Top Gear US Special: Challenge "Alabama"

“

'You must not be shot or arrested as you drive across the proud state of Alabama. but you will get bonus points if you can get one of the others shot or arrested.

”

(Note: Nanny Tube reversed the image so reading " Man Love Rules" wouldn't incite you.)

Since I first touted TOP GEAR my newest favorite television show of all time, readers have continually asked if I'd seen Jeremy Clarkson drive through Alabama with a "Hillary for President" sign. Well I just did see it, and it's so much more than that. Here's the 60-Minutes treatment. By the way, the various signs include "Hillary For President;" Man Love Rules;"and "NASCAR SUCKS"

I have never seen people go so far out of their way to help a stranger. Walk into a gas station and ask directions and people will actually jockey for position to be the one to do their good deed for the day. It's always "Yes Sir" "No Sir". Most likely the answer will be "just follow me, I'm going that way". Every other car that drove by me waved the two finger howdy wave. I found it to be true in the city and in the small towns.

I think its funny, stereo types are verboden in our PC world, except when it comes to the South. There it is encouraged. Of course, these wankers had to go out of their way to provoke any rudeness, not that I saw any, after all they did call it "petrol". Theres a reason for an ass whupin right there.

And just to be clear, they also stereotyped themselves as pro communist (no shocker) "down hear (as opposed to us) they don't much like communists". Well there you go Dr. Freud. -Wish I Lived In Dixie; 7/15/11, 10:10 AM

Rodger the Real King of France said...: stupid ... which the producer admits in that interview.; 7/15/11, 2:26 PM
I-RIGHT-I said...: I've never been so proud of my fellow Americans. Those nasty limey bastids intended to provoke good people and then make fun of them on global TV. Instead they damn near got themselves killed and had to run away like the little prissy shitheels they are. Screw them, I'll never watch that show, in fact I may even sell my XKR ragtop in protest. Ok...maybe not that.; 7/15/11, 5:10 PM
CarlS said...: And if y'all believe that they were actually attacked, as opposed to a scripted event, y'all ain't got the brains God gave a jackass.

Why, I's from the South. Deep dark southern Alabama, as far southern as it gets.

Even in the early '60's, we would have laughed whilst we helped.

Thought not.
