Dey broke da law and should be sharing a cell with Bubba! That's gotta hurt.

I knew this would happen as I watched it..... don't see the problem myself.

dxb335d · 10-17-2007, 05:00 AM

when i watched it, didnt even enter my mind about the smoking ban, i dont even smoke either

When I saw it I wondered how long it would be before the mamby-pamby nothing-better-to-do w@nker$ would be complaining!
God - these people must lead a very boring life!!!!!!

ill host it with you! i have lots of model cars we can 'carpet test' including a veyron

!Xoible · 10-17-2007, 10:08 AM

oh man! so ANAL dude.. so what if they smoked?
i didnt know england didnt have any freedom like that. George Bush should add england on the list of countries to free (aka invade) to spread democracy there and allow people to smoke if they wanted to.

edit: im being sarcastic, in case you missed that part

To be fair it was illegal and a bit of an error on the part of the producers.

I don't think anyone is going to take it further though and I think anyone calling for an apology just makes themselves look stupid.

dxb335d · 10-17-2007, 11:57 AM

i think all of us should light a smoke for Top gear, even if you aint a smoker like me, we should do it

FOR TG!!!!

Hmm...

Wonder if they'd be in trouble if they 'smoked' the tyres too?

Quote:

"There were no complaints from members of the audience present during the filming."

She wouldn't comment on whether or not what took place was illegal.

But Amanda Sandford, spokeswoman for Action on Smoking on Health (Ash), said: "Smoking in a studio is illegal. Anything that causes smoke is prohibited.

Certainly promise to do that in that MPH stageshow thing Clarkson and co do!

Absolute zeroes. Seriously, do they have anything else to do at all?
