Or at least, another country that is seeking an apology from the <em>Top Gear<\/em> host for his no doubt rude, but no <em>doubter <\/em>funny comments about said country. In this case, it&#8217;s the former Iron Curtain nation of Romania. Seems that during the series&#8217; season 14 opener, Jezza had some less than flattering observations about the country that shot former &#8220;Conductor&#8221; Nicolae Ceau\u015fescu and his wife before they could even be tied up and blindfolded. <\/p>\n<p>Clarkson&#8217;s offending remarks? He referred to Romania as &#8220;Borat country.&#8221; He also donned the silly-looking pork pie hat above and stated, &#8220;I&#8217;m wearing this hat so the gypsies think I am one. I&#8217;m told they can be violent if they don&#8217;t like the look of you.&#8221; He also called Romanian water &#8220;Communist water&#8221; and mentioned that Romanians like to express their sense of humor with guns. Pretty innocuous stuff if you ask us. Especially compared to cracks Clarkson&#8217;s made about other non-British places. Like Germany, America and Malaysia. Regardless, the Romanian government is apparently expecting an apology. We think they&#8217;d have a better chance at satisfaction by issuing a Whamber Alert. In any case, you can see the offending footage in its entirety by clicking through to the jump.<\/p>\n<p>[Sources: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/news\/newstopics\/celebritynews\/6634380\/Jeremy-Clarkson-in-trouble-over-jokes-about-Romania.html\">Telegraph<\/a>; YouTube]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/11\/24\/next-in-line-to-get-irked-by-jeremy-clarkson-the-romanian-gover\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>Next in line to get irked by Jeremy Clarkson?
