As some of you may know, I am a huge fan of Top Gear, and if you have been around me blabber on about how much I wish I had Jeremy Clarkson's career, you know I am obsessed. So I can't help but post funny things about the show when I see them. This is a post from AutoBlog.com (they are also in my blog roll). Begins now!Will Pierce has gotten it backwards. The goal is to get paid for watching Top Gear; instead, Pierce earned himself a hefty bill for catching up on the Best. Car. Show. Ever.
Pierce and his son were on a ski trip in France, where there happens to be a paucity of English-language television. To stave off the boredom, out came the laptop and its Vodafone data card. Vacation saved by Internet downloads of Clarkson and friends, father and son returned home to a £21,716 ($30,334.40) Internet service bill. Needless to say, the humongous charge was something of a surprise. Thankfully, Vodafone kindly waived Pierce's fees with an admonition to check his plan and whether it covers massive data downloads while in other countries. So, the next time you find yourself in foreign lands with time to burn and a hankering for some quality Stigtime, well... consider yourselves warned.
