And just to add ... I was watching an episode just last night on BBC America, where Clarkson was test driving a Ford Lightening F-150 pickup somewhere in the UK and was wondering why Americans like pickup trucks. He mentioned something like, ' ... when they are driving around in the country, doing whatever Americans do - probably incest ... ', etc. Man - I don't care what kind of humor anyone is talking about, that is just plain insulting!

I really wonder if he would have the guts to utter some of these, "humorous", comments while he is in the U.S., in front of Americans? I doubt it, and frankly, I'm surprised BBC America allows that sort of dribble to be exported. How would the Brits feel if Americans were making the same type comments about them on shows exported to the U.K.?

End of Rant
