Personally I have no doubt that he intentionally chose that plate number, just to provoke them, but the Argentinias get butthurt, just too easily.
He depserately tries to be controversial, and some bits of self-mocking are not particularly harmful for a nation's prosperity, I think.
It's not the first time Top Gear's controversy upsets a nation's pride (one other incident was when he implied that Greek women are somewhat hairy, which lead all the mainstream news to make racist comments about the British, female population), so the world's immaturity still continues to amaze me.
Finally, the accusation that the number plate of May's car is a reference to the Argentinian casualties during the war is laughable.
It probably was just a coincidence, but the Argentinians should keep in mind who was the aggressor in the Falklands War.
They got rid of the dictatorship, thanks to Thatcher's decisiveness, I dare say.
Your thoughts?
