He must not have insulted them enough! Top Gear team flees Argentina after angry crowd pelts them with stones in wake of Jeremy Clarkson Falklands number plate row

He insults US and we copy his UK TV Show (though a poor imitation); Clarkson on America:
"If you're thinking of coming to America, this is what it's like: you've got your Comfort Inn, you've got your Best Western, and you've got your Red Lobster where you eat. Everybody's very fat , everybody's very stupid and everybody's very rude - it's not a holiday programme, it's the truth."
Take note of Jeremy's spare tire and graciousness. 
Who knew the Argentines were so sensitive about the # H982FLK. Still crybabies.
They lost the war, but, of course, Obama thinks the Falklands should go to loser. It's kind of the way he's giving the Southwestern US back to the Mexicans, piece by piece. m/r
