After Russell Brand & Jonathan Ross got record complaints from people who never even heard what offended them.

You too, can now feel the same joy of getting snotty and complaining....

....Yes it's your chance to.....

..... jump on the...

"I'm offended bandwagon!"

Jeremy Clarkson sparks fresh BBC row - Times Online

I don't even watch Top Gear, but did that stop me complaining to :-

A specific programme | Ofcom

Hell No! I think Jeremy Clarkson's a nob and gets paid to much, thats why I did it

Isn't it routine to have people moan about clarkson after every show?

Im sure some people have an automated script to fire off a complaint without even watching.

it got to 517 complaints when the media feeding frenzy took off.

but can i make a complaint about the media stirring up a complaint?

Saw the program and thought it MOST amusing.

Offended? You bet I was! I had to leave a very strong reply on the Times' website supporting Jezza.

Can you fill that form in and complain about any programme?.

If you can, I am going to think of some to complain about, I cant complain about JC though, I think he should be next Prime Minister.

Of course you can.
I also complained about Songs of Praise 4.45pm on Sunday:-
Having far too many people that were quite obversely on drugs to be that happy on the programme before the 9.00pm watershed!

That should be banned under some of the anti-brainwashing laws they brought in to combat terrorism.

So its sensible to complain about that evil force.

I saw the programme, and when the comment about how lorry drivers spend their days was made I thought "Oh Dear"

I did think they countered the remark by repeatedly expressing admiration for the amount of skill, dexterity, etc it takes to control a truck in motion.

Like others have said though - X hundred complaints v X million viewers - what % of the population is offended?

Problem is it's the silent majority that don't get represented, all those normal folk who think 'Snigger-Snigger, did you hear what he just said?' then get on with their lives.
