I honestly wasn't sure whether you were being facetious or brutally honest. He had wit about him. No doubt. His choice in humor and how it translates to others does not affect me in any way. We've all said things that we wish we could take back a time or two.

He's definitely made a name for himself.

meh, i've got my sensitive side out the last few days and can't wait until i put it away. others likely also. :) there are just things he does that are stupid, childish, (lighting water on fire) and all of their stunts are meant to be hilarious and funny. to me, they were. the trio is pretty amazing together in how they work and play off each other and to me, that's rare and i honestly enjoy it. all the "slams" clarkson got during his shows i never really caught when it happened and i'm surprised, if an issue, it made it past editing.

the fact they are so stunt heavy makes anything "real" harder to believe to me. getting kicked out of argentina, for example...um, how fortunate they got the entire show filmed first. did he use a racist term? dunno. if so, stunt or real? is there a difference? did he actually hit someone or are they doing a stunt? i suppose you could think about it all day long but i honestly looked forward to this show on a regular basis and am really sad it's about over.

the thing i admire about britt humor is they're not all PC and uptight about it but that seems to be changing.

but like BP says, junkyard wars will be cool if they bring that back. i remember seeing a few and digging it.

No worries ice. I wasn't a big fan of the show. My wife enjoyed it when she could. Regarding Clarkson's alleged mistakes, more than half of what the public hears coming from the media is pure tripe. They make up **** to further their own agenda. That's what makes politics so damn infuriating. So who knows?

i can see where it just wouldn't be very funny to some but yea, he's one of those who just cracks me up. as for media pushing their own agenda, i've been on that bandwagon for a long time. that's why i don't take media reports of a players "transgressions" as fact. usually it's in the details if you care to look, but the majority of stories these days are designed to get interaction and "likes" so they cater to the least educated mindset, the mob. most people in a mob are pretty intelligent on their own, or at least can be. but...

...nevermind. this is about top gear but i sure do get what you say.

Keep in mind...He is probably going to get fired, or not reupped (however they try to word it) because he punched his producer.

This is not because he said this or that.

Hard to punch your producer aka boss and not get fired.

And from what I read he did not assault him because of any PC problems he ran into, looks like it was because of a hot meal/food related issue of all things.

Oh the places we could go with this conversation. Lol I sometimes miss the Political Zone. If ever restored, that place would burn to the ground in less than five minutes. #donttreadonme

Punched him over a hot meal. Performers are such divas.

i honestly never read that much into it as i figured it was another stunt. as for "hot food" good god, they carry cows of roadkill to camp to "cook" :)
