Something pleasing about footage of Richard Hammond's crash having more viewers than the non-event that is the 'Celebrity' Big Brother final.
Richard's obvious modesty and humility at such praise even Clarkson gave him was clearly sincere - indeed he said he "didn't want the crash mentioned ever again" and you got the impression he was genuine. Compared to the vacuous (possibly racist (who knows how they edit it...)) morons on CBB it was positively refreshing.
Some people are either very bad at understanding comedy, or take themselves far too seriously.
By showing the crash, Richard and Top Gear were showing that what they do is dangerous, and that despite all the jokes they knew he was very, very, lucky to be there with everything as good as normal (despite a bizarre new taste for celery).
I fail to believe people who watched that crash thought: "Wow, that just made me want to drive more dangerously and carelessly."
Well people who watch Top Gear and not the CBB final...
