Let’s hand New Zealand an ultimatum: Either they let us base American nuclear-powered ships there, or they take Piers Morgan. Either way, we win

Just drop him by parachute.

New Zealand disbanded their "air combat wing" some years ago.

"Morgan admits he was hit three times, ‘two to the right temple and one to the forehead’ and was left with a scar above his eyebrow."

I'd like to see a video of that.

The British version is hilarious. They’ve clearly got a huge budget and get away with things that would put the American crew into eco prison for life. Its a pretty conservative greenie bashing show where they incorporate guns whenever possible.

Clarkson insults everybody kind of like a British Don Rickles but was truly in awe of Jay Leno’s car collection.

Piers Morgan feud

From 2000 to 2006, Clarkson had a public feud with Piers Morgan, which began when Morgan published pictures of Clarkson kissing his BBC producer, Elaine Bedell.

On the final Concorde flight, Clarkson threw a glass of water over Morgan during an argument. In March 2004 at the British Press Awards, he swore at Morgan and punched him before being restrained by security; Morgan says it has left him with a scar above his left eyebrow. In 2006 Morgan revealed that the feud was over, saying "There should always be a moment when you finally down cudgels, kiss and make up." Clarkson also mentioned that despite not getting on with Morgan, he can at least be in the same room as him.

Top Gear UK is our family’s favorite show.

I watched about 5 minutes of the U.S. version; changed channels, never watched it again. It’s rubbish.

I say we cut our friends in the "British Resistance" a break and deport morgan to the Falkland Islands instead. It's a two-fer, they don't have to deal with him directly and the Argentinians can decide if they really want the islands with him as part of the deal.

OTOH, could the Argies even afford enough gas to power a dingy there?!?

You’re thinking of a multiple trade thing. Ship Morgan and Moore off to the Falklands. They can give up the islands and we’ll send a carrier group to help keep Morgan and Moore on the islands.

NO. That's actually the selling point of the UK version.

US version: Not Even Rubbish.

Excuse me if I am wrong, but isn’t Piers Morgan wanted in Britain for wire-tapping?
Perhaps he could find asylum in Cuba or Venezuela.

I’ll second that! That show is in a Class all by itself. The Crossing the Kalahari Desert in Clunkers episode, The Three Wise Men, Vietnam, The Bolivian Rainforest, The Cars of the Cold War episode, the Race to the Magnetic North Pole, and all of those other crazy “Races” are simply Masterpieces, imo.

Their “Journey to Bethlehem” episode was a scream. Even my wife was laughing.

I think you are being a bit thin-skinned. Jeremy Clarkson has a go at many people and things - he regularly insults the french, the germans, the australians, vauxhall, environuts, the UK government and many other targets.

Look Jeremy, if we have to keep Piers, than at least be a sport and take Michael Moore.... and we'll call it even.

I think you have to trade in the same weightclass. To unload Moore, we'd have to take back Madonna too.
