As widely reported in the media this week, James May was spotted in Iceland days before the volcano eruption that paralysed British air space.
Today, experts worldwide have rushed to blame TopGear for the holiday-ruining cloud of ash and doom sweeping over the UK.
According to local media, the shaggy-haired television presenter was witnessed driving a modified Hilux to the rim of the Eyjafjallajoekull volcano last week.
Though initially assumed that he was simply filming a feature for the the popular motoring television show, it has since been speculated that May’s purpose was far more devious.
“It has been scientifically proven that TopGear is responsible for almost every evil in the modern world, so the eruption of a furious tectonic force barely a week after Richard Clarkson’s ‘visit’ can hardly be viewed as mere coincidence,” says media commentator Annalisa Kneejerk.
“We have it on good authority that Jeremy Hammond drove one of his favourite Ferrari gas-guzzlers at 100mph, straight into the main magma chamber, which could quite easily have caused this geological catastrophe. Thankfully I’ve never watched the show.”
In other news, a government committee has blamed TopGear for the eco-unfriendly image of motorsports in the UK.
For the original story, head to Icelandic site MBL.

I heard that wasn’t really a volcano. Sources tell me that was actually the newest Bentley in disguise. They are approximately the same size after all.

Saw Jeremy on Jonathon Ross last night (we get things a bit delayed in Oz) talking about this, hilarious! “It’s quite dangerous, so we sent James May… he’s responsible!”

What do you think about adding some more images? I’m not trying to offend anyone, page is really great. Just according to the scientists humans acquire info much more effective if they see certain helpful pictures.

Come on we all know that James May couldn’t wake anything up, send him over to lecture the volcano and it will go back to sleep. Captain Slow Saves Europe!

Great report! Next thing you know, Top Gear will be blamed for the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. I think they’ll try to pin it on Jeremy, trying to get more fuel so he can have “POWERRRRRRR!”
And for all of you that didn’t get the joke(mixed up names, the reporter’s name, etc.), you must have been tired when you read this. I’m American, and I got the joke right off.

Who the hell is Jeremy Hammond? I honestly can’t take this report seriously, if you are trying to prove a point world wide I’d hope you’d know when to use a comma.
