Jeremy Clarkson Should Be Fired?

Some no name loser Member of Parliament Chris Mole has called for Jeremy Clarkson of the popular British motoring show Top Gear to be fired.

Clarkson made a slightly flippant comment that referred to a truck driver who murdered some prostitutes a little while ago, during one of his segments on Top Gear.

But my concern here is that Britain seems to be heading towards a scary dark place of censorship. The fall out from the BBC Radio 2 prank phone call is still ongoing. And now because a few hundred people complain about a show that has millions of viewers, some asshole politician is calling for someone to lose their job?

Jeremy Clarkson is a bit of an asshole. I know, I met him once. Arrogant and a bit of a dick (although I can relate to that). But on TV he is absolutely great, and he single handedly brought Top Gear into this century, creating so much success that it is even shown here in the States.

I think it is time the BBC lightened up here. It seems they are all so jittery after the Russel Brand incicent they are too scared to broadcast edgy programming.

There was nothing wrong with what Jeremy Clarkson said, so leave him the fuck alone and chill out.
