Jeremy Clarkson gets final warning from BBC

Jeremy Clarkson's latest scandal is turning out to be a bit more serious than his past errors, if his latest column in The Sun is to be believed. Clarkson has been in the headlines following the reveal of a Top Gear outtake, in which the 54-year-old presenter appears to (sort of) mumble the N-word.

This issue, along with the "slope" controversy from the end of March, is apparently about as much as the BBC can bear. According to Clarkson, if he makes "one more offensive remark, anywhere, at any time," the BBC will fire him, a fate he appears to have resigned himself to.

"It's inevitable that one day, someone, somewhere will say that I've offended them, and that will be that," Clarkson wrote.

"I use the F-word pretty much constantly and the C-word (clearly, the C-word is viewed very differently in the UK...) too, especially when I'm talking about James May. But the N-word. No. It's not in my lexicon," Clarkson wrote.

Now, we still aren't really sure what Clarkson said - the video uncovered by The Daily Mirror isn't anywhere near conclusive. Even the speech forensics expert hired by the tabloid was unsure, admitting to a British talk radio station she was only 75-percent certain that the N-word was said, according to BBC News.

"Isn't that what a court of law would consider grounds for acquittal on the basis of 'reasonable doubt'?" Clarkson wrote. That does seem like a pretty fair point, and reinforcement of what many of you thought when watching the video. It's just too difficult to know exactly what he said.

Even with Clarkson's well known (and some might argue, overused) sense of hyperbole, it's fairly clear that the curmudgeonly presenter remains in the hottest of waters following this latest episode.

psh, if he gets fired im sure he will be juuuuust fine. any magazine or publication will be scrambling to snatch him up.

He should break off and do a web series, leaving the dinosaurs at BBC behind

Dude needs to get his personal life in order.

even better, he should be hired by the drive network on youtube and work side by side with chris harris

If I'm reading the article right and your post correctly: he needs to get his life "in order" cause he uses the F word, C word and sometimes the N word?

I'm sure most of us have and you yourself have as well lol

already been covered in that other thread... come on timps

... because he says fuck, cunt and maybe nigger? wat

calls asians slopes, cheats on his wife, and supposedly an alcoholic

asians get called much worse than slopes.

which rich ass mofucker doesnt cheat on wife?

who doesnt like to drink?

still win imo

I would never cheat, just saying.

Making excuses for someone you like is an entirely different matter. Manics point still stands, the dude has issues

What the hell is a slope LOL

First time I've ever heard of this "insult" for asians.

You can't be offended at something you don't know the meaning to or if you're not a pussy who gets offended at the smallest things :)

i never heard this either until now.

urbandictionary says:

yeah had to urban dictionary it as well LOL

It was highly used during our parents/grandparents era (Clarksons generation) never knew it as the urban dictionary def
But wow the excuses being made up for him are insane

Its like when RKelly peed on and banged that 13/14yr old fans came out to defend him and now he's back to making MV's

'its okay if you're famous, unless you say something about Jews' ~mel Gibson, john Galliano

Getting fired for one word?

lol at all the clarkson fanbois

because top gear would not be much of a show with just captain slow and the hamster... well, maybe if they replaced him with amy macdonald then i would not mind :p

:lawl:

I guess you can be offended by terms you don't know the meaning to..........

I bet Jeremy Clarkson said that too, right before that hot 22 year old super model sucked his dick.

Donald sterling can fund his next project

^^^ did that actually happen?


..... Poor 22 year old...

Money + status let you get away with anything and women line up to sleep with you
