I don't believe the redneck attack was real either.
I mean, I can suspend disbelief during the show, but gathering enough blind faith to believe it was real in real life is a bit too much.
All three of the presenters, when asked directly if it was real or staged, have said it was real. That's good enough for me.
Good for you. Personally, I'd like to see the police report first.
Believe me, I still love that episode and enjoy it, I just don't believe that particular piece of it. It's not about making it more or less funny, just true or not. I didn't think twice about that part of the episode when I first saw it. I just laughed. It wasn't until I logged on here and read posts from people who were saying that they no longer want to visit America for fear that they'll get attacked too. That's when I started scratching my head and wondering why people were buying into it. I don't believe everything I see on TV. I believe very very little of it, in fact. Reality TV is a crock and even the media is a joke. TopGear has nothing to gain and much to lose by admitting this redneck attack was faked/exaggerated. It would upset some fans and further ruin TG's reputation, as well as, the reputations of three presenters who all stated it was true. Nothing good, nothing at all, could come from admitting it was fake. So it really doesn't surprise me that when asked point blank if that episode was real, they all of course said yes.I don't really think it is that necessary. The Top Gear presenters are usually forthright enough to admit when they are rubbish or not.
No need to 5th degree them, it wouldn't make the situation any less funny.
And you know this actually happened how? Other than what JC, RH and JM said, that is.What's really funny is that after airing that episode, the boys came back to America to film another segment and what did the government do with their documentary film permits? Revoked them. :lol: Well, more like threatened to revoke them, should they decide not to be factual... this time.
That, and common sense. Lying about their documentary program permits getting revoked if they aren't factual isn't going to make the segment any better. Or at least more controversial, which is what the show is famous for. If anything, it made that segment a bit worse, by TopGear's latest standards, since they really couldn't do whatever they wanted. If it was a lie, then it makes little to no sense. It wasn't a funny gag. Those blank screens that popped up whenever something cool was happening, just about ruined the whole segment for me, only that canyon road piece when James overtook Jeremy redeemed it.And you know this actually happened how? Other than what JC, RH and JM said, that is.
So is religion, but until it's possible to prove a negative, I guess we're screwed.No one knows anything for sure and this argument is welllll beyond bludgeoning a dead horse.

Actually, I've never thought about that. I always thought it was odd that the authorities would get upset about Jermey putting a cow on his car (the worst part of the episode in my book). It does strike me as more plausible that they got in trouble for faking the gas station incident, though I'm not saying definitively that they did.What's really funny is that after airing that episode, the boys came back to America to film another segment and what did the government do with their documentary film permits?

To add my own two cents to the Gas Sation scene ... TopGear fakes a lot for camera. No Secret there, no question. That wasn?t one of those faked scenes. Overexaggerated, one sided ... well possible that it?s that. But it?s not a fake.
I'm with kunedog! Seriously though, that was the shittiest episode special out of the lot, specifically because it was too "Here comes cletus and I'm a giant vagina top gear presenter crew, lets claim that the southerners were going to shoot us then rape us in our cabins like Deliverance."
Yeah i'd believe that. Were the probably heckled, undoubtedly. Stuff was probably thrown at them, but thats no worse than a English football game. Was there a full lynch mob out to get them, fuck no. I doubt a lynching has ever taken place in the history of the universe on a large group of white people with cameras. Lynchings pick on the weak and isolated, not a 10+person production crew.
