VIDEO [NSFW]: Jeremy Clarkson Tells Us How He REALLY Feels About Top Gear And The BBC

Although the Top Gear, BBC and Jeremy Clarkson saga appears far from over, it sounds like Clarkson already knows the outcome of the investigation. Of course he's an entertainer and is known for his exaggeration, but I think the writing is on the wall.

Clarkson made his first public appearance, aside from being chased by paparazzi outside his West London flat, at a charity event this week and let the audience know how he really feels about the BBC and the Top Gear situation.

The reason for his comments is simple: he was there auctioning a lap of the Top Gear test track in a Ferrari LaFerrari to be driven by Top Gear friend and Pink Floyd drummer, Nick Mason. In addition to that, the winner gets a lap with Clarkson in according to what he says "whatever I can get my hands on."

For the curious, it sold for 100,000 GBP.

Rather than quote Clarkson, I'll let the man do the talking below.

Please note: Clarkson's comments are predictably NSFW but BLEEPED out.

Clarkson is pure gold. The BBC is getting this WRONG.

Nope, he's a bully that needs to be brought up by his short hairs.

I don't care how famous you are or how much money you bring a business, there's no excuse in the world for assaulting someone unless you are defending yourself or another person. None. The reports that he was completely drunk on his tail is no excuse, and in fact speaks volumes to his character.

Then the BBC is also a bully because they have paid him and prospered from him. This is NOT the first incident, but all of a sudden the BBC acts like it has to "do something" and that is hypocritical.

The people piling on and excoriating him are bullies who are trying to elevate themselves from their pathetic little worlds and low paying jobs to insert their opinion as if it matters to Clarkson or the BBC--to anyone other than themselves really--so they can pretend they are empowered.

Bullies are weak people who seek empowerment at the expense of others. Clarkson bashers are bullies.

Now you're saying I'm a bully because I think he is? Grow up!

BBC prospered for years because he was part of a top TV show. He's made a fool of himself on numerous occasions, but I've never heard of him committing a criminal offence before. And yes, assault is a criminal offence.

I'm simply stating an opinion as to the declining moral structure of the world. The US doesn't hold a monopoly on bad behavior. People who defend him are stating that it's ok because he's popular and makes a lot of money. Oh, he was drunk, so that excuses it. NO IT DOESN'T! If we (and I am including everyone here) stop treating sports stars and celebrities as idols and supermen/women, perhaps the more important things in life will become just a little more noticeable.

I won't even play this because it is all too predictable what this self-important blowhard will say. Good riddance, Clarkson! Don't let the door hit you as you stagger out!

When it comes down to it, Networks care about viewers which = $$ and JC brings it. He's awesome and I could not care less about his blow hardiness, its what makes him, him. Either BBC fixes this and pays him, or he walks and some other networks picks him up. He's the Michael Jordan of Car Shows... how many others have come and gone, or even the pathetic US Version? I watch TG reruns but don't bother with those morons on the US version...

I am not going to weigh in on whether or not he is a bully. I do know that Original Top Gear was a "team" show and the BBC did a good job of elevating Richard and James over the past few years (seeing this inevitable day coming) so they can do the show without him.

Shame Jeremy is done, but the show will go on without him. He won't find that unique chemistry anywhere else - BBC is uniquely structured, his show's tone would be completely different elsewhere (unless "Vice" network picked him up). Its the end of an era.
