jeremy suspended from beeb for 6 weeks
About time I did a pardie threed!
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-31824040
Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson has been suspended by the BBC "following a fracas" with a producer.
The corporation said the 54-year-old presenter had been suspended "pending an investigation".
"No one else has been suspended. Top Gear will not be broadcast this Sunday," it said.
Clarkson was given what he called his "final warning" last May after claims he used a racist word while filming the popular BBC motoring show.
At the time, he said the BBC had told him he would be sacked if he made "one more offensive remark, anywhere, at any time".
The BBC gave no further details on the current incident involving Clarkson, and said it would not be making any further statements at this time.
Clarkson's representatives have yet to reply to requests for a comment.
The presenter himself has remained silent, however last month he tweeted a post saying a "new presenter for Top Gear" was wanted.
"Applicant should be old, badly dressed and pedantic but capable of getting to work on time," he said.
etc...etc..etc...

I'd watch that. "This week Rum is driving the Ssangyong Korando and putting it through its paces in a hilarious drive to an out-of-town Sainsburys."

There's a huge market for moronic shite.
There are lots of Clarksons out there, ready to supply it. But it's not as simple as it sounds.
You need a certain talent for supplying moronic shite that sells.
Not all shite is the same.

While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

But if Jezzah is sacked who can possibly replace him? Stephen Fry? Ross Kemp? Cuba Gooding Jnr?

Re: jeremy suspended from beeb for 6 weeks
where did you get the six weeks from, rum? i've read several accounts reporting his suspension, but none of them mentioned for how long. i think the beeb is being fucking petty in refusing to air the episodes. the license fee payers coughed up for them.
open source the world.

Hmmm ... I've not seen any reference anywhere (including in the OP article) about how long he's suspended for.
The fact is, his contract with the BBC is up for renewal at the end of this series. Interesting times ahead.
