Yeah im sure it was a coincidence
>>53613486
Just looked up the license plate number, registered in 1991 on a Porsche.
they drove into a country they had a war with donning a license plate like that? the brits are the apes to be honest
>>53613807
It was a coincidence, Argentinian politicians blame the Falklands war on everything to get votes. Not unlike how in America you just have to say "9/11 was bad." and you can invade who ever you want!
>>53613807
Also fuck them anyway, they were the aggressors.
>The Falklands belong to us because it's so close!
The Falklands were uninhabited when it was discovered and it is way, way outside of Argentine waters, the only reason they want it is because of the suspected oil underneath Antarctica. They wanted the Falklands so they could pressure us to give up our claims in the Antarctic.
>>53613807
Britroaches come thinking we'll take well their """"banter"""" like their cuckchildren and then are surprised when they almost get mobbed.
>>53614198
Germans also failed an invasion on the UK, they don't have a hissy fit when it's mentioned.
>>53614072
No, you literally invaded the islands and kicked out the inhabitants there and implanted your own. You're right that they're used as political propaganda but that doesn't give you the right to spread lies about the occupation of the islands.
>>53611441
maldives son argentinos
>>53614241
>my allies don't call me out on being a cunt
So no one is allowed to do so? Fuck off.
>>53614295
>the islands were uninhabited at the time of their discovery by Europeans.[
>Wikipedia
Whoever we did kick out, they weren't Argentineans. You've never had a claim over the islands until you invaded it.
Go on, why were they occupied then?
>>53614295
Your whole fucking country was made by genocinding inhabitants and putting niggers in their place
>>53614362
>Making fun of people who failed to commit war crimes makes us cunts
M8, what?
>>53614362
>my allies don't call me out on being a cunt
Well we don't say they aren't a cunt. We just don't blame them for all our problems nor connect these problems to our failed invasion of Brittain.
Gott strafe England! Nonethless. Because tradition &c,
>>53614396
And you think it was the British that discovered them? It was the French and then the Spanish occupied them. When we obtained our independence they passed under Argentinian jurisdiction.
>>53614403
Go unclog some toilets, cumstain.
>>53614579
Germans considering Holland their rivals is the true insult tbqh. Notice us senpai!
>>53614595
Nice meme shitskin
>>53614457
>war crimes
???
You speak as if I defended the war.
>>53614595
>And you think it was the British that discovered them?
Yes. Captain John Strong made the first landing 1690.
>It was the French and then the Spanish occupied them.
So? how does that mean you're entitled to the islands?
>>53614701
Because they were Spanish like the rest of our territory.
>>53611538
Shit, nigga, you native Japanese or a weeaboo who moved there?
>>53614812
So was Chile, I don't think you're claiming that belongs to you. Fuck it why not just claim Spain belongs to Argentina?
>>53614579
You got it wrong. No one here blames the UK for our failures. If anything, they blame the US.
>>53614872
Are you stupid? Go look up how Spain divided their colonies in South America, fucking dense faggot.
>>53614960
What about Paraguay ?
>>53614960
>B-but Spain said I could have it!
It wasn't Spain's to give away as both Spain and Britain coexisted on the islands.
>>53614960
>fucking territories change during war
deal with it niggerbro
>>53615037
Bolivia y Uruguay ?
Furthermore in 1690 patagonia wasn't even colonized.
It was just a coincidence that they rode this bike through Vietnam haha they would never do anything like that just for a laugh haha
>>53615037
Paraguay separated from us some decades after the independence but I don't remember the exact year.
>>53615073
[citation needed]
>>53615079
What are you even talking about?
>Argies still mad that their attempt at enslaving white brits failed
holy shit you can't make this up!
>>53615108
Separated because the power of Buenos Aires was not powerful enough to maintain sovereignty on this land.
So what about Malvines that changed hand in 1690, and are dwelled by scotts ?
>>53615209
You don't understand why they are mad at all
>>53615209
Not really.
I'm replying because I'm bored.
Notice how these threads are always made by Brits and their cuckchildren.

Did you see the Vietnamese trying to kill them for it?
>>53611441

Literally a case of "My dad could beat up your dad!" but Britain already won.
