It seemed that it’s hard not to make it through a week without hearing about how the three amigos of Top Gear UK tickling someone’s uncool bone. This week, yet again the three stooges are in the papers of UK. But this time, it’s not something to do with the Mexican, but people nearer to them, and it’s dead serious, that James May, Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond have begun receiving death threats.

Now what is this all about? The hilarious yet insensitive BBC program hosts reportedly remarked that fast cars should be test-driven on Welsh roads because no one wants to live there. That latest bit of bashing was apparently the last straw. The trio has taken turns giving the Welsh a hard time in the past, with May calling their language “baffling and dangerous” among other offenses.

The death threats are only the latest in a series of cultural mishaps that have befallen the show. Just the end of December, Top Gear riled Muslims by donning the traditional headwear of women, and it irked Christians by portraying a baby Stig in the traditional role of the newborn Jesus. Most recently, the show invoked the ire of the Mexican ambassador to the UK by unleashing a rash of stereotypes about his countrymen.

Apparently everyone takes Top Gear too seriously.
