Top Gear Gets Attacked by Rednecks

This was a REALLY disturbing episode. That crazy lady calls up a lynch mob and they start attacking the crew cars, too. :roll:

It's a good quality video 7+ minutes long.

It's hilarious until they meet a truck full of Red Necks.

I couldn't stop laughing at the comments and detailing made in pink writing on Hammonds truck. :laugh:
 
i have to wonder if it was staged, considering how much clarkson dislikes the US, or how many places they had to stop before they got a reaction

That is awesome. Sadly, people like that exist.

Clarkson dislikes everyone so I don't think this was staged.

The first time I watched it (live), I couldn?t believe it when a truck full of them pulled up. :shocked:

They were lucky to get away unharmed!
 
Bahahahaha, i can't believe that woman's posse came with a bunch of guys in the back of a pickup truck, talk about stereotypes!

They painted slogans on their cars and drove through Alabama.

One car said Hillary for President on the side and NASCAR Sucks on the back
Truck said "MAN LOVE GOOD OK" or something like that in pink.
Other car said "Country western is rubbish" or something to that effect.

On the highways they got a few horn honks, but that's it.

They stopped for gas, got some dirty looks, then a woman came out of the gas station and asked if they were trying to get themselves beat up by driving through a hick town with that stuff painted on their car. She also asked if they were gay.

Then she went inside to call "the boys."

"The boys" arrived in the back of a pickup truck (with a dog). Apparently they attacked them, but you can't really see anything because they chased the cameramen away. I don't think you can actually see anyone hitting anyone or anything like that, although they did say they were throwing rocks at them.



My take on it is that the rednecks knew the slogans were there to goad them into violence so that they could then make fun of them for reacting violently. They didn't take too kindly to the implication that those slogans would make them react violently, so they reacted violently. It wasn't so much the slogans that pissed them off, it was that they knew they were being made the butt of a joke. Of course they wouldn't have been the butt of the joke if they didn't react the way the Top Gear guys wanted them to. 😉
 
Well c'mon. What do you think would happen if you drove through Manchester with a car that screamed "Man-U sucks, Go Liverpool!"? It's the same thing....sorta.

It is pretty hilarious, in a sad sort of way, that the woman went and 'rounded up the boys.

Clarkson reads out their challenge while driving through the state of Alabama.

Clarkson: ?We should not be shot or arrested as we drive through the proud state of Alabama.?

Clarkson: ?But, we will get bonus points if we can get one of the others shot or arrested.?

Hammond: ?I don?t understand, how do we do that??

Clarkson: ?You will therefore decorate one another?s cars in such a way that to draw maximum attention to yourselves, in this bible bashing, deeply Redneck, Christian part of the union.?

Hammond: ?Decorate?. ?!?!?

Clarkson: ?I think what it means is we have to write slogans on the other ones car?

Hammond: ?To get them killed?

Clarkson: ?Yeah?


They then proceed to paint on each others cars with brightly coloured paint, offensive slogans against the redneck community.

Hammond?s car: In pink writing, ?Man-Love rules ok?. The head lights are also painted in pink with eyelashes painted on the bonnet. You?ve got to see it to believe it. :laugh:

Clarkson?s car: Written straight across each side of the car is the slogan ?Country western rubbish?, plus some other stuff.

James?s car: Written right across each side of his car is ?Hillary for president? and ?NASCAR SUCKS?


They then pull over into a petrol station to fill up their fuel, and all hell breaks loose when some rednecks turn up. They were chased out of the petrol station and had rocks thrown at them too. Along with other verbal abuse the camera men were also chased.

Funny guaranteed 😉
 
I enjoyed that!

If they REALLY wanted a reaction, they would have painted Lynyrd Synyrd is for fags" on the side of the thruck.

Every gun rack in the state would have been empty...

:laugh:

i think they were more pissed because they had to leave the comfy trailer in the middle of the springer show.
 
So do foreigners generally view the US as basically one country where we're all the same igorant, fat, incestful people? Or do they recognize that there's a world of differences between all the different parts?
