Richard Hammond Thinks Eating Ice Cream Is Gay On Amazon Grand Tour Top Gear - Video

Richard Hammond Thinks Eating Ice Cream Is Gay On Amazon Grand Tour Top Gear Richard Hammond is the previously mostly unknown member of the Amazon Grand Tour Top Gear crew who's now reached the heights of social media fame because he remarked that eating ice cream was “gay” and he's straight. Richard Hammond made the comment in an exchange on the sixth episode of the car driving show he co-hosts with Jeremy Clarkson and James May, which was titled 'Happy Finnish Christmas'. The group was talking in front of a live audience in the UK when Clarkson pointed out that you "couldn't enjoy a chocolate Magnum ice cream" in the interior of a Rolls Royce with white leather seats. "It's alright, I don't eat ice cream," Hammond said. "It's something to do with being straight." Clarkson and May were taken aback, while members of the audience cheered and applauded. "Why are you applauding him?" Clarkson asked the crowd. "What do you mean? You're saying all children are homosexual?" "Ice cream is a bit...you know," Hammond continued, saying: "There's nothing wrong with it, but a grown man eating an ice cream - it's that way, rather than that way. "I'm right, I can't believe you can't see that. It's easy. It's in front of you." The obviously obtuse comment has made “Richard Hammond” a Twitter Worldwide Trend, with a number of people slamming him for his comment, a few wondering if society gets that he's playing for attention for the Amazon show, and still others wondering what all the fuss is about, given that they believed he was not serious. But the lions share of tweets were heavily against Mr. Hammond. It's too early to know what the fall-out of Richard Hammond's very public issues with ice cream are, but stay tuned.

Oakland Mayor's Race: LWV Forum Draws Oakland's Older Folks

By
Oakland Mayor's Race Forum first take. (Which means, there's going to be more of these posts on last night, because a lot was happening.) This just in: The Oakland Tribune's out of touch with Oakland. A number of attendees of the 450 estimated said they learned of the Oakland League Of Women Voters via "the newspaper." All of the people who made that statement were over 50 years old. Still, the forum, which attracted every candidate except Dr. Terrance Candell, was a success. The auditorium at 300 Lakeside Drive seats 380 people, so if you do the math, it was about 70 over capacity. The crowd was a happy mix of supporters of candidates and long-time observers of the Oakland political scene. The one complaint they had was there wasn't enough time to hear what the candidates were about. That wasn't because there were too many candidates, but due to the format. Either Oakland Tribune Editor Martin Reynolds or the League of Women Voter
