These guys have got balls! Friggin funny!

1. just a quote

"The tendency of the casual mind is to pick out or stumble upon a sample which supports or defies its prejudices, and then to make it the representative of a whole class." - Walter Lippman

[Pharaoh]

2. sorry sleebarker

It's just a little humorous and I am not making fun of the entire region, I love the south and will be driving through it next month. But you have to admit there are some areas of the planet that have more than their share of scary people.

[OwnedByFerrets]

4. Yes, like Washington.

Those are much more dangerous than ANYONE in the south. And sometimes, seemingly more stupid.

[tbyg52]

45. Any single R in DC

is definitely more dangerous than any single R in the South, but it's the large number of R's in the South that put them there. (For the record, I'm in Texas.)

I'm currently reading this:
http://www.amazon.com/Foxes-Henhouse-Republicans-Heartland-Democrats/dp/0743286529/sr=8-1/qid=1171413457/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-9255132-5708657?ie=UTF8&s=books
which has some theories about how the R's took over the South. (Basically by divisiveness, scapegoating, and pandering to prejudice, to cut to the chase.... ;) )

[sui generis]

12. actually, if that woman did call "her boys" to go beat someone up

it's on camera and it's a serious crime. I wonder where that station is exactly . . . anyone know?

Damn I wish I'da been there. Break one hick in half, rip his quivering liver out through his rectum, and the rest will shit themselves and run away. These people really really REALLY hate gays, like, to death.

Those slack jawed hammer toe no neck drop chinned loose nostril nuclear lipped inbred yokels need to run into someone meaner than them; it would be good for their collective mental illness.

6. I have lived my old life in Alabama and I thought that this little video

capture perfectly the general population of Alabamians that I have known. If you do not think that those yahoos at that filling station were representative of typical, rural Alabamians, then you don't know this area very well...

[Arkansas Granny]

10. They would have received the same reaction in any number of

southern states. It may be hard for people who are unfamiliar with the south to believe it, but I'm from the south and I could see this very same thing happening in small towns around here.

[Moloch]

7. As someone who lived in Alabama for 5 years....

I can tell you first hand that the overwhelming majority of white Alabamians are crude, narrow-minded bigots.

[MethuenProgressive]

33. I think "Nascar Sucks" is what really pissed 'em off!

:rofl:

[phantom power]

3. They really didn't seem to get it. They were messing with America's Taliban.

[Mich Otter]

55. messing with America's Taliban?

Otherwise known as the American Tali-Baptists.

[Moloch]

5. LOL

Alabama really is the shame of the nation.

[Dhalgren]

8. In many ways, no doubt. But there is one thing about the

deep south that may be even more different than other parts of the country - and that is its extremes. In the South if you are a leftist, you tend to be way left; and conversely, if right, way right (and there are more of them). Southern Baptist or atheist, KKKer or Commie...

[corkhead]

29. I live in rural Michigan, and I can assure you that we have our share up here too...

[Gelliebeans]

31. When we moved to Michigan

about 15 years ago from California the second morning after arriving we came out to our new driveway and found our California license plates (both cars) bent all of shape. How was that for a welcome? Eeeek.

We moved back home 9 months later. I was never so happy to see California again in all my life.

[peacebuzzard]

9. I had a very good laugh. (I claim a res in the south)

as one who has paid taxes and picked up mail in the south for almost 30 years, I think it was very typical and very hilarious......(in particular the off road service station. That lady who came charging out of the convenience store and was going to "get the boys" LOL!!!!!!)

[brazos121200]

11. This is a true story. Back in 1965 a friend and I were travelling

through Alabama on our way from Texas to Georgia. We stopped at a restaurant to get something to eat and noticed a group of men looking at us strangely, so we asked the waitress what was going on. She said that they were checking us out because of our Texas license plates. This was right after the violence in Selma, and during the civil rights freedom riders. The men were mad at Lyndon Johnson for the civil rights laws being passed at that time, so naturally they thought were were personal friends of Lyndon since were were from Texas. We drove on and arrived at our destination OK, but thinking back on it years later, we could have been lynched or shot right then and there on that trip. I don't think we realized at the time what danger were were really in. Now, Texas is as bad as Alabama ever was, that's for sure, Bush has done that for us.

[gratefultobelib]

13. Well, I loved it! Those Brits have chutzpah out the wazoo!

[zbdent]

14. Did anybody notice that they only got their courage when the self-described

hicks numbered more than the soon-to-be victims? "I'm gonna git my boys!" - all she had to do was point out that they were not welcome and that she would refuse to sell them "petrol" (if she understood that word ...)

And I bet that they probably bragged about how some wimpy (yeah, right - I saw that woman - she could give Stone Cold Steve Austin a run for his money) woman chased away all them "northern faggot libruls" away with just a glance ...

Yup ... southern hospitality ... and they bitch because someone comments on the "Confederate flag" on their wooden bumper ...

[CoffeeCat]

27. LOL!!! "Wooden bumper"

You made me laugh out loud!

:rofL:

Glad, I wasn't drinking my coffee at the time.

[TygrBright]

15. Best line is the kicker:

"I always will believe now that in certain parts of America people have started to mate with vegetables."

Sort of says it all.

Oh, and BTW, those parts are NOT all in the South. There's some in every state.

unbiasedly,
Bright

[tavalon]

44. Yeah, I often wonder if America has more than her fair share of yahoos

or as I shall henceforth call them, vegetable maters.

[zbdent]

52. I think I saw that vid on Myspace

The "mating with vegetables" vid ... wait a minute, now I remember why that woman looked familiar ...

[Red Zelda]

16. Summer's comin'

...what's the bag limit on dumb, white crackers???

[Hav]

17. .

