The list of people, organizations and even countries that have been offended by Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson (http://autoblog.com/tag/jeremy+clarkson/) is long and illustrious: Mexico (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/02/video-top-gear-riles-mexico-with-comments-elicits-respo/), Christians (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/12/31/followup-as-it-turns-out-christians-also-offended-by-i/), Muslims (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/12/29/top-gear-holiday-special-draws-religious-firestorm-over-b/), the Romanian government (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/11/24/next-in-line-to-get-irked-by-jeremy-clarkson-the-romanian-gover/), environmentalists (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/18/environmentalists-treat-jeremy-clarksons-lawn-to-a-steaming-pil/), women (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/08/30/report-jeremy-clarkson-against-female-i-top-gear-i-host-cal/), Poland (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/08/06/video-mock-vw-ad-from-jeremy-clarkson-draws-criticism/), Scotland (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/07/21/i-top-gear-i-draws-fire-for-glorifying-210-mph-ticket-only/), Boy Scouts and Catholics (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/06/27/jeremy-clarkson-upsets-scouts-catholic-church-with-skoda-commen/), Tesla (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/12/19/tesla-responds-to-top-gears-test-of-roadster/), his own countrymen (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/12/jeremy-clarkson-caught-driving-while-talking-on-cell-britons/), family counselors (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/04/20/sun-retrains-staff-over-jeremy-clarkson-suicide-jabs/), Christians (again) (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/03/19/bbc-tells-complaining-vicar-jeremy-clarksons-blasphemy-is-ever/), labor unions (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/02/22/uk-tv-authority-lets-jeremy-clarkson-off-hook-for-should-be-sho/), Indians (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/12/30/latest-group-that-jeremy-clarkson-has-offended-indians/), Wales (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/09/08/jeremy-clarkson-says-welsh-language-should-be-abolished-dust-up/), handicapped people (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/08/05/top-gear-team-apologizes-for-row-over-handicap-space/), cancer victims (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/08/02/jeremy-clarkson-in-trouble-for-parking-in-handicapped-space-jok/), black people (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/07/08/jeremy-clarkson-in-hot-water-again-after-racist-remark-in-column/), Wales (again) (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/15/top-gear-blokes-get-death-threats-after-jabs-at-wales/), hackers (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/07/jeremy-clarksons-bank-account-hacked-to-prove-a-point/), environmentalists (again) (http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/09/top-gear-in-trouble-over-salt-flat-stunt/), Americans (http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/12/top-gear-crew-visits-u-s-a-will-never-return-again/), and his own countrymen (again) (http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/01/bbc-decides-to-back-top-gear-against-complaints/).
There's at least one notable and somewhat easily offended group that had stayed off that list: PETA (http://autoblog.com/tag/peta/).
That surprising omission has now been filled. Clarkson elicited howls from PETA after posting a picture of a just-crushed mouse on Twitter. It seems the rodent was turned into mincemeat during filming in Moscow.
In related news, Clarkson's very next tweet was also from Russia, this time in a restaurant. The picture, which was of a table with wine glasses, an ashtray and a lit cigarette, was captioned: "Perfection. Civilised country. Russia." So... next up to be offended? Anyone who doesn't like toxic smoke around their food and drink, perhaps.Latest group offended by Top Gear host Clarkson?
