Jeremy Clarkson fired from BBC/Top Gear

[marshallnoise]

I think it is a stunt because all of their contracts were up at the end of March anyway.

I have watched every show twice. Never bothered with the US version.

So who's going to feed the Stig? (stolen from a FB post)

serious note: I wonder if the Stig will be revealed?

Unfortunate for us fans of the show but it was inevitable and the right thing to do.

If I punched a coworker I would sure as hell expect to get fired for it, good on the BBC for not upholding a double standard for their more powerful employees.

These are basically my exact feelings. It was a fun enough show, but that doesn't give anyone immunity for being a douche canoe like Clarkson has been numerous times. It's too bad he couldn't reel it in, since this is his fault.

Had a great run, show has been bit tired lately. So go out with a bang and start fresh.

BBC goes back to Boring British Channel that formerly had Top Gear.

Yeah this sucks. He messed up and ruined the whole show.

Here's hoping another network will pick them up. I don't know if BBC owns the Top Gear name or if they simply have a contract with them. If the latter is the case, it'd be cool if they could void that contract and just continue the show elsewhere.

Another network will probably hire him but it won't be under the Top Gear name

what an utter disappointment. i understand actions have consequences and i understand both sides of the argument, but what a pitiful shame. i hope to see the three of them work together in the future again.... maybe this will be a little wake up call for Clarkson to get his shit together while continuing his hilarious on camera leadership skills.


now excuse me while i go binge watch all of top gear over again.

Oh wow.. I must have missed that. Hopefully someone signs them all three up for a new show. "Speed and power" lol

I can get totally on board with this....

I'm sorry but Clarkson is a twat. I presume there is an inverse relationship between the size of his ego and the size of his penis.

also if firing somebody for assault makes me a leftist, guilty as charged. what is wrong with people? he's an asshole celebrity, not a god..

[TheEightAlpha]

What erks me is that the BbC covers up child abuse and he gets Fired for this.

I feel like the show would be better if it were called "POWEEEER!"
