The linked article has an instant poll: vote either for a woman or for Clarkson. Hardly scientific, but hey-ho. Currently at 76% Clarkson. Get in there mates.

As for my idea for replacing any of the trio would be a Green Party, anti car, anti bog paper and soap, puff. Who would get beaten up by the other two before the audience tear him/it limb from limb. It’s a real winner, ratings will soar, new export markets will open up, and our gene pool will benefit. Man, I gotta get some more bottles in.

“Top Gear is finally free of Jeremy Clarkson” this has to be a eulogy for the now departed programme as there can be no life in it sans Clarkson. What a stupid stupid statement even from a moron of this ilk! (Machine gun icon please…no double machine gun icon!)

Stupid though the suggestion of a woman may be Clarkson was stale and increasingly stupid. Maybe fewer but better programs would help – the car stuff was often very good but some of the side show paddings were pathetic. Clarkson did a very good program on PQ17 so it shows he can do respect and quality.

Who wouldn’t be waiting with baited breath to watch a de masculised, diversity aware, PC, gender neutral version of Top Gear. Of course “top” excludes the other gears which are all equally important and yet unique in their own way. We need to celebrate all the gears, equally and fairly whilst not making other transmission systems feel excluded. But then what about the drive shaft? Can we still say shaft and why isn’t there a drive fadge? Ok, here’s the format, we’ll have Dianne Abbot testing the new Eco-friendly, vegan peace Prius which is fuelled solely on self righteous smugness, whilst Tony Blair is the star in a reasonably priced car crash featuring a golf cart and a dry stone wall.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

  Wombat, that was a great post, what your probably not aware of is “couldn’t have said it better” is a 2003 meatloaf song. And meatloaf is male, so I just thought I’d add that in.
Warren Tooley says:

Well, their’s only one way to win with these people. To just not buy from them. If someone makes a petition saying we won’t watch until you get Jeremy back on, and if their is a big enough reduction, then they’ll rethink. And maybe Jeremy can do his own show, with a different network. Yes if the petition goes to enough people, the CW channel might take him on, or someone else.

Its all this gender neutrality nonsense. But its not about equity its about equality. That if people don’t get the exact same results and exact same money, this is now discrimination. This is what is really going on.

  Warren,I said it on the last post about this.Clarkson should do his own weekly show on Youtube.He could do it for beans and have total control over content.

    Ah yes, Darin you’ve obviously been doing some good thinking. Unfortunately I don’t think I look at that particular string. Yeah with the way technology is going, that’s a very real possibility. For instance if you want to write a book, you don’t need to get a publisher to approve. You can just do it by kindle. This is the way technology is going, so I’m not the least bit surprised that it could happen through You Tube.

Warren Tooley says:

Oh, and one of these days I’m going to spearhead ‘the men’s dignity league’, where anytime we are discriminated against in anyway, that business will be reported, and people will send emails saying we won’t buy from you, if we can get the same goods or services from someone else. They will be boycotted. We have this movement called empowering women which means give women positions whether they deserve it or not. Anyhow, I’m not sure what I’ll call it, and I don’t mind if someone else does it, but one of these days it will happen.

  I like this idea: How about the title being LOAM? League of Assertive Men. Loam has a double meaning too which gives it a nice productive feel.

    Well, it’s better than the night soil from the others. In fact, it’s a goer. We men do need to get some sort of not quite outrage going. Otherwise we are going to end up totally hag ridden. Not us, but our sons or our grandsons.

      March 31, 2015 at 11:48
      
      Yes Andy5759, we are being marginalised. My original idea was the ‘men’s antidefamation league’, but if people have got a better idea, let them go for it. And if anyone wants to set it up, let them.
  - Warren Tooley says:
    
    March 31, 2015 at 11:46
    
    Cadwallader, if it has league and it has men in it, I will be quite happy provided the purpose of it stays the same. Yes your right, assertive does have a double meaning.
  - Warren Tooley says:

…and people wonder why so many Western men are becoming Muslims – at least in Islam the man rules supreme and they kill socialists who toe the PC line.

A point these Little Leftie Girly Men should understand – If Islam takes over they will come first for the head of their former allies.
Warren Tooley says:

March 31, 2015 at 11:50

Yes Ronbo, and I probably think this is the whole reason it is happening. If they can get the father out of the family, its easy to take control over the rest.

I can’t see why you chaps wouldn’t want Top Gear segments on suitable child car restraints in the Testarossa 250GTO, the ghastly sexism in the Pirelli calendar, the effects of the “monthlies” when doing the school run in a Lotus or breast feeding while competing at Bathhurst. You are just soooo mean and anti wimmin.
- mawm says:
  
  March 31, 2015 at 17:23
  
  Just as we can’t see why Jeremy shouldn’t be doing a programme on female “does my bottom look big in this” insecurities. Can you imagine special features on “liposuction”, “dealing with wrinkles”, “is that a grey hair I see”, “my husband looked at a younger woman”, “how to dress your age”, etc.
  - Wombat says:
    
    April 1, 2015 at 10:07
    
    I’d certainly tune in to watch a segment relating to the level of engine vibration felt through the driver’s seat of various models…
    
    …and the cars they’re driving.
    
    For educational purposes.

The number of things men have left for entertainment is shrinking including now our car mags and shows.Everything is being invaded by wymen and motorsports are no exception.
Gawd girlies if you want to play car mag editor then start your own mag and leave ours alone.It’s not like a small forest isn’t cut down every week already to print that raft of clueless mush that are wymen’s mags.

I shudder at the thought of Hot rod mag or Motor trend being mushed down the way all our Woodworking and Science mags have.

  Darin, I haven’t changed my mind about the ‘men’s anti defamation league’ or something with a similiar name. However, these people have only shot themselves in the foot. What I mean is I have my favourite old TV shows, and old movies. Years ago, I saw the deterioration in shows. So I started to build up my dvd movie and tv show collection, and watch that more and more.
  
  When they started to say you need a freeview box to watch TV, I said fantastic, their’s so little worth watching anyways. So these silly people are making less and less money out of me. If enough people just did what I did, fired these feminist programs, maybe they would change their minds.
  
  In fact I did that with Hyundai. They had a degrading to men ad on You Tube. So I sent them an email saying I refuse to buy from you for at least ten years. Sure enough they made excuses. But within the next month, I noticed a change, their new ads were nicer to people. And that’s just one person.

I hope the other two join Clarkson when he gets signed up elsewhere, personally i don’t want anyone good to take his place, let Top Gear fall and a different privately funded program take off, like our ABC, screw the BBC as well.

On a side note, i sometimes wonder what’s the end point of all this “de-masculinising”, given how men are no longer allowed to say, can’t you just leave us alone, and how women have to be injected into every wretched sphere, everything has to be deballed and feminized or whatever; it can’t be a good thing for men in general.

But i suppose who cares about the men, but instinct tells me it won’t be altogether pleasant for women either.
