The editorial asides in this style of writing don't work for me. I know exactly what "drive a ballet dancer" means and don't find it at all clumsy. While I disagree with him, I also understand exactly why Jeremy Clarkson doesn't care about emissions and safety standards.

And yet in Clarkson's Farm, he bemoans about how impossible it is to be a farmer due to the weather changing and being more unpredictable then it used to be. It seems like he should care more then he appears to outside of that single show.
- strken 2y agoAnd yet you also understand exactly why Jeremy Clarkson doesn't care about emissions and safety standards, do you not? He is not factually wrong because it is not a factual question. He cares about different things to me, and in most modern cars those things have gotten worse. I dislike the style of writing where the author confidently states "Clarkson is wrong" about an entirely subjective experience. "Clarkson is happy to destroy the world as long as he's allowed to tear off in a 1980s Jag with a cloud of blue smoke in his wake" is a better description, is more critical of him, and would have worked a lot better for me.
