WTF, you seriously think that he's genuinely dead? :confused::confused::confused:

The "black" Stig was Perry McCarthy, an F1 racing driver. He was "written-off" because his identity was revealed. Of course it's a fvcking joke. Don't you think it would have been on the news if he was truly dead? It wouldn't have been a "top-of-the-hour" headliner, but it would have been mentioned.

:roll:

It's just Googer. He also doesn't believe in basements, and I'm pretty sure his parents are related by blood.

- M4H

He... doesn't believe in basements....? :confused:

As in, they don't exist?

A little late to the game are we?

And plus most of us don't live in England, Americans would not hear of the death of a "stig".

It was a well needed roasting though. I didn't think anyone would be stupid enough to believe that he really died.

Proof please! (news article, obiturary, press release(s), etc)

lol some people have such a hard time with british humor. if the show was made in america they would have to say "We're just kidding, he's not really dead. See? Here he is with a copy of today's newspaper. Please don't sue us for causing mental anguish.

QFT.

You guys are fvcking gullible, and really don't have a clue about subtle humour. Unless it's got a bunch of canned laughter, a comedy drum clash and a neon sign flashing saying "THIS IS A BLOODY JOKE, IT'S TIME TO LAUGH NOW!" it totally goes over your head.

Why would you think the BBC would openly show a terrible accident on TV?

Complete tards, I swear.

this is why they remade "The Office" for american audiences. They had to dumb it down a bit :disgust:
