Shouldn't the Final Gear polls be more Top Gear?

jack_christie · July 15th, 2008, 11:02 AM

So shouldn't the final gear polls have more of a top gear flavour?

11 - Sub Zero
10 - Cool
09 - Beckinsale (can't drive !)
08 - Silverton
07 - Scarlett
06 - Portman
05 -
04 - Uncool
03 -
02 - Seriously Uncool
01 - Carolla
00 - Cock
-1 - Ken Livingston
-9 - George Bush

Fill in the blanks____

Funny, but just adds unneeded confusion.

Ironlord · July 15th, 2008, 01:51 PM

Besides, it should be 10 that's sub-zero, so 11 can be the DB9 Section.

for the 03 i recomend the 'Amy Winehouse'

V2.0

11 - DB9
10 - Sub Zero
09 - Cool
08 - Beckinsale (can't drive !)
07 - Silverton
06 - Scarlett
05 - Portman
04 - Uncool
03 - Winehouse
02 - Seriously Uncool
01 - Carolla
00 - Cock
-1 - Ken Livingston
-9 - George Bush

Just an attempt at crossing the top ten with the cool wall headings.

So not only have we proven it to be confusing, we've also proven it to be subjective.

Next please images/smilies/tongue.gif

Addendum/Erratum: I think it would work if you had a numbering system next to it to unconfuse those that would be confused (like myself). You could also do TG quotes instead of the cool wall scale and do something like

5. "I need to pull off at the services"
4. <couldn't think of anything for very good>
3. <couldn't think of anything for average>
2. "Rubbish"
1. "Yes so we've replaced it with this bucket of horse manure... because that's what this <topic-related thing> is"

It should actually be 09 as that's the year she'll finally die.. But that would be confusing.

Yeah lets turn every thread about the show into a political statement, because everybody shares your same views right images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

Nothing to do with politics, but everything to do with Top Gear. Jezza always pokes fun at America, putting the American map in the bin (his talk show) and after the American special the Top Gear Top Tip was don't go to America images/smilies/wink.gif

Lighten up!

Fuck you guys, Natalie Portman should be 126,376,325. Or at least 12 on that scale. images/smilies/dry.gif

Anybody who's that gorgeous AND writes psychology research papers for her alma mater, Harvard, deserves to be at the top of the charts.

Lighten up!

If it had "everything to do with top gear" Bush wouldn't make the list. He rarely talks about him and his America comments are based on the country as a whole, not the leader (Bush isn't overweight who wants cheese with everything).

Ken Livingston, Richard Brunstrom, and Alistair Darling all get 100x the hatred that Bush does so don't try to act like putting Bush at -9 wasn't based on your own views.

Leave the political potshots to the political forum

Maurice Gatsonides, on the other hand, doesn't. This needs to be rectified. For those of you unsure of his legacy, there's a clue in the name. Or you could just use Google.

So now we should only be allowed to mention Darth W in the political forum images/smilies/bangin.gif

The only reason he is on the list was he was the first celebrity with a popularity rating approaching the the stench of fresh horse manure that I thought of. Nothing more sinister that that. No mention of doubling the price of oil, sending the world economy into meltdown etc.........

That statement perfectly proves Seasonone's point to be correct.
