"Top Gear" in Alabama

Quite an embarrassment for southerners, but hilarious and work safe.

.............wow.

i'm sure the same would happen if you painted "<favorite local soccer team> SUCKS!" and drove around any part of England, too.

I love top gear...but its amazing what great lengths they go to just to say america sucks

WOW.:eek: That took cohones the size of grapefruits!! I've seen brave and I've seen stupid. THAT was STUPID.

Stupidity
 

Actually it was rather stupid and just shows that they really don't have an understanding of the US. NOW, if everyone driving around was aware that these three had foreign accents----there would have been hell to pay.

Bible belt--yes---"strong" republican---well not necessarily.

I am sure we would get much more reaction in the UK by insulting the Queen or something equally stupid.

Lee :D

yes, we all know British soccer hooligans are the yardstick used to measure class and culture. :D

Don't worry folks, it was staged.

Really???
 

Actually I don't think anyone was worrying about it.
:D

Isn't it queer how the British are as bemused by our fictitious films 'The Dukes of Hazard', 'Billy Jack', 'Deliverance' and 'Smokey and the Bandit' as we are with the antics of their non-fictitious 'Royal Family'?

Be proud and and eat your haggis, Clarkson. We've got head cheese and grits!




:p ;) :D :D

wait, those weren't real?












for real? :confused:

Fictitious?
 

Say it ain't so!, Beav, say it ain't so!!!

Well, Bufort T Justice is real, 'cos he was in James Bond with Roger Moore!:mad:

And the Brits don't fabricate.

So there!!!:p :p :p :D

True, ignorance and stupidity know no national boundaries.

I'm a born-and-raised Southerner and proud of it, and I was about to bust a gut laughing at this stupid thing. Know why? 'Cause I know those folks.

Powerful aspect of satire: It's rarely amusing nor insulting unless it's plausible.

I kept looking around the area to see if I knew someone. :D :D

As much as I love the show, a lot of what they do is really fake.. sometimes blatantly. Like the one where he shoots a rocket at the flying car, fake. Episodes where cars crash into something and blow up in huge fireballs, fake.

but entertaining.
