Ha, He's the Sam Newman of The UK.
Ps, give Sam a break, people are now fishing for reasons to throw sh*t at him

Doesn't stop people trying.GuerrillaClock said:I think the British public just wants to see everyone sacked. You can't complain and shout for someone's head whenver they say something you don't agree with.
Which is why I'm so amazed that the public is up in arms over something relatively minor, coming from him. It's like when people watch scenes of mass murder and destruction without batting an eyelid, and then wince and feel emotionally scarred when somebody kicks a puppy.Lukeje said:I'm gonna say the latter because I really can't be bothered wading through all the crap to find out that this is another 'scandal' over absolutely nothing. But Clarkson does say contraversial things in order to draw attention to himself, he's famous (infamous?) for it.
Sadly true, idiotic jumped up people acting above their station. Almost as bad as people who will take a word say for instance 'persecuted' that they have heard and think it makes them sound intelligent. As thus they will use it constantly and out of context, slightly irrelevant but it ignores me though it is that sort of person who is likely to complain just because they want something to believe in.TheGhostOfSin said:Doesn't stop people trying.GuerrillaClock said:I think the British public just wants to see everyone sacked.

No way!jim_doki said:ok, maybe its time for Clarkson to watch his mouth a little more? you know, tone it down a bit?
ok, one, dont insult me like that. I have no problem watching people say fuck or **** or insulting minorities on air. I have absolutely no problem with Clarkson himself or the way he presents his show.mackemsniper said:No way!
Top Gear is one of the only TV shows I watch any more. If anything, he should ramp it up, get taken off the air, and then let's watch how the Beeb's audience figures take a dive. (Top Gear is one of the BBC's most watched programmes, both here and abroad.)
People all over the world watch it for the antics and the humour, and perhaps a little of the nice cars.
I recommend that you go back to watching unoffensive, dumb, middle-class ITV dramas...
Did I read a different news article to everyone else? Here was me thinking he'd just gotten away with, I don't know, exercising his right to free speech?jim_doki said:he's been getting away with murder
Are you telling us Clarkson genuinely hurt your feelings? Despite the fact that you do not know the man, have most likely never met him, and have no real reason to be truly offended and slighted?jim_doki said:is not only hurtful
I'd say he's more the English John Galt, although he does speak almost purely in Capitalised Words.smallharmlesskitten said:Top gear is the escapist of tv shows. clarkson is the ultrajoe
