LOL, wow. Sounds like someone missed the point of TG entirely! I guess "because it's fun!" isn't a good enough reason for this person? More for the rest of us, I guess.
Edit: YAY, I got my third star! Now I'm properly filthy! ;D

Looks like someone got out of the wrong side of bed ;D The author needs to order a sense of humour for Christmas! I must say, I'm chuffed to be called a moron for such a worthy cause. ;D Edit: Congrats violetrose!  ...and I just got my second!  |

If TG is for Neanderthals, then I'm very proud and happy to declare myself a Neanderthal!  ;D To borrow a phrase from Jezza, maybe the writer of this article also has an irony deficiency. If he doesn't like TG, why on Earth does he watch it?! Some people just don't get it, do they? Oh well...  PS: Congratulations, Your Smuttyness and Your Filthyness! ;D |

So the author of this article says ............."The portions of Top Gear I have been able to watch prior to falling to the floor in a foaming rage made me want to resign from the male gender and from the whole human race." Yeah go do it, we won't miss you!
Maybe it's a case of "those who can, do, and those who can't criticise", this guy is only jealous that he doesn't have the best job *long silence* "in the world".

the Irish public may... ogle cars only white-collar criminals and successful drug dealers can afford
There's not even a smidge of jealousy there. Nope, none at all!
Bite me, Sean Kenny!!

Congrats, Violetrose! You've always seemed filthy! Now you can wear your stars with pride! ;D ;D

I note there's no 'readers'comments' section, as in the DT. Quelle surprise.
Violetrose, I always thought you were a proper filthy one, long before your extra star, and Pie, I knew it wouldn't take you long. Bask in your elevated status, ladies!

Thank you, ladies. I do take pride in my filthiness, mwahaha. *devil horns* Seriously - that guy needs a sense of humor. I think it's a waste of time to roll around on the floor and call the rest of us Neatherthals. Methinks he doth protest too much. |

Refutation by denigration is the lowest, laziest form of critique.
If the writer doesn't like Top Gear - fine. Terrific. Don't watch it. Change the channel. Go do something else. But don't insult the viewers who find the show entertaining - it's classless and shows the writer's own limitations.
I agree with those who think the writer needs a sense of humor transplant, plus an irony booster shot.

This guy missed the stats that about 1/2 of the Top Gear viewers are women. Top Gear caught the social movement! This is the first car show I've seen that treats men and women as equals. It also gives us the freedom to drool over fabulous cars that "only drug dealers" can afford just like the men do. What a dipstick!
