Top Gear UK team chased out of Argentina after filming 2014 Christmas Special

***Some spoiler alert if you haven't watched the special yet***

BBC News - BBC refuses to make Top Gear apology over Argentina row

Jeremy Clarkson 'wants to recover' smashed up Porsche he had to abandon while fleeing Argentina - Mirror Online

Scary stuff.

3rd world ****hole of a country, how is anyone surprised this happened?

I saw the episode, how they didn't just run down the "protesters" in "self defense" I don't know. I would have without remorse, throw rocks at me *speedbump time*

Joking (intentional or not) about the Falkland Wars to the Argentinians is probably the same as someone joking about 9/11. Third world or not, reaction would probably be just the same, if not as brutal. No sense of humor, sure, but some lines just shouldn't be cross I guess :notsure:
