Top Gear may seem a bit irresponsible but God bless them for it. Most kiwis of a certain age are still red blooded and are sick and tired of the PC world we are forced to live in.

Top Gear is just about the only anti PC program on TV these days so let's soak it up.

It is nonsense to presume that such program will negatively influence the younger drivers because in the first place they don't watch TV much and then further the death toll on the roads these days is not as high as it was before Top Gear arrived on the TV scene which totally negates any belief that Top Gear is a negative influence on any driver on the road today.

So Ernie let's thrive on a bit of anti PC behaviour on TV and try to emulate their behavior in other directions and drive political correctness from our lives forever. Lets become a race of red blooded Kiwis again and drive the PC brigade into a sea of oblivion.

As for the pollution forget it. There are swamps in the world that release more Co2 into the air every hour of every day than all the cars that have been built since Henry first let one loose.

If one wants to think about pollution just stop for a minute and think about the unimaginable tons and tons of horse droppings and urine that were dropped on the streets before the automobile age. Hey those horses farted and belched too. Just as well for those horses there was no PC brigade round in those days or those poor horses would have soon had their throats slit to stop pollution and the meat sold to supermarkets.
