I thought last Sunday's Top Gear was hilarious! With their little road trip to the US....buying cars in Florida, nearly getting killed in Alabama, eating roadkill cow :lol:
Not for one second did I think anyone would take offence from these (virtually self-confessed) prats! Apart from the er....'lovely'....people in the gas station... But it seems like some Americans, after years of us trying to get them to understand our humour, see Jeremy Clarkson as the devil incarnate for this latest episode, and for dissing their beloved Corvette in the past!
I occasionally visit a Subaru Forester forum which is international, and there was a recent thread on the 'Europe' board from an American guy, who was a bit upset about Top Gear's recent road trip....

*Hey mods - hope you don't mind me posting this link....I don't think many will abscond from The Salon Geek to go start posting here, but remove it if it's considered spam*
I used to live in LA when I was younger and go back a lot, I love the US! And most of the people I know over there have an amazing sense of humour. But I can't help giggling when some US peeps take Top Gear seriously and actually get indignant about JC, Captain Slow and Hamster and their silly comments....how VERY dare they?! :lol:
(On the link to that thread, about seven posts down there is a 'Revocation of Independence' joke...it is amazing!)
