OK, I don't like the way Christians are portrayed in this video. But can laugh along with it just the same. The Top Gear guys are hilarious. Anyway, touches on some issues I keep seeing here. So why not take a humorous look at it?

I am speechless... :-\ A most distressing commentary on the state of our society. The only thing missing was a witch burning.

I watched the program in the UK... I have to say that I was shocked by the reaction they got.
In the UK and Europe it would have been laughed off as a joke.
It amazes me that there are people who are that insecure that they have to react like that. Especially in America.

Welcome to America! yea... we'll take the homeless, tempest tossed... but put a fiesty Brit in a car and we'll stone the hell out of him!
This makes me embarrassed to be an American tonight. The video might be funny if it weren't so true.

I watched this and almost pee'd myself I was laughing so hard. Could there be a better representation of the "redneck" southern mentality? Absolutely hilarious....sad because it's true but absolutely hilarious that somebody put this together to SHOW it.

I just spent the last 4 years in Mississippi with a "F the President" bumper sticker.
This is not a joke. This IS what Southerners are like!
