No. 5 celebrity that U.K. men most want to have a date with: The Top Gear crew?
No, really. At least according to Madbid.com, a British auction site (£1,000 cash for £8.06) that arranges celebrity auctions for charity. First, which celebrity topped the list? The sultry, three-kinds of sexy Megan Fox, of course. Second place was British singer/soccer wife Cheryl Cole, third place was Angelina Jolie and fourth place went to Katie Price, sort of a younger, trashier English version of Pamela Anderson with much larger breast implants.
But never mind any of that, the #5 celebrity that British men would most like to go on a date with? Jezza, Hamster and Captain Slow. That's right, the Top Gear gang. Hmmm. We know most Brit males have sexual predilections that would make us Yanks blush, but... a date with James May? Really? Here's an American top tip for our brothers in Old Blighty: instead of calling it a date, say "people you would most like to have a beer with."
This whole thing is reminiscent of a report from 2005 when 25% of UK men wanted Jeremy Clarkson in their passenger seat, compared to only 17% for Angelina Jolie. To paraphrase James May, "I've ridden with Jeremy – you're all daft."

Sorry, if I can't get it out of my head, then I'm not going to let you either!

Sit down at a pub and have a beer with these 3 guys? That would be awesome. I'd love to hear them talk about their experiences driving cars like the Zonda or the Atom on the track.

He did admit on the last episode that he was a bit of a

Implying kinda what we'd in the US would call 'white trash.'

I'd definitely sit in a pub and spend the evening with three. I met Clarkson back in '98 when he hosted TG with Tiff Needell and Quentin Willson. He's a top bloke!

I would choose the Top Gear folks as well.
Angelina may be interesting to speak with but Megan Fox and Katie Price date would just be boring - its not like they would jump into bed with some guy winning a charity auction (that would make them actual whores and not just apparent whores.).

It's a no brainer - you want someone interesting to talk to.

I would definitely want to hang out with the Top Gear guys as well.
Bring Sabine Schimtz as well.
Just don't call it a date... well the part with Sabine you can :)

Katie Price is way better than Pam Anderson. So i recent the "less than" feeling of the comment.
Now saying you would pay to have a date with the top gear crew, that is just gay!
(i intent to sound funny, i do not in any way, condone or judge the homosexual nature of anyone, and i support equal right for all men and women regardless of any sexual orientation)
If this was, "who would you like to work with?", yes no prob. Or who would you like to job swap? yeah sure. I understand people want to talk to these guys, but paying to have them talk to you and tuck you in with a nice story is a little too much.
Trow a super car breakfast, super car brunch, and super car tea and crumpets and i am all for it. Then latter that day go out on a date. Real date. The ones that include more . . . primeval activities. XD

i dont like cadillac, and i dont like these commercials. they recognize cliches just to refute them. i never knew how women picked their cars, but after hearing "how many cup holders it has" it kinda made sense. and i dont think women pick their cars based only on that. the add for sure made women talk more about the brand, but what kind of women?
has anyone seen any Mtv "reality" teen show? people just see and want and reproduce. The hand bag, the macchiato, the shades and the cellphone. While some do have the need, a lot just do it for the image. this comertial is the same. see, a woman that plays someone on tv. hear, what i think i can think for myself (but other wise would have never thought about cars or women kind).
for me this is the equivalent of putting bare naked women on male car commercial. while a lot of guys like women and cars, some think "oh. . . car. . . hot women. . . i have car. . . i have women" and they might not be so wrong, other people think "hey, she is laying on the paint. . . she is going to scratch the car. . . cant see the car!!!"
this is just a stupid rant. dont even respond to me. i am just tired. really tired. and i dont like cadillac or lincoln.

If I wanted to dumbed down like Top Gear viewers, I might as well watch the idiots on Fox News.

You're too dumbed-down already, to the point where you can't even type.

Did I read things right? Was Ken the first one to reply to his own comment? At least make an alt account if you're going to agree with yourself.
