So we've all heard some people claim Top Gear has mystical brainwashing powers that cause mild-mannered law-abiding citizens to become raging lunatics who try to go 300 mph in their Focuses.
Which says more about their maturity, mental acuity, and critical thinking ability than anything else. Apparently they feel compelled to mimic whatever they see on the flickering box in their living rooms, so they assume everyone else has those same urges.
Back to the point: Why are they going out of their way to ignore what the show has done to SAVE lives?
If Top Gear didn't exist, or if the government drones got their way and forced the stunt to be called off, Richard Hammond wouldn't have had his accident. Which means the air ambulance service would never have had a windfall so huge that they can now cover their operating costs AND buy a second helicopter.
So while the whining, hand-wringing bureaucrats have been warning people about the dangers of windows and doors, Top Gear has--in a matter of days--made an infinitely greater contribution to health & safety than they could ever imagine. What a surprise.
