I know it's fashionable to kick the BBC but that is not my main purpose. My main purpose is simply to ask why a state funded organisation is so happy to pay for the idiocy that is 'Top Gear' and its spin offs.
I don't like Jeremy Clarkson and positively despise Richard Hammond, but not because they are on the BBC or because they are in a programme that makes a lot of fuss about cars that most of us couldn't afford even if we were lucky enough to win the lottery. The reason I dislike them is that they are grotesquely overvalued morons.
Clarkson and Hammond have no talent whatsoever; they are simply annoying little trolls who have struck a note with a more modern generation which is fascinated by stupidity. They seem to believe that encouraging people to drive cars at silly speeds is a sensible thing to do; Hammond almost died doing just that and probably cost the NHS a fortune to keep him alive, and yet he still does the same idiotic things now. No sane organisation would allow this.
'Top Gear' belongs on some moron-dominated channel, not on the BBC, unless, that is, the BBC is a channel dominated by morons. Is it ?