>>53615225
And that's good. I just don't understand how it somehow makes it right to occupy territory.
>>53615295
Of course we do, bragging rights are all we got to keep from the British Empire.
Well that and the Falklands.
>>53615332
>british empire
>1980s
>>53615259
Dont forget USA m8
>>53615303
You got me! I'm le butthurt.
>>53615259
1982 was not very long ago at all. Most relatives of the young men who were coerced by their widely unpopular military government into being slaughtered are still around. It's pretty expected they'd perceive it as sort-of gloating by Brits who don't even understand. It's different from other pranks they've done. If Top Gear didn't think it was a bad thing they wouldn't have pretended it was just a coincidence
>>53615323
Because the British colonised it to be what it is today, you can't just help yourself to it.
>Yeah thanks for building infrastructure when we didn't, we'll take that back now
>>53615332
And gibraltar
>>53615351
He wasn't implying there was a British Empire in the 1980s, quite the opposite.
>>53615267
Obviously that's because Argentinians are alpha whites and Vietnamese are beta timid Asians
>>53615372
Americans swear that was staged.
>>53615351
Had the Falklands before the 1980s lad.
>>53615396
Oh yeah, wow the Spaniards are really bad at this.
>>53611441
desu it happens here too. our plates' first 2/3 letters tell you where the car was registered
when i moved from homecity to another, i drove with my dad with his car to move all the stuff.
while the car was parked outside my new building, we heard several times that we better move quickly, because parking here is supposedly "only for locals", all were thinly veiled threats
>>53615386
It was just a coincidence though >>53613953
Anyway, lots of British people died as well and they were the aggressors so if anything they're pretty lucky we just laughed it off and kept buying corned beef.
>>53615492
Why? Do Poles not like each other?
>>53615388
That's fair but as I've stated the interest for the islands is mere propaganda. It's just not okay to openly say you don't care about them because you might hurt some feelings. Hopefully that'll change with this government and they'll finally let it go.
>>53615553
From memory the k/d ratio was way off because the Argentinians were very young and not nearly as well trained as the Brits. And it doesn't really matter about registration date, I believe they saw that numberplate and thought it would be great to use in Argentina.
Also this >>53615653
It was a lost war since the start since we just couldn't beat them.
>>53615411
>Argentina fought for 2 months, 1 week, and five days
>Vietnam fought for 19 years, 5 months, 4 weeks and one day
Yeah sure, Vietnam's the beta one.
>>53615653
The challenge was buying 3 sports cars for a small amount of money, that's pretty standard for Top Gear.
To say they saw the license plate by chance and decided to make an entire 2 hour special based on that one joke is a little far fetched imo.
If it was on a tractor or a mini metro it might have seemed more forced.
>>53615784
If it was H982 MLV instead of H982 FKL it would be clear. I wonder whether the average Argentine actually knows the English name of the islands is the Falklands. Kinda doubt it.
>>53615753
Wasn't Vietnam backed by Russia and China? Plus they must have had great strategists while all we had was some 18yos sent to be slaughtered by a mad general.
>listening to a swedish radio podcast about the falklands war
>las malvinas argentinas start playing
top banter
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKkcTpCur7g
>>53615886
They weren't backed by China, they hate China.
The regular army was backed by Russia, but the guerrillas weren't, and proper Russian backing began well after the independence movement started.
Ho Chi Minh actually informed on some other communists to the French at one point, in order to get money to buy guns and fight the French, that's how broke they were.
Plus, fuckloads of Vietnamese were slaughtered. They just kept going. They had been ruled by Chinese for a thousand years, proxy Chinese for hundreds of years, then the French, the Japs, then the French came back and they had enough. They weren't going to take that foreign shit anymore.
>>53616038
Fair enough. I'm not knowledgeable about the subject.
>>53615907
Did they depict a British soldier trying to throw a grenade at a child? That is literally North Korea tier children's TV.
Argentina s-m-h.
>>53616038
The Chinese were supplying the NVA with weapons. Many Type 56 rifle's were found on dead Vietnamese soldiers. The Sino-Vietnamese war didn't break out until 1979.
>>53615637
polish solidarity is a meme
everyone hates each other here
>>53616289
>The Sino-Vietnamese war didn't break out until 1979.
wut.
Vietnamese have hated Chinese for two thousand years, this isn't a recent thing.
>>53616244
I feel sorry for any compatriot that takes that seriously and believes such thing.
>>53616352
The point is that for the Vetnam war the Chinese and Vietnamese made a bit of an uneasy alliance to further the communist goal. Once the war was won they went back to fighting each other again.
>>53616386
It's for children, so yes they probably believe it.
>>53615870
Even if it were true, it's not as though Argentina can claim the highground about banter in the media. They bring it
A banner to every footbal game, put it on their money, and before the 2012 olympics made an advert where Argentine athletes trained on the islands, including running up and down the steps of the British war memorial.
But no, suddenly making a veild reference to the war in a comedy show is a lynching offence.
>>53616480
I feel sorry for those children. Fuck children indoctrination.
>>53616488
what do you expect from niggers?
>>53616488
Do you believe everything is banter? That's just propaganda pushed by the former government.
>>53616940
So it was intended to cause genuine insult then?
>>53616940
>he doesn't live his life assuming every ones actions are banter
>>53615259
The yanks chimped out the worst
>>53617097
Surely. The former government had a hateboner for the UK. I thought that was clear.
>>53617286
But we don't have a hate boner, if the license plate wasn't a coincidence it was just supposed to be banter.
>>53617371
Heads up for you: being a cunt even if you're trying to be funny is still being a cunt. Don't expect a nice reaction if you come here and mock people about the war. You're gonna get hit even if you mean it as a joke. That's just how it is.
>>53617533
Doesn't happen here tbqh.
>>53617533
Don't be such a nigger, when I was there I had locals joking about it
>>53616480
That was a government cartoon, literally nobody watches that shit, and the K's are gone so this shit is over.
And personally claiming those isles is stupid but I'm aware that UK will shit on our entire antartic claim because of them.
>>53617603
Different cultures. You can't expect everyone to share the British sense of humor.
>>53617246
>
How Yanks chimped out and why?
>>53617696
If you're friends with said people is different but you shouldn't expect strangers to take it nicely. I'm sure most wouldn't.
I don't understand the brits. Don't act like a dumbass in a country you had a war with and current tensions and you'll have no problem.
>>53617701
>I'm aware that UK will shit on our entire antartic claim because of them.
It was ours first! You tried to steal it in 1943 when we were unable to defend them because we were at war with the Nazis (who coincidentally the Argentinians sympathised with).
If the banter is going out of the window, I'll just say it. We're a better country than you and anyone would be happier under our influence than yours.
>>53617845
What about in France? Can I be a dumbass there because of William the Conqueror? Fair is fair surely!
>>53616940
Why does that make it better?
>it's not three middle aged car journalists, it's our official government position, so it's OK!
>>53617909
First Guillaume le Conquérant was a frenchman conquering england, so no one would care about it. 2 : it happened nine hundred years ago
>>53617921
I'm not saying it's better. I condemn propaganda while you defend those """"journalists""""
>>53617812
Yeah I can see your point they knew they were gonna get a reaction and they got just what they wanted
>>53613953
it wasnt a coincidence
thats what they said afterwards as damage control
you know what clarkson is like and you know full well it was intentional. look at the fucking plate fgs theres no coincidence
![disgust[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/guBU0uC.jpg "disgust[1].jpg")
>>53618005
>900 years ago
And yet the French genes still exist
>>53618044
There's a time and place for jokes. Brits fail to understand that for whatever reason.
>>53618133
a lot of our humour is getting under peoples skin
we dont find toilet jokes funny
>>53617845
The point is though that they actually didn't.
I'm not saying that if the whole thing hadn't become an international incident that clarkson wouldn't have said anything during the show, but the numberplate thing is weak.
Whenever they do something like that all three do it (see the gay slogans in america or cocaine ones in bolivia). Also about 60 % of the show's British audience probably wouldn't even know the significance of the date 1982.
>>53618044
That's true, it was damn good television actually.
>In a game of banter the first to react negatively is the one who loses
It's a fantastic rule!
