Top Gear in Argentina

[Kalis]

You make it sound like Top Gear is actually any good...

Three men getting paid to travel all over the world, fucking around and pissing about with cars, which is a fantasy lifestyle for a lot of men, and it's extremely popular.

Everyone has different tastes.

Meanwhile, in Argentina....

I'm 3 minutes in this is amazing

Meanwhile, in Argentina....

That was really good, thanks.

When I refreshed the page and saw no one had responded I figured people were still watching it. The subtitles are hilarious :P Might be interesting to know what the actual translation is, and who made it

Obvious propaganda but still hilarious.

Perhaps he's scouring the internet for links he hasn't read properly that he can use as evidence we should return the Falklands.

And the Elgin Marbles.

And Scotland.

And probably Jersey.

And anything else he thinks Britain has stolen in the last few hundred years.

To be fair, I'd agree about returning the Elgin Marbles.

'Entertaining' is subjective -- Much like me finding cartoons boring and for prepubescents.

Nien, nien, nien. Let's not start the "I r mor matoor than u" clusterfuck.

On topic, Argentina never owned the Islands and have absolutely no claim over them. They need to get over that.

That video is just sad and evil. Teaching children to hate is the most heinous crime you can do to your children.

They want the islands? They can come and get them.

Oh wait, they lost all their ships and warplanes in 1982 and haven't been able to buy any more because their government has been busy drowning the country in debt, massive inflation and recession.

They could go and clear the 20,000 anti-personnel mines they put on the islands too, if they wanted to help.

It doesn't say that. All the hate stuff and the British stereotypes where purposely translated wrong. All it really said is they believe it's theirs.

Cliche evil laughing British
Death skulls on British fighter planes.
Wrongfully depicting Argentinian soldiers as the struggling few, when the British on land were outnumbered.
Wrongfully depicting British soldiers being drafted, when in reality the British consisted of professional soldiers.

Images tell stories as well, not just text and speech.


On the topic of stoning people's cars, and even people because of their licence plates. It is never acceptable to physically harm another human being.

[Paulosio]

Argentina are still mad that we took an island from them that they took from the Spanish?

Argentina never took the island from the Spanish. The only time it's ever been in Argentine posession is when they occupied it in 1982. The only claim they have on it is that they are the closest mainland country to the islands.... It's like the USA claiming Cuba because they happen to be the closest country on the mainland.

I wish they would, as it might then cause the Nationalists/Republicans who identify with that supposed 'cause' here in Northern Ireland to actually shut up about it.

Yes the laughing and skulls made the British look like the bad guys but that video makes Argentina look like some crazy loons with all the cussing, u wot m8 stereotypes and especially the we should kill all their women and children. It was definitely biased but not vulgar...it's obviously a freaking kids show.

I don't know why you're going on about the translation. I have made no comments at all on the translation, it's obviously poorly done and has nothing to do with the original author. What i am arguing is what you just said. The video is aimed at children, biased but more importantly it's also hateful and it's teaching children to hate.

Wait... why should Argentina relinquish its rightful claim to the islands?

The Argentinian claim is based on hearsay, the British claim is based on written evidence and possession.
