Nazis Try to cancel TopGear

Typically when something slightly dodgy happens the grannies and Politicians kick off in a "ra ra ra that should be banned" etc. The rather spectacular crash of Richard Hammond is no exception. The crash taking place at Elvington airfield, near York (check me out im blogging with facts) in a Vampire Dragster and just under 300Mph, has caused the anti fun brigade to call for a TopGear to be canceled.

Darren put it quite well in the petition

Top Gear is a brilliant piece of educational programming, and clearly far more interesting than the glut of rubbish otherwise filling the schedules. A tyre can burst on anyone on any motorway, maybe ban motorways too? Or cars all together ay? Hamsters a genius!

To: The BBC

Since Richard Hammond's crash on Wednesday 20th September, numerous politicians, action groups and random people in the street have called for Top Gear to be pulled off the air at last, stating that it sets a bad influence.

Jeremy Clarkson has written an article here:

In it he states that Hammond did get training, and that it looks like the main cause of the accident was a burst tyre (which, obviously, no one can prepare for) AND he says that Hammond knew the risks and still went for it.

We who sign this petition may be fans of Top Gear, might be fans of the Presenters, or might just think that this quality program is well worth a small portion of their TV License fee.

No matter who we are, we firmly believe that Top Gear should be kept on our screens and should be allowed to make more seasons of high quality, top speed enjoyment.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

Boot note:
Any one see the new series of 5th Gear? Tim Lovejoy what were they thinking. Highly reccomend you remove this from you Sky+ / Tivo immediately.