>>53618028
I wouldn't defend it if I thought it was intentional.
You, on the other hand are defending vandalism and attempted assault.
>>53618226
This, they also never spend the entire episode slating a country.
They make jokes about stereotypes but in every one of their travels they always show how beautiful the world actually is and how great their visit was.
The Patagonia special portrayed Argentina as being an excellent country, Jeremy even tweeted that he wanted to move there.
>>53618203
Nor do we but I wouldn't go to the UK to mock the queen and expect people to be ok with it.
>>53618333
There was assault actually, a few of the crew did get hit after the windows got smashed.
>>53618247
>>53618133
Don't act like worse wouldn't happen if an argentine went to Britain and said something bad about Islam
>>53618367
Literally no one would want to stone you to death for that. You could piss on Thatcher's grave and someone would shout "Wheey! Banter!".
>>53618367
lighten up is all i can say to you
>>53618367
Most people probably wouldn't care, actually.
>>53617603
I bet poms would chimp out if a Muslim made a comedy routine about the London bombings
>>53618435
Oh that's cheeky! What would happen if an Argentine went to Australia and said
>I don't really like that men at work song..
>>53618361
Come off it mate you're right that top gear presents a pretty good view of most of the countries they visit it but the plate was obviously trying for a reaction
>>53618333
I don't defend any of that either. I'm merely saying that not everything share the British sense of humor and as such you shouldn't be surprised if someone takes it badly. More so because they claim it was a coincidence and no one buys that. Only apologist shills do.
>>53618475
Pfft yeah ones in Britain First or voted UKIP, but tbqh they're jokes themselves.
>>53618517
Simply wouldn't happen lad
>>53618517
too far m8
>>53618527
It's such a subtle joke though, it's not like they painted
>Argentina: 0
>Britain: 1
In a "how hard can it be to get our heads caved in?" challenge.
Although they probably would have if they weren't already going to get their heads kicked in.
>>53618475
Go watch 'Four Lions'. Thank me later.
>>53617246
Really? I don't remember that.
What happened?
>>53617851
>We're a better country than you and anyone would be happier under our influence than yours.
Yeah and we are the brainwashed ones holly shit.
>>53618475
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1341167/
>>53618475
not if it was funny, but how many funny muslims have you met? we'd likely get angry at the fact they tried to mock us but did such a piss poor job of it.
it's like when a JF tries to banter but is just offensive, it's not the insult that annoys you, it's the shit attempt at banter.
>>53618667
They painted
>NASCAR Sucks
>Man-love rules ok
>Hilary Clinton for president
on their cars and drove through Alabama, most American swear it was staged though.
>>53618680
>Yeah and we are the brainwashed ones holly shit.
Yeah that's right.
>>53618622
This.
Clarkson paints motorbikes in the stars and stripes and drives them through Vietnam. He doesn't leave crossword cluse about the dates of small wars from the 80s.
The whole thing only obscured whatever offensive stunt they were REALLY cooking up.
>>53618680
Well to be fair, our government hasn't murdered any prosecutors or made any propaganda for children for a few years now.
>>53618645
>>53618711
Trailer looks pretty good I might check it out but it's doesn't look like it's actually about a specific incident
>>53618843
> made any propaganda for children for a few years now.
Thank god they stopped that after The Tweenies.
>>53618883
It's not specifically about 7/7. Good luck with the accents btw :^)
Anyone who thinks this wasn't deliberate doesn't know anything about the brits.
>>53618843
>made any propaganda for children for a few years now
Don't be so naive mate
I'm sure if the number plate didn't do it then they'd have made something more obvious
>>53618743
KEK, forgot about that episode.
It probably wasn't staged considering the area they were in, but if it was staged then it was 10/10.
>>53618981
Oh just because we made a few "I surrendered to the Nazis rather than having Paris levelled by bombing" jokes.
>>53618911
I'll never forget the lessons I learned from Rosie and Jim about the evils of soviet comunism and the superiority of narrow-boats as a form of naval warship procurement.
>>53618925
he should be fine with the accents, it's only the yanks that seem to struggle.
Also quite a lot of you know the score but any anon who thinks this was a coincidence is an idiot.
