Top Gear - Clarkson is an American

I made this video after I was sick in bed all weekend, and spent the time watching old Top Gear episodes. I got bored, and started editing together all the times they contradicted themselves. (e.g. saying that it wouldn't be possible to build the veyron/later praising the it, criticizing diesels/praising a specific diesel, etc.) That turned into a very long, monotonous and pointless video. I cut it down until all that was left were these American-related clips. I was amused by the video, but it apparently upset many teenage fanboys.

-----------------

The hostile comments were getting annoying, so I blocked them for a few months. I also deleted the vast majority of the original comments. Now I've changed the settings so that I can approve comments.

So what did I delete? I took out the spam-like comments from fundamentalists trying to save you, idiots blaming Clarkson for the BP oil spill, and anything else that looked unrelated. I removed the pointless edits from Grammar Nazis. I deleted "corrections" from ill-informed people who are confusing forced induction of air with the resulting ability to add more fuel to a system. (They work together, but they're not the same thing.) I also removed the comments from hormonal teenage boys who are obsessing about Carol Vorderman. (That was Series 3, Episode 9.)

Most importantly, I took out MANY comments from Top Gear fanboys who can't take a joke. Yes, I'm an American who made fun of Jeremy Clarkson. That doesn't mean that I have a thin skin, that I'm angry about what he says, that I am "too stupid to recognize humor," etc. All it means is that I was bored, and I made a video....one that you didn't find funny. I'm OK with that.
