#fifthgear — Public Fediverse posts

Watching this show #TopGear not to be confused with #5thGear #FifthGear ... wait. I am watching #5thGear. not #TopGear. anyway. these shows are from circa 2010's i suppose. They're both #British productions which focus on testing vehicles like #Mercedes / #BMW sedans, #Porsche sports cars etc, but you'll see them-- esp "5th Gear" (the lesser $$ cost / celeb prod. vs Joey from Friends),

So this segment is about #smartcar

He said, "If Judge Dredd were #gay , he' drive a #Crossblade "

I don't think i fit into the contemporary definition of the word #gay , but replace it with #Italian #Christian #Jewish #straight #scizophrenic ...
It's just rude. I get it. it's supposed to be a fun, and entertaining show.

But where is the cutoff?

It was probably a fun segment to watch! But instead, i spent the entire remainder of the program and more, because i wanted to share that I was disgusted by the commentary enough to turn it off, when I was interested in the content/ subject.
That's terrible. And that's a 15-yr old show.
That's messed up.
