Video: Jeremy Clarkson says 4X4 = uncool, bad sex?
In the video above, Jeremy Clarkson, host of the popular English car show Top Gear, removes all the four by fours from the cool part of the Top Gear cool board. His reason? Cars are all about getting women and socialist women, who he claims are better in bed, don't like four by fours. Here are his exact words:
We're beginning by moving all the four wheel drive cars down. All of them are doing down... Times have moved on, Richard, 21st century and all that. ... No, listen, I agree with you, I agree, I am sure with most people here, that four by fours are not killing polar bears but. ... cars are all about pulling women, for us obviously, yes, do you know what I mean, for blokes, it's what it's all about. You are not going to pull socialist women with these because they don't like them. ... socialist women are better in bed than Tory women. ...They're not cool anymore, driving around in them, They're just not.
Jeremy also compares Vanessa Redgrave to another woman I did not recognize. He may be kidding because he says he is going to celebrate moving 4X4s down the board by getting a Range Rover. Also, in the video he uses a chainsaw on the board and describes a very strange kind of meter. Anyway, I guess green's (or, apparently, socialist green women's) disdain for 4X4 vehicles has reached even Jeremy Clarkson. Wonder what Clarkson thinks of these.

you don't watch Top Gear yourself, do you?
You seem to be pretty oblivious to Mr Clarksons style of .. humour or whatever. I myself find him outrageously funny, but that's because I'm not in the UK myself, so he's this irrelevant figure that says stupid things.

Michael, I do actually. BBC America. Even his co-hosts say he's stupid sometimes but in a frank uncle sort of way, he is not unknown and I think he represents a lot of people. He's right about SUVs too, they have just lost a bit of coolness, sexyness. Even if you are not green, it's just not the same as a few years ago. Coming from Clarkson (he HATES the Prius, Smart, green rules, global warming, etc) I think it's worth mentioning.

Man that guy towers over his audience. It didn't take too much digging to find that he's 6'5" (from imdb.com). No wonder he can touch his head to the head-liner of a G-Wiz.

It's better to download off the internet uncut. BBCA cuts about 15 min out of the show for ads. Clarkson's no greeny but very funny.

Clarkson is like Limbaugh and Crowell - entertains with their amazingly inept speech.

"He may be kidding because he says he is going to celebrate moving 4X4s down the board by getting a Range Rover."
Its a long running joke on the show that any car that Clarkson owns isn't cool, so since 4x4's are now un-cool, he can have one.

Umm...
I don't want to rain on your parade, but he said that a few years ago. Can't remember when, but a couple of years ago at least.
In the current series there is no cool wall, on account of it ironically being burned in the warehouse fire.

Alright, maybe my perception of time's a little wonky...

although they did another 4x4s are stupid thing this season: they proved you don't need one for suburbia by driving across Botswana in regular, non-4x4 cars.
