Spark notes version: The mirror found an unreleased shot from a top gear review where Jeremy was saying how to choose between the brz and gt86 is simple and then does the ennie minnie moe rhyme, but in that shot he allegedly mumbled the n word (the original version of the rhyme) and using paid audio forensic people the mirror determined it was 75% possible the word he mumbled was in fact the n word . Now everyone is up in arms saying he should be fired and all that despite them redoing that shot and replacing n word with teacher and airing that version.
I am the only one that thinks this absolutely ridiculous, first off the alleged version did not even air and secondly it took a team of forensic audio engineers to determine that it was possible that he even said it. Doesnt that seem like a little bit of overkill?
Even if he did say it does it really matter, it was off air and highly unlikely anyone on set was that offended seeing as the clip several years old now and to top it all off it wasnt even said in offensive manner it was mumbled while reciting the childhood rhyme in the way most people know it was originally made and immediately recited the more politically correct way in the subsequent shot