>>53619054
Ok so think it through. Lets say hypothetically they hadn't been run out of the country, how was the numberplate joke meant to play out?
>>53619051
I remember an episode of Thomas the Tank Engine reminding us not to buy Japanese Pokémon cards unless you want to be forced to build a bridge over the River Sodor.
>>53619177
It would have involved people in YouTube comments pointing it out like they were the only clever clog to notice it.
>>53619177
I think it was just subtle background noise for people to notice and also probably largely done for Clarkson's own entertainment. I don't know whether they would have mentioned it explicitly -- probably just featured prominently in certain shots (which it was.) I just can't see them going to Argentina, buying that car and NOT noticing the number plate.
>>53619330
Nah because Top Gear is partially intended for the mentally deficient, they ALWAYS point out their jokes. Has their ever been an episode where something about one presenter's car hasn't been noticed by another presenter? It's always the same
>Hammond: Err Jeremy what is that?
>Clarkson: Oh yes that is my <insert joke writing/object>
>Hammond: Whu-? Oh god!
>May: You utter clot Clarkson..
>>53619525
I understand where you're coming from but it's aimed at a mass market - with references on different levels for different people.
Some Sun level butthurt ITT. Who cares about those shitty islands. Let them have their shitty football banners, cartoons etc. The military we have down there alone could wreck their entire military so it's just noise...
>>53619330
seems a small payoff for the effort of, as someone claimed earlier in the thread, picking a car for the entire segment based solely on its numberplate.

I am a huge fan of course.
>>53619330
Only autists look for hidden meanings in a number plate. Top Gear make fun of a lot of things, but they wouldn't mock war veterans (especially considering that British soldiers died too).
>>53619865
> they wouldn't mock war veterans
This, remember the war veteran Hammond met on that Vietnamese beach?
TGIDF out in force. It's not taking the piss out of veterans though is it? It's just Clarkson being Clarkson with his patriotic/nationalist vibe & ribbing on Argentina..
>>53613675
So? Clarkson picked that particular porsche because of the license. I mean if he had a choice between a porsche without or with a funny licence, which one you, whoch one you reckon his going to pick?
Clarkson keeps going on and on about the Falklands war too in the epiaodes so its pretty clear it was intentional. Besides funny plates are their gag.
>>53619865
>they wouldn't mock war veterans
see>>53615101
>>53620079
>Clarkson is a nationalist
Yeah because he never makes fun of Britain. EVER.
>>53620114
Also Argentinian media noticed and reported on it as soon as it came off the boat, there's absolutely zero chance that NONE of the crew noticed
>>53620201
I wouldn't be surprised if that speccy ginger Evans releases the deleted footage of them all acknowledging the license plate just to shut the "Bring back Clarkson, he din do nuffin!" petitioners up when the new Top Gear inevitably sucks a bollock.
>>53620079
I'm not defending TG, because as already been pointed out, their MO is to do wildly more offensive stuff than this, in a more overt way.
It's not even that offensive anyway: "1982 Falklands". Even the Argentine mobs only got riled up because of internet rumours that the numberplate mocked the number of dead.
The whole argument is only fed to deflect attention from the fact that the chimp out was a gross overreaction.
>>53620117
But Vietnam actually won their war
intentional or not you're forgetting that an angry mob formed and retarded argies began to throw stones at the TG crew.

Why would there be? They don't even know what Top Gear is and it wasn't mass reported in their media like it was in Argentina
>>53621103
>body type: rather not say
>>53621223
>implying they need to know what Top Gear is to be offended by a white bloke riding a monkey bike covered in US flags
>>53617719
Yes, but surely it's not unreasonable to expect people to act like civilised human beings in the face of what was very mild provocation?
>>53617812
>I'm sure most wouldn't.
You wouldn't see what happened in Argentinia happen anywhere in Europe given a similar context. Hell, for years the Eurostar trains coming from France terminated in Waterloo station.
>>53618133
>There's a time and place for jokes
In Argentina that time is apparently never if you're joking about the Falklands.
Over-sensitive wankers.
>>53618367
>but I wouldn't go to the UK to mock the queen and expect people to be ok with it.
Literally nobody would care.
