I don't think you are familiar with what Top Gear is... You don't think there is any trickery going on here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TbpgZ2Dt0A ?

Sometimes they fabricate things to make an awesome car look awful, sometimes they fabricate to make a mediocre car look awesome.

The common denominator is that they fabricate for the sake of entertainment. Anybody who actually watches the show would know and embrace that.

I am well aware of what Top Gear is, and that's why I stopped watching it almost as soon as I started, and wondered why the hell anyone else watches it, either. I don't think establishing a past pattern of lies is an excuse for future lies, nor do I think lies presented as facts are "entertaining" in the least. They're just lies, nothing more, nothing less, and they and their peddlers should be treated as such.