Funny yeah, but in a way also scary that one still could get close to facing a lynching in some parts of the "land of the free" by good Christians for having done nothing more than messages on a car like Hillary for Pres, Nascar sucks or begin gay. And this is fueled by the hateful and divisive politics of the Repugs who don't care about what the victims have to go through.

[OneBlueSky]

18. grades for these guys . . . Balls - A+ . . . Brains - F . . . that is all . . . n/t

.

[underpants]

19. Funny but I don't buy it

Believe nothing you read and only half of what you see

[liberal N proud]

20. They are just lucky to escape with their lives

[LiberalVoice]

21. Top gear is awesome.

Fantastic show from England. Plays on the Discovery channel here in America.

[NobleCynic]

37. Thanks for naming the show

I had to read all the way through the thread to here just to see where this was from.

[LiberalVoice]

50. Glad I could help. nt

:)

[nxylas]

22. Ironic that it should be Top Gear

That is probably the most "redneck" program on British television. The people who tend to watch it are the same people that love NASCAR here in the States.

[LiberalVoice]

23. I watch it.

And I hate NASCAR. :shrug:

[ewagner]

24. ahhhh...Sir?

I admire your courage

but

question your judgement.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

25. OMFG EFFING HALIRIOUS!!...those are some crazy fools

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[CoffeeCat]

26. I haven't laughed that hard...

...in a long time.

That was brilliant, and it didn't take long for the stone-throwers to
descend on them.

"They've shot their own sign! What are they going to do to us?"

LOL

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

(((((still laughing)))))

[phatkatt]

28. I live in Alabama and am not surprised.

But remember, this is RURAL Alabama. You could drive around my neighborhood for a few days and get nothing worse than a one-finger salute (but then I live in one of the more liberal places in AL).

Sadly, the worst reaction would be to the "Hillary For President".

Also, he mentioned running for the border. Do you really think it would be better in rural Geaorgia, or rural Mississippi, Florida (panhandle), or Tennessee?

BTW, Alabama makes Tennessee look open-minded (I've lived in both).

[Poll_Blind]

30. I am not particularly surprised by the hicks' reactions. Real hicks...

...have display no reluctance in showing off their idiocy, tooling it around and doing donuts on the lawn in the bitchin' Camaro of ignorance they so covet.

32. K&R

:rofl:

[kdpeters]

34. Let's label this what it is - bigotry. What next? Fag jokes?

Is bigotry wrong or does it depend on other factors?

I for one have about had it up to my snout with anti-Southern and anti-rural bigotry as well as anti-San Francisco bigotry. It's bigotry plain and simple.

[Pharaoh]

35. ?

??????????????????????????????

[brentspeak]

36. As someone from the northeast, I'm offended by anti-south jokes

I don't find "let's thumb our noses at the backwards Philistines" topics or jokes funny at all. The people behind the jokes -- and those that laugh at them -- are the same type of self-appointed cultural superiors who walk around wearing carrying-pouches around their waists, who wear spandex bicycle pants, and have a latte shoved up their butts.

[kdpeters]

38. Thank you, friend. I truly appreciate your decency. --eom--

[Pharaoh]

39. ?????

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[kdpeters]

42. You're gonna LOVE this one -- Promise!!

Instead of Brits -- he's a Jew.
Instead of Southern folk, he taunts African Americans.
But the idea is the same--Southern folk, black folk -- all the same to you, no?

I think it's disgusting exploitation of bigotry, but you might like it.

[rman]

51. It's not a joke - it's realitty

[cjmastaw]

54. OH... you just can't take a joke... now i get it

[AX10]

40. kick

[chefgirl]

41. Wow

That has got to be one of the funniest videos I've seen.

Good ole Ala-fuckin-bama!

Sorry to you Southerners, but I lived down there for 7 years, first Florida and then South Carolina, and I have to admit, I was NEVER happier to get out of anyplace in my life.

"The boys" they spoke of, are everywhere down there. No denying it. It's like another planet. Gives me chills up and down my spine just thinking about it. :scared:

43. Top Gear Blog about the Video.

[Wrinkle_In_Time]

46. To the 'Top Gear' haters on this thread...

... what you don't see in that snippet is what happened later in that same episode when they reached their destination in Louisiana. They showed and commented on the utter destruction wrought by hurricane Katrina in 2005 and just how little had been done by the U.S. government to help the people there. Then they tried to give their vehicles away to people that needed them. It was quite a powerful segment.

The part of the trip shown in that snippet was when they were challenged to cross Alabama without being shot or arrested while having somewhat inflammatory words written on their vehicles. The producers anticipated a reaction. I think they were surprised by how ugly it was.

[kdpeters]

49. But this thread isn't about what wasn't shown

The producers anticipated a reaction. I think they were surprised by how ugly it was.

Did you view "The Amazing Racist"? Were you surprised at how ugly an African-American man reacted when some jerk brought a klan robe in to be dry cleaned? You know, there are certainly lots of black people in the south who are similarly ill educated, but similar derision and taunts would be clearly racist and provoke howls of outrage from those who are now laughing. I asked a simple question. Is this kind of bigotry OK? Is bigotry wrong, or does it depend on other factors?

I'm a southern boy, but I live now in San Francisco. Is the right wing innuendo about "San Francisco values" just as fine as anti-Southern smears? I'm trying to figure out just who it's OK to dehumanize.

[TheBaldyMan]

53. they named the entire production crew 'Billy Bob'

to be honest, if that was a set-up it wouldn't be the first time I've seen an item on Top Gear and thought that something smelled a bit fishy.

[bridgit]

47. they ain't called 'mad dogs & englishmen' for nothng...

:)

[madfloridian]

48. LOL

Ok, that's funny.

:rofl:
