Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson is the latest gobby, overpaid BBC money-pit to request an imposed career break, following a flippant comment implying that all lorry drivers murder prostitutes, rather than just the Ipswich serial killer Steve Wright and a few others who haven’t been caught yet, probably.
The opinionated, car-molesting host made his remarks on Sunday’s show, whilst completing a lorry-driving task.
“It’s a hard job,” he blathered to camera. “Change gear, change gear, change gear, check mirror, murder a prostitute, change gear, change gear, murder. That’s a lot of effort in a day.”
No sooner had the words tumbled from Clarkson’s vile lips than 188 irate lorry drivers, or possibly prostitutes, were reaching for their telephones to register complaints with the BBC’s “What the Fuck Have We Done Now?” Hotline.
Clarkson, however, was unrepentant about the shame he has brought upon his embattled employers.
“With the kind of workload that would make a rented Tranny-van turn white - if it wasn’t white already - I’d say that I’m in serious need of a three-month rest,” he sneered as he sat back on James May, while resting his feet on Richard Hammond. “So come on, Mr Director-General of the BBC: do your worst.”
“Channel Four have made me a very nice offer for a series in which I mow down the disabled with a variety of the world’s most desirable motors,” he added, “And I’m sure I can probably squeeze a tediously-repetitive book or three out of it as well.”
Director-general Mark Thompson is reported to be considering an alternative punishment for Clarkson - one that involves chaining the fox-hating, environment-loathing, self-confessed petrolhead to creepy wildlife-botherer Bill Oddie for a year.
