Blowing up a mobile home doesn’t require loads of explosives just hitting “Like” on Facebook.

Top Gear, a British television show dedicated to cars, is promising to detonate the vehicle if/when its fan page hits 10 million likes. Currently, the show needs 40,000 more likes to ensure the unsuspecting caravan’s catastrophic death. (Comments have been disabled.)

The show’s abusive activity against mobile homes (or as they call it in Britain, a caravan) is well documented on their YouTube channel. The Top Gear vs. Caravans section has 11 videos that give us a small glimpse of what the show is planning when the fan page hits its mark.

The 18th season of Top Gear will debut in Britain on BBC Two later this month. The program is shown stateside on BBC America but no word when the upcoming season will make its American premiere.
