BBC Suspends Jeremy Clarkson. Again.

[Swoop]

Clarkson is probably a type II diabetic and needs to snack every couple of hours. He also needs to tone it down a bit when he is out in the public.. His insensitive remarks in Argentina got them kicked out of the country. They are lucky the mob did not cause any serious injuries to the crew working for TopGear. As already mentioned in this thread, the three will probably move to a new network but Clarkson's mouth will continue to be a problem. The last two episodes were cancelled. We'll have to wait and see if they are aired at a later date.

<S>

What insensitive remarks?

[Petrol]

The format of the show is a winner.
Even if Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi fronted it.

Clarkson.  He writes for the Sun and was educated at boarding school, 'nuff said. 

[Ratsy]

Semp!  You're  !  But probably younger than me!  Really  .

When Clarkson was in Argentina he brought up the Falklands/Malvinas. He shoulda left it alone while he was in their country. When you travel abroad you do not make remarks to offend the locals. That's common sense. The police escorted them to Chilean Border. There could have been some serious violence.

That was probably scripted and fully intentional.

None of you guys seem to either watch Top Gear or have followed Argentina Story nor do you have a clue that the presenters aren't friends off set and that no one punched anyone in this alleged Incident. Top Gear isn't satire. It's an entertainment series with a focus on cars. It's a very good hour in front of the telly. I've yet to hear what comments Clarkson made in Argentina. The crap was generated by the license plate on the 928 Clarkson was driving.

All of which goes to prove that there isn't a bigger bunch of roadkillters than virtual fighter pileits to make something out of nothing.

Show me how he brought it up.  What did he say?  What did he personally do to inflame the Argies?

Cos the simple fact is he didn't say anything.


The numberplate caused the issue and it was removed from the car before they entered Argentina.

This is about as productive as discussing about the Kardashians show and what are their motives for doing stuff.

All the drama is planned and scripted.

The Kardashians have a show? I must be livin' right. Never seen it.

Even if some of this (don't believe everything you read in the papers) is true, Clarkson should be gone, as should anyone who behaves in a similar manner:

Jeremy Clarkson punched his Top Gear producer Oisin Tymon in the face following a 40-minute rant ...

A guest at the hotel where the BBC team were staying said Clarkson was furious to find that there was no hot meal available when he and his co-presenters James May and Richard Hammond returned from a drinking session at a nearby pub....

Another source said that Clarkson called Tymon, 36, a “lazy Irish c***” before splitting his lip with a punch that left him with blood running down his face.

Tymon is understood to have received treatment at the A&E department at Friarage Hospital, in Northallerton...

It is understood that Clarkson will firmly deny either using xenophobic language or punching Tymon when he appears before the BBC inquiry being conducted by the head of BBC Scotland, Ken MacQuarrie.

It has been reported that he raised the incident himself with senior BBC managers after meeting with the Top Gear crew to apologise for his outburst...

Seriously, getting drunk and verbally abusing work colleagues, in a public place, is grounds to be gone before your feet touch the ground. Leave aside any vilification or violence.

[PR3D4TOR]

Drunk Briton comes back to the hotel behaving like a dick??? Who woudda thunk it!

[Scherf]

Heheheh, too true.

Me neither but I've seen about it in the tabloids.
