OK, buying a C7 won't get me in my sister's pants(a pink Prius would have a better chance) but would go a long way towards my sister-in-law. I think that is reason enough not to buy one.

Here let me show you how your sense of "sarcasm" works.


I think your a pomous d!ck. - The insult

Not only that, I think your reasoning makes you an excuse making d!ck. - Reaffirmation

But defending there "humor" just proves what a giant focking d!ck you are- Reacurring insult.

Oh yeah Its my sarcastic humor and your a d!ck for not getting it.

An insult is an insult.
No, you just don't understand sarcasm.

Those "insults" in the Alabama episode was sarcasm, because they were intended to rile up people, not because they actually believed what they wrote on their cars. In other words "make fun of". You on the other hand, believe that I am a d!ck, therefore you are insulting rather than using sarcasm. So yeah, you don't get sarcasm, so we'll leave it as that.

I'll leave you with 2 questions:

1. what does a comedian do if you take away his ability to "make fun of" people?
2. how does someone hate American cars, and yet buy one of the most expensive American cars twice (the Ford GT)?

I'm curious to know your answer.

And if they constantly feel the need to be "sarcastic" about American cars, then that is a bias, as I mentioned in my first post in this thread.

So have fun dishing out your internet insults that don't even address the point we are making.
see post above. There is a bias toward American sarcasm, not a bias against American cars. The Alabama episode mentioned above is proof of this: Clarkson loves making fun of Americans; since it is a car show, therefore cars are the primary subject of his sarcasm.

Americans like you don't understand sarcasm, that's what makes you attractive targets to someone who does.
