I’m afraid there will be no apologies for sharing this video with you. I think it is entirely appropriate and in the public interest.

Jesus to be born in Vietnam

It has previously been shown that if the obvious cause (Joseph) can be discounted, the child born must be the son of God: And so it is in Vietnam.
Jeremy Clarkson — the best thing on TV
Posted by: Gav in Gavin Ayling's blog on September 23rd, 2006
Jeremy Clarkson makes the licence fee worth complaining about less. He regular says “Due to the unique way the BBC is funded…” which is enough for me: I’m already laughing without knowing which punchline or reason for his outburst.
So when Alan Drew tells us on his blog that Mr Clarkson has written a piece on Mr Hamster’s crash and recovery, you’ll know its entertaining.
And in the same way as his appearance makes me watch the BBC, Mr Clarkson’s piece has prompted my first reading of The Sun in quite a long, snobby time.
Two quotes
Posted by: Gav in Gavin Ayling's blog on August 23rd, 2006
First:
If mankind minus one were of one opinion, then mankind is no more justified in silencing the one than the one – if he had the power – would be justified in silencing mankind.
John Stuart Mill
Second:
I’m laughing… but it’s a laugh of impatience.
Homer Simpson
The first is serious and, I would suggest, unreasonable to disagree with. The second, lightens the mood somewhat.

Portugal vs. The Netherlands

The game this evening was ruined by the referree. But it was entertaining in a macrabre way and will certainly help England’s progress…
I hope this picture of Deco and Boulahrouz illustrates quite how absurd the debacle was: Opposing players had more in common than the referree and common sense!
