Jeremy Clarkson Dismissed From Top Gear
An anonymous reader writes According to BBC News, Jeremy Clarkson, longstanding main host for the automobile television show Top Gear, will not have his contract renewed. This decision came about two weeks after he was suspended due to an altercation with a Top Gear producer involving catering during filming for the show. Admittedly not the nerdiest news of the day, but it can be said that his thirteen-year run on the new format of Top Gear has interested many Slashdot users who love their cars and the entertainment that the show has brought to them.
And on that Bomb shell...
Don't they just always have him regenerate and replace him with another actor?
Are they hiring a new racist then?
Have you ever watched it? It's like Monty Python with adult sized hot wheels.
You're thinking of Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice.
"Jersey is like a Lamborghini Miura from the 70s. Originally awesome even as it breaks down from time to time and slips into decrepit use. It always remained awesome as its lunacy remains. And then one day it (in a prima donna hissyfit?) PUNCHES your plain old Ford Focus of a producer right in the face when he says "You will fill up with this crappy 85 octane out of an old pail even though you are specified to only use 93 octane... And you will like it!". And then everyone came out of the woodwork and starts saying "It wasn't a sensible car" when that was NEVER the point and was why it was wonderful to begin with."
When they are out on a shoot I would expect a quality hot meal for the camera men and the grips let alone your star presenter!
>>End of show.
Maybe not. Even if May and Hammond quit, they still have The Stig.
Alright, he/she is not the most talkative presenter the BBC has, but it might just work...
"Some say he is a talented mime artist, and can accurately describe the attitude of a BMW driver by simply raising one finger."

Actually Elon liked Jeremy's humour in Top Gear.

And this is hardly the first time Clarkson has behaved like this, he was already on "final warning" after a string of other incidents.
He probably should have molested a bunch of kids instead. Then the BBC would have kept the entire incident covered up.
Some say he punched an innocent person in the mouth-
others say he's the cash cow of the BBC-
But we just know him as... unemployed.
