Clarkson pied at awards ceremony

19.09.2005 09:41 | Oxford

TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson was pied last Monday after receiving an honorary degree from Brookes University. The pie, and accompanying demo, were in protest at his bigoted and ignorant views on many topics, and there had been a campaign at Brookes against awarding him the degree.

violence, of any sort, is not the answer.

Pity

Pity,
Pity I was'nt there to follow through with an other pie.
No harm to silence the the constant flow of drivel comming from Clarkson's big mouth.

also a pity

...pity it wasn't a brick :-D

If I thought the above statement through I would probably realise how irresponsible and self-defeating it might be........

However, if I were to carry out such an action it would also provide Mr Clarkson himself with a refreshing and novel perspective from which to consider the consequences of ill thought-out words and actions.

It was quite tasty, actually.

Actually, I'll have you know that I was actually pretty hungry, so the pie was not in any way unwelcome. Also, if you happened to have had the idea that I would be humiliated at the public display of me being splattered in the face with a pie, then think again. I mean, for crying out loud, I try to avoid driving convertables on the show due to my rather glaring bald patch!

She proved the aerodynamic properties of a pie! People are too sensitive nowadays.

He deserves to be run over by a 911

I bet that aesthetically challenged Jeremy wasn't affected or humiliated with that pie on his face. He deserves something better; just hope that he gets run over by a Porsche 911; I can never forgive him for destroying a 911.

I don't care what you say because he's a great bloke (by the way I'm not gay). If thats the best way you people can think of to prove a point, then you've got bigger problems than global warming!

Clarkson is a Legend!

pity it wasnt a brick!?! what the hell man!

jeremy clarkson is one of the funniest people on TV, plus Top Gear is one of the best shows on TV, largely due to him being in it!!

bloody cheap shot!

why?

03.03.2007 20:24

how is this amusing in any way?
that man is my idol!
yes he may be slighty pesimistic and strong headed
but that's what he does for a living
i bet you don't have as good a job as that
and further more why is didliking a jounalists to fashionable i dont get
journalists are there to poke holes in things and tell us the truth
not allways the entire truth
but sometimes expanding the truth makes for a better read
so
stop insulting this man
and so what if he doesn' t like electric cars
seriously who can blame him
when many dont exceed 30 mph
*rant over*
