Top Gear Still Tops With Me

Part of: TV Nights

What do you want me to tell you? What can I possibly say to you? I've waited four long months to be able to tell you this. Every Monday night I've sat down, turned on the TV, watched my favorite show , and hoped against hope that they would, again, quote me. Well, they did. I'm happy to be able to come to you this very morning and tell you that Top Gear again quoted me in one of their promos. Oh sure, they used the same quote as last time, but they used it in a completely new promo.

Now, at this point you're probably asking yourself why you care that Top Gear had blurbed me. Well, you're a good person and so you want me to be happy. That's at least one reason, isn't it? Aren't you a good person? Don't you care about the happiness of others? Well, I should hope so.

Is that the only reason you should care? Certainly not. You see, while I usually watch television with 100 percent of my body, soul, mind, and spirit, Top Gear I watch with 120 percent. I am more focused in on it, more attuned to what is taking place, I am more critical of it. You see, if I come to you and I say that "Top Gear is… quite possibly the best show on television," I want that to mean something and not just the blurb. If I say such a thing, I want to be right about it. I'm going to sit there and watch the show with all the intensity I can muster so that I can instantly, and I do mean instantly, come to you and take back my praise — and I will if I thought it was misplaced.

    Jeremy Clarkson is to be made UK Prime Minister. Well we're not serious but you would think the government were as Downing Street have made a reply to it. Downing Street has been accused of wasting taxpayers' money after making a you tube video in response to a petition for Jeremy Clarkson to be made Prime Minister a few weeks back.
