Jeremy Clarkson suspended from BBC

Some of the BBC Management are a lot like some of their programming, idiotic and cringingly over dramatised. Masterchef springs to mind.

All about the bringing Top Gear to the front pages then really.

Wonder if his haters will calm down a bit.

Mmm Gemma Atkinson. Basically a much hotter and more booby version of Kaley Cuoco

No, no. That's the news reporters and websites doing that and whoever leaked it from the BBC - Nothing said in the workplace regarding a disciplinary should leave the workplace theoretically

I just like how newspapers are finding witnesses and investigating faster than BBC, who seem to be doing nothing.

I strongly suspect the BBC are finding them (and checking they were present), and actually making sure of the facts before issuing any statements officially.

Unlike some of the papers where it's so far gone from a punch up to a shove, to up to 30 minutes of shouting, and could well end up at "he called him a useless idiot who couldn't organise getting drunk in a distillery" or something by the time it's over

Just like with Saville and all the other paedophiles they protected over the year's then.

You mean like the Police who couldn't find anything, and the same papers that apparently had heard the same rumours and had tried investigations but couldn't find anything?

He could do a Jonathon Ross and go to ITV. Trouble is, we'd be treated to 6 billion ad breaks during the show.

Any and complaints about the cars would be massively toned down, advertisers really don't like a broadcasters shows saying negative things about their products.
Especially high profile or flagship programmes.

Given how much advertising there is for cars on the likes of ITV and Sky, I can't see Vauxhall, Ford, Skoda and Renault being very happy with their cars being described in Clarksons normal manner.

Doubt it those of us who like JC are considered meatheads.

I doubt many of his haters have ever picked up and read one of his columns in The Sunday Times, let alone understood it.

I think he's brilliant, I also think he knows he's done wrong and went too far. Got to say I'm not fussed if he's fired though, no doubt he'd pop up somewhere else anyway.

At the end of the day though, what could they do about it? Their only options would be to either stop advertising their cars in protest or advertise on smaller channels with less viewers, both of which would be more damaging to themselves than the channel.

They freely supply cars to Top Gear, so I doubt it is of concern to them. They also buy advertising slots in other TV regions and countries where top gear is shown, often specifically in the airtime slots of Top Gear where they get better access to petrol heads and car buyers.

Some retards on Twitter and Facebook are laying into Oisin Tymon for all this now. From the sound of what happened JC should be apologising to him profusely and that should be the end of the matter if that's what happened.
