Top Gear is actually shit.

Someone had to say it. It really is fucking awful. If you like I'll tell you why...

In all honesty, you have to admit, cars are boring. Does anyone really know what horsepower is good to have? If a car can do 0 to 60 in 5 seconds, is this good? Considering you'd never be in a situation in your everyday routine where this would be helpful. Because you all know, you really wouldn't.
Why is watching a complete wanker (more of which later) speeding around a racetrack in a fancy car good? You'll never get that car, you'll never go on a track with it, you'll never be able to drive like that.
If it is supposed to be a show reviewing cars, why does it not mention anything of cars that people can actually afford, and that you would drive around in to go to work/do the shopping/cart various children around? Oh wait, because it would be boring (like all cars are). Instead we see whatever 'super car' go 'like a squirrel with adrenaline injected into it's testicles', or some other ridiculously stupid metaphor.
It is presented by a total prat. I really don't see what is so funny about Jeremy Clarkson. He is a stupid, arrogant bigot. He knows nothing about anything. Other than how much he likes the sound of his own voice. For someone who is a 'petrol head', he actually does not have a clue about anything to do with cars. All he 'knows' is how to hit things with a hammer, and insult the French/German - a petty disliking, that the whole nation could probably do with getting over.

So there you go. Don't agree? Then watch it, and think about all these points, you will see that I am right. I saw a Facebook group campaigning that the show shouldn't be cancelled (and as we all know, Facebook really can change the world....). I for one, really hope that it does. Because it truly is fucking shite.
