    Jeremy Clarkson fired from BBC/Top Gear

    I figured this deserved it's own thread.

    kind of a surprise move

    Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson will not have his contract renewed after the BBC concludes an investigation into his "fracas" with a producer.

              south park shares my feelings in how people have gotten too soft "these days". should clarkson have (presumably) sucker punched his glorified assistant in the face? of course not... but he probably wouldn't have been fired if people hadn't made such a big deal about his two "super racist" remarks

              true point about 2 1/2 men, ashton kutcher was such a shitty replacement for charlie sheen, the show went downhill quick after that. gonna be the same with top gear, since there's no way they're letting such a cash cow die quietly

                  I've taken deaths in the family better than this. Maybe that's fucked up, but I watch Top Gear every morning as I fall asleep.

                    Yeah top gear is most likely going to crash in a flaming ball of failure. Lets all take a second and understand what this means..... US top gear is now the best top gear currently being aired.

                      It's all a sham to get TGUS ratings up.

                        punching a co worker rarely works out in favor of the one starting the fight, especially when you're on thin ice. Even if he wasn't on thin ice, that's worth firing someone over.

                            Theres pretty much no reason to watch top gear now that that 3 original hosts will no longer be on.

                            Lets hope a US company like Netflix or Discovery picks them up and makes a new car show.

                            BBC signed top gears death warrant, after the first episode with the new host i can almost bet no one will watch it again.

                              Coworker should have been fired for making Jezza punch him. You don't fuck around with a bumbling oaf's lunch.
