Oh sorry I thought the sarcasm was obvious. He is a wretched man and I hope he dies soon in tremendous pain

The fun part is the sort of people who do like him will upvote my comment because they are stupid.

Reading it again I can see the sarcasm oozing from it, but in the context of the comment before which seems a more sincere love of the guy (not least because it demonstrates someone actually watched his post–Top Gear content) I thought it was worth pointing out what a horrible human being Jeremy Clarkson is.

I honestly don't know how I feel about his Top Gear castmates. On the one hand they seem much more genuinely good people from their own actions and content outside of Top Gear & its spiritual successor. On the other they did seem more than willing to get back on board with him even after he committed assault (on top of all the other shit).

I think Hammond and May are actually real life friends of Clarkson. And that generation tends to not abandon a friend because of social pressure. Personally, I would have a beer with May and Hammond anytime and anywhere. But Clarkson would be a pass for me.

But who knows, they are all actors and are pros at being what they are not.

I think I'd have a beer with the guy, I think he's a giant prat but just because I dislike someone doesn't mean they can't have positive qualities mixed in among the bad. What he's doing right now is actually somewhat positive for farmers in the UK and if I met him I'd at least want to re-enforce the less shitty behaviour.
