Pretty soon they'll complain that there isn't a 50/50 male to female split of ***** models.

Fine, if it's bikinis you want to look at. But it's Top Gear's job to review cars, not swimsuits. You hire car evaluators for their brains, not necessarily looks. Denise McCluggage, for example, is an exellent female car reviewer (she does a regular column called "Drive, She Said", for those of you who read it), but you (probably) wouldn't want to see her in a bikini.

How about Sabine, the Queen of the Ring? She's been on the show before, and she drives like a maniac.

I vote Danica, except she has to drive wearing this:

Danica's a good racing driver, but how good she would be at reviewing typical street cars remains to be seen. (Of course, so was Denise McCluggage....she was good at both).

Like the other guys do any actual reviews. It's just entertainment. When we want to read an actual review, we read yours.

Why don't they just hire a hot anchor/reporter like Megyn Kelly or Erin Andrews? Nothing like fast cars and loose woman...........

White men hire other white men (most of the time, not all obviously) that's why this legislation is being proposed. It's all about evening out that gender-wage gap.


...and if there were a man on the View I still wouldn't watch it.

but that's the point - this legislation would, i guess, require a show like the view to have a man... which makes it a STUPID LAW.

i bet if a top gear like show were created with all female (and of course good looking ) cast, it would be a hit!

Like I said earlier, it only punishes white males as always.

Cause white males have so many problems.

White males will be fine. Trust me, I've studied this. I enjoy the irony that the white male with children is viewed as a compotent, reliable, devoted worker because he has responsibility at home. Meanwhile the white mother with children is seen as a liability and a burden because she has responsibility at home.
