   What kills me about this bit is that Robles has the worst English accent ever and that is classic!

   LMAO – Yes, Julio! That was part of the gag, Mate! Hope you liked my back drop as well! Mr. Bean & Russell Brand.

   Brilliant, especially using those dubious pillars of British humor, Hill and Atkinson, as judges.

   Thanks for running with this, Julio. Normally, I’m an anglophile, but these louts, these oafs, are getting the whack upside the head they deserve.

   What bothers me just as much is the tee-heeing peanut gallery in the background. I’d like to think in a US audience, there’d be a few gutsy boos.

   Cheers, mate.

     Thanks, Hal! I think Mike did a great job with it and and as fellow anglophile, I love for the days of the Ministry of Silly Walks. Make sure others see the vid?

     Thanks, Hal!

     I couldn’t resist Hill and Atkinson in the mix!
     Thank you, for noticing ALL my messages in this video!
     Brilliant, you are, Sir!

   The Chorizo Award is priceless, Mike. Thanks for bestowing on the Top Gear crew. It’s a trophy they so richly deserve.

     We think so! Mike outdid himself with this one. Clever commentary. Here’s to Latino wit.

     Thank you, Raul! It’s the 2nd time, I have awarded the prestigious, Chorizo Award. The other being, Soledad O’Brien. Nothing would be better than to be able to hand it to the “3 Pendejos”, personally!

       Here is to the 3 Pendejos! That’s Spanish for TV Hosts, right?

   I just called La Real Academia Espanola, that you well know is in charge of protecting the Spanish language, and they told me they were officially including “Pendejos” as the loose translation for “TV Hosts that screw up badly” after they saw Mike’s video.
   Great job!!!

     PapiJulio!! That is history in the making! Real Academia Espanola adding the word “Pendejo”, after watching my video.
     I am truly, honored!

       Yup, they are sending you a royal RAE seal that says Pendejo. LOL

   Look it’s a comedy show about cars. If you watch the show on a regular basis they make fun of everybody. Even Brits with bad teeth, the queen, etc… Take it for what it is a joke. My Mexican pride wasn’t damaged by the “tortilla” car or being lazy. Also, c’mon… Mexico is not known for building exotic, fun, fast, safe cars. Even though some American cars were built in Mexico, they r still American engineered. Sorry. How bout this guy focuses on the drug cartels beheading, shooting, and raping it’s citizens of what little freedom they have left.

     Thanks for your comment. You kind of confirm what we have been saying for months. As for the Mexican drug war, we are with you. The media has done shit about it. Time magazine finally covered it. Let’s hope.
