Top Gear is a great show. But do you honestly think those rednecks give a damn? Try again.

Great link, though. Brought back horrible memories of Easy Rider.

What a put on bunch of crap. Nothing like a little politically motivated stereotyping to produce a crappy tv show huh?

Made a big point of mentioning Christianity, Bush, and Republicans to ensure they were included in the negative stereotyping.

The woman at the gas station asked them if they were 'gays'. If she really were some ultra-redneck she would not have used PC-speak. She would have called them fags or queers, she certainly wouldn't have used the word gays.

The whole thing is just a bunch of garbage in the name of television for idiots who eat that crap up. I've lived in the deep South all of my life and can tell you that little piece of garbage was just one long unrealistic stereotype. May as well have been an episode of South Park, except of course South Park would be more funny.

It's bullshit.

You see one, maybe two people antagonizing them, and it appeared to be the business owner who didn't want to have them sitting there with the bullshit on their cars. The crap with the pointing the camera at the ground, going to "radio", etc., is smoke and mirrors.

The piece of shit that did the article about it online talks about his cultured "california" Americans... well, I could suggest a few spots he could ride through LA or Oakland after *I* had painted a few things on his cars. I would be willing to bet his assailants, and you can bet your ass there would be assailants, would traditionally vote Democrat.

Go into a popular bar in England and proclaim that soccer is for fags. Go to the a few spots in the pinnicle of American liberal culture, New York, and, well, just LOOK at someone the wrong way. I can suggest some places I have been in Atlanta where just showing up WHITE causes as much fear and loathing as what was written on these cars.

The fact is, I could take you to places in the mountains in TN where they literally WOULD have needed to be afraid. I can do the same, though, in many urban centers where Bush hating Dems cash there checks at the "no questions asked" storefront "banks". These people should lose their jobs for this kind of hack job, or be forced to go back and squeal like pigs.

Nah, you'd have to say it's for poofs. If ya said fags they'd just light up a smoke.

It makes me mad "and then the rednecks arrived". If you look closely at the people in the back of that truck there were women and kids. Those people hadn't been called there, it was a store, they were probably going for ice cream.

I don't believe a single damn rock was ever really thrown. They don't show it. I've seen correspondents sit under fire and get film. It's too damned convenient that they couldn't get an ounce of anything on tape.

The idiots at Digg are all up in arms about it, railing about the south and the confederate flag and crap. They are nazis, just trendy, socially accepted nazis, ignorantly condemning other cultures. They need to pack their crap and see to the dental cares of their own inbred nations.

Yes, it pisses me off.

nuff said.

nm... I'm done. I removed my article. Taking the high road...

Just Euro-dweeb morons pandering to idiots like those on Digg.

nm

nm again.

So you guys don't think the video was even a little funny? Come on, Top Gear gets its jokes from taking advantage of the stereotypes about car fanatics, chavs and foreigners.

I didn't see the article on Digg; the site is of no interest to me. I got sent the link by a mate.

In any event you should really watch an entire episode first before so giving them the Eurodweeb label. It's hilarious. This is just a skit that pokes fun at you. There are others, and anyway, if you can't laugh at yourself who can you laugh at?

What was funny about it, what part? Did you read the blog? Is that part of the skit? I'm sitting here trying to find something comical in it.

There, I watched it again. Were the guy's reactions supposed to be funny? I'm sure its refreshing for hateful people to have someone they can be hateful about without being seen as hateful. It would be like me going to France and brandishing a gun in a mall, and then saying "See, look, French people are cowards" as they run away.

They can comment on America all they want. They can write long blogs, editorialize, whatever. What they did here goes beyond "freedom fries" and becomes something worse. Ask yourself how it would have been taken had they done the same thing, except referencing urban America, filmed the mob, and then commented about how terrible those awful people in the projects are.

No, this will be seen as funny because it is self-congratulatory to demean my culture. It makes people feel smart. Good for them. I just wouldn't suggest they walk up to me and try it, or the no doubt massive amounts they paid to adjust their British smile might have been for naught.

I have a very good sense of humor and can easily and readily laugh at myself with no problem at all. I really tried to find something resembling humor in this and it simply wasn't there. This wasn't funny in any way. It's an obvious pile of garbage intended to insult and denigrate people based upon a stereotype.

What blog? Can you give me a link? Top Gear is a TV show made by the BBC. It's been going for years and years. They do roadtests of sportscars and have a regular segment where they make minor celebrities race around a track in 'a reasonably priced car'.

I haven't a clue what you're talking about Baker.



You've never laughed at someone with a mullet, a fightin' attitude and an intolerance towards gays and NASCAR-haters? What DO you laugh at?
