Hence why I'm really not looking forward to the American version. Leno should have and would have hosted it, but he turned it down because being sponsored, it couldn't be objective. What a shame. Usually I'm against public funding for stuff, but when its public funding of turning cars into space shuttle replicas and launching it, throwing cars off a cliff and shooting them on the way down, racing boats, trains, and planes in supercars, and burning rubber around a track in a "reasonably priced car", then shoot, I'd be much more willing to fork over my tax dollars.
