A funny phrase James May wrote on the side of Richard Hammond's pickup truck for the US Special of the BBC series Top Gear. This phrase became popular for them almost getting shot by people in Alabama. During a fuel stop they were confronted by "rednecks", who were offended by the slogans causing the crew and presenters to flee.
James May: *writes "Man Love Rules OK" on the side of Hammond's pickup truck*
Jeremy Clarkson: "what you've done James, is killed your friend..."
*later in Alabama*
Woman: Now, are y'all gay looking to see how long it takes to get beat up in a hick town?
Jeremy Clarkson: I am running for the border.
Richard Hammond: They could have killed us!
Jeremy Clarkson: I honestly believe that in certain parts of America now, people have started to mate with vegetables.
