why extreme channel fucked up the Gumball
I’ve been following the Gumball 3000 since 1999, when you had to dig out home videos on the net, taken from inside super cars driving at 180km in a 50km speed limits, through countries that don’t even have a name anymore, by drivers & passengers coked up to their eyeballs, with hookers in the back seats and no idea where they are going.
Glory days - participants who had more money than they had sense in full on supercars: rich Arabs, record label owners, ex-kgb, gangsters, drug dealers, the legendary hacker Kimble and the odd actor or two. Throw in the ex-jackass crew or the Cuban brothers, the best hotels filled with strippers, pornstars and more coke & booze and you’ve got yourself a rock star, TV-out the window, type boiling pot that’s teetering on the edge of lawlessness, give them video cameras and film the whole thing and put that on fucking TV.
Now, i get some Grub Smith wannabe, Ed Leigh, on an “challenge adventure” V Alex Roy, who used to be worthy of respect.
Don’t make me fucking laugh.
