LONDON – Just days after being engulfed in a controversy involving two of its biggest on-air personalities, the BBC acknowledged it has received over 500 complaints about an unsavory joke made by another of its leading presenters.
The complaints were about Jeremy Clarkson joking on his popular TV auto show "Top Gear" about truck drivers killing prostitutes, the British broadcaster said Tuesday on its Web site. "Change gear, change gear, check mirror, murder a prostitute, change gear, change gear, murder," he joked in the Sunday evening show that was watched by 7 million viewers.
