Ive just been watching this on the news, the rhyme as know it is :

eeny meany niney mo
catch the baby on the po
when its done wipe its bum
with a piece of chewing gum......


sooooo how the N word got in the rhyme I dont know :-S

Quite right. A load of old baloney.

Jeremy Clarkson is in big trouble...again!
But did "that word wot he said" actually get broadcast on the show a few years ago or has it recently reared its head out of the archives as an 'out-take' that was never broadcast?

Ok, looking at it in simple terms....

1. IF what J Clarkson said was broadcast.
Such a HUGE furore over the word because it is racist and offensive, apparently. And yet, how often do I hear the F word (and worse) in an assortment of other programmes on telly, but that apparently is not offensive. Hmmmm. I beg to differ. There's a certain chef who is allowed to F and blind constantly throughout his programmes week in, week out. As I say, I'm no prude but I don't want to hear it said 20+ times in the course of a 30 minute programme. Used so often it seems to give licence for every Tom Dick and Harry to consider it acceptable now.
So who is it at the 'Bad word Police HQ' who decides what is and what isn't allowed/acceptable? Cos I think they're kind of lopsided in their views.

2. IF what J Clarkson said was not broadcast.
Then all the fuss is a load of old baloney!!
