Isn't there a diminishing return on these kind of 'bros do stupid shit' show anyway? Especially since YouTube/Vimeo/etc.? This morning I watched a video of someone overclocking a toaster, and that was way more interesting to me than anything TG have done in the last ten years.

Bring back William Woollard. Sure, he's in his 70s now, but, as a clean-living Buddhist, I'm sure he's fit enough to tell you why the electrics on a Corsa are a bit iffy.

Forcing chips and CPUs to run at faster than their designed speed (with consequent power consumption and heat generation issues). God knows what this involves with a toaster. Burning a bagel in 30sec?

agree it's more interesting than top gear though xp

As long as there are cars that require unsustainable fuel to run, there'll be a Clarkson. So ban cars, frankly.

Calling what Clarkson did a 'Fracas' must be like salt in the wound for him, given that it's a French term.

OK, I googled him, was just wondering if it was a typo for Lemmy.
I'd have been impressed if JClarkson had attempted to biff a Lemmy lookalike.

I read 'need to better manage relationships with stars like Clarkson' as 'don't let them get away with all kinds of shit just because they're popular and profitable' but I guess it could be taken the opposite way

Although I wish Clarkson nothing but humiliation and would not miss the tv show, I hope that Top Gear magazine, which is not the nasty racist cartoon JC is but which contains some of the best English-language writing on cars, would be able to survive, perhaps under a different name.

I believe the verdict is definitive for clarkson tho! I mean its a big world out there with a lot of battles and etc.
and its not like he's not going to remain hugely popular anyway, this is just ilx eating its own farrow kinda stuff and we could be discussing new and interesting bowel movement technologies or something.
idk I'm getting a lil lj "ilx should be better than this absolute rubbish" which is nagl I know but look, Jeremy clarkson. what can you say.
I'd be more interested in a look at ok here's a guy who embodies a lot of what we hate who is hugely popular because of it what'll we do what does that say does it inform our struggle for righteousness where does it feed into election strategies or w/e a bump thats nothing but good, smart and funny posters and lex hating clarkson idk feels good sure but its a bit sow eating own farrow by now isnt it
