Clarkson is awesome. Interestingly, his 'give me my freedom' bent would put him at good stead with those types from alabama who ran him out of town.

- gort 17y agoFor those who find this comment cryptic: Clarkson is one of a trio of presenters on BBC TV show "Top Gear". They do various challenges on their show. Once, in a special where they drove across America, the challenge was to get each other "shot or arrested" by painting slogans on each others' cars. While they were driving across Alabama. The slogan that attracted most ire was not "Hilary for president" or "manlove rules OK" but "NASCAR sucks!" And so a mob ran them out of one particular town. Apparently. Incidents on the show have been known to be staged from time to time, so I can't say with complete confidence whether this actually occurred.
- HeyLaughingBoy 17y agoI'm pretty sure that I read later that the event was staged.
