BMW could get a wait list on a pile of dog crap if they put a roundel on it and call it ‘new’.

Counterpoint: The BMW i8 is an overpriced, underperforming heap wrapped in aggressively pretentious design language of the sort which writes checks it’s hard numbers can’t cash.

This “not ready for prime time” president has done it once again... Thanks Obama for making the U.S, look weak again on the world stage, which of course, is what he wants.

Speaking as a former Navy service member, who was swift boat certified, this story stinks worse than 3 day old diapers. For reference, these boats are gone over with a fine tooth comb before each mission, and they have 2 boats or more to a mission for self rescue, this is standard operating procedures. Next the craft…

I think it’s kinda hilarious that Gawker, which is fucking infamous for finding the absolute thinnest of non-stories that make a Republican or conservative look bad and plastering that fucker all over the web like it’s the second coming of Jebus, is upset because Fox has taken a super-thin non-story and making a big…

The only thing sadder then fox news or watching it as your only source is being a lib-tard just complaining about how bad Fox News is... FUCKING WATCH SOMETHING ELSE YOU MORONS.

Haha! It’s funny that this article is pointing towards Fox’s bias, by making your own bias so obviously clear. If no one knows enough to know what’s happening, stop making assumptions you do. Nearly all of our Nation’s media outlets are full of shit and have a clear bias. People simply prefer whichever backs up their…

Wow it seems like everyones missing the obvious problem - why were they‘drifting’ anywhere near Iranian waters in the first place? Some serious questions need to be answered. I think its of bigger concern than anyone’s reaction to the event. Just my two cents worth.

While for the most part I enjoy Jalopnik, my interest is waning, because I’ve grown tired of the political banter. Stick to fucking cars. We get enough political shit rammed down our throats 24/7. Moreover, political commentary from a car site is even less meaningful than from Fox or MSNBC. If I want political satire,…

Of course the coverage was way overboard (pun intended) and that’s the reason why I couldn’t bear to watch it. But before you get all self-righteous it isn’t all that different than the click bait titles I see here. Of course, the political angle is fun for fomenting outrage on these pages, but it’s the same type of…

I do not know if you have been actually watching the Iranian broadcasts, but they have been using a lot of the images to associate this with the Embassy takeover. These hostages were shown blindfolded and ridiculed as cowards, just like the ones in the 70s. The Fox people might be uninformed idiots, but it still…

Crazy thing for Fox to say, sure, but I still find the headscarf and the fact that they videotaped an apology to be broadcast a bit distasteful.

I agree, Fox News’ “outrage” on this issue is ridiculous, and it’s definitely intended to further the “Obama makes this country weak” narrative. Still, I don’t think we should have publicly thanked Iran for doing this. They put out a video of the soldiers being detained that was clearly intended to embarrass America.…

I will say the apology was a little weird, I mean if you crash on the side of the road and someone stops to help you, you don’t apologize, you just keep thanking them for their help

Yes, a country’s territorial seas aren’t the high seas, but that’s beside the point. There’s a concept called “innocent passage” which applies to warships in territorial waters. There’s also the concept of foreign sovereign immunity, which applies to naval vessels. Those laws apply equally to the U.S. and are observed…

The bottom line is, they released the video, They didn’t have to do that.

Ummm. Gulf of Tonkin. LBJ. Democrat...

It’s a violation of maritime law to board a foreign naval vessel in peacetime. It’s also a violation of maritime law to search a foreign naval vessel in peacetime, and it’s also a violation of maritime law to detain foreign naval sailors in peacetime. Finally, it’s a violation of the Geneva Convention to broadcast…

Not just that, but having a crew put their hands up during a boarding action like this is also for their own safety, so that no mistakes or misinterpretations are made that could lead to a massacre. The U.S. Navy does the same when a threat is perceived

Tantaros is obnoxious. That said, whether it was SOP or not, the Iranians were punkin’ us. Definitely.
