Canadian, I'm pretty sure Top Gear is safe.

In other news, Chris Rock, Samuel Jackson, and Jay-Z received as honored guests at the White House....
(In case it isn't obvious: I named them because their proclivity to use certain magical words of the english language, not because I have a problem with their race and heritage)

Duck Dynasty and the Boondocks: two shows that I would have listed had I not been lazy. They're probably the two best examples that come to mind.

I'm off to Europe if that happens.

if this fucking piece of shit blocks one of the best TV shows in the known universe, I hope theres finally a revolt. He has no problem with al sharpton or jesse jackson race baiting like hell, but god forbid a white man is accused of something racist.
Seriously I'm about ready to pack it up and move to new zealand, our country is a piece of shit compared to what it once was
VIVA LA TOP GEAR!

Culturally, the nimrod may have never heard of the Tiger substitution*, and it existed talis qualis , 'as it is'. There's some Latin, makes it all legal-like.
*Example: Scottish-born comedian Craig Ferguson does not know how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll pop. He never saw the ad.
Language is a land mine.

pick the right place or you'll end up with stricter laws than the US. If I had to move to europe i'd probably look into germany, but new zealand is the top of my relocation list right now. my job field is in high demand over there.

Obama likes to think of himself as this era's MLK. But he's wrong. Clarkson was merely repeating an old rhyme and he didn't shout it out in anger at someone. Clarkson can be grating on the nerves at times, but that's his shtick. He mocks everyone else's negative stereotypes while being a negative stereotype himself.

First of all SETTLE DOWN AND READ!!!! A group of nutjobs is circulating a petition to get the President to do this. NEVER GUNNA HAPPEN. The President has made no comment on this, nor will he. This BULLSHIT headline should read "Obama was Asked by Nutjobs to Block a TV Show" HEADLINES are misleading and meant to dupe sheep unwilling to look past them.

I read the article, I simply quoted the headline for the title of this post.

Seriously, what's with all this fucking outrage? Are these people serious, or are they just being hyperbolic?
Some douchebag lawfirm in the UK is asking for this. It's legally impossible to block a show in the U.S. because of it's "language" use. Does no one here remember the 1st Amendment? The Government is barred from censoring. We also don't have any hate speech laws in the U.S. like half of the nations in Europe do.

Can you please change the title? Your title makes it seem like President Obama himself has asked for Top Gear to be blocked. In reality it's people asking Obama to block Top Gear.
"A firm of lawyers, Equal Justice, is to write to Obama and the ambassadors of more than 200 countries in which "Top Gear" airs to ask them to consider the evidence, and then decide if the series should continue to be broadcast in their countries, the Guardian has reported."
These are just some people out trying to make a quick buck off of this whole witchhunt.

I'm not going to add anything that anyone else hasn't already said, but here goes...
Clarkson should stop being crucified for this. He is a comedian first and foremost. He is a great journalist, but if no one else, Top Gear is down to about 50% actual journalism. Clarkson has done nothing more than any other comedic artist has done. And I'm not too sure that if somebody else hadn't done the same thing (which I'm not even sure he did) that was younger and of the "hip" generation that they wouldn't have been written off as being "extra edgy" that day.

defending a misunderstanding with actual racism defeats the point.

Not meaning to bust your balls. I appreciate what you did. A quick glance at the headline from the article leads one to believe that the President somehow asked to have the show banned, which is inciting people who hate the President and the government to hate them even more.
Thank you for your edit.

No worries! I understand completely. When I read the headline a second time after reading your first comment, I understood how it could potentially throw people off. It's very misleading at a first glance.
Also, your choice of headline was gold so I had to use it, that and the fact that no one else proposed a funnier alternative. :)

I may be forced, ironically, into caravanning endlessly around Britain with a roof mounted sat for each series. One doesn't need a visa for an extended vacation such as this, right?
Who's with me?

It is our constitutional right to say whatever the hell we feel about that gigantic waste of air piece of dog shit. Obama can eat and choke on a dick regardless of this particular issue. For the record, I voted, but not for the other guy either(and no I'm not a horse shit Tea Party worshiper either). On that note.. everyone in Washington can choke on a big fat one, especially the NSA.
