Shitshow posted:Top Gear is one of the most pirated shows worldwide, so I expect the impact to be minimal. And isn't Orphan Black CBC and not BBC? Top Gear is their most watched show. Losing their most watched show is not going to do anything good for their ad revenue. Impact will not be 'minimal' it will be rather large. The question is if they will be able to mitigate that.

I feel pretty bad for Wilman and the rest of the producers who now have to figure out how the gently caress to get the show to work now, because if they're gonna renew it for 2016 with new presenters or somehow wrangling Hammond and May back it's gonna piss off people and lose viewers. At least they are going to try to get those last 3 episodes released. Also James should do a podcast. His stuff on Head Squeeze's Youtube channel was amusing and I'd listen to a whole drat podcast about that.

Uh, that guardian article is loving ridiculous, not because there is anything wrong with being say, an eco-feminist, or wanting a world less full of bigoted commentary. The author of that article has not a clue why a show involving idiots and stupid cars could be compelling entertainment. I'm assuming that your objection is to my pejorative use of the term "SJW" which I'm sorry, has no necessary relevance as not everything need be a platform for social change, particularly, not a loving comedy show, where even the statistics about the cars involved are more than likely nonsense, along with everything else.

It doesn't seem like Hammond or May are going to come back given their reactions to the firing, but you never know what the BBC will offer them to try and keep them. As far as renewing the show, I don't see why the BBC wouldn't try to at least salvage the show for at least one more series given its popularity, but I think they're going to find that it's not going to appeal to the regular top gear audience.

Logikv9 posted:the BBC themselves decided to go for the straight-laced decision and sack him, which while is "correct" is just shooting themselves in the foot in the eyes of the substantial amount of people who support Clarkson. Yes, and uh, given the facts, gently caress these people. The stress of long filmshoots, the power of showbiz, the influence of alcohol, being a grumpy child, whatever your excuse, there's no reason to punch someone. It's one thing to play a belligerent arsehole on TV, it's entirely different to resort to physical violence, and there should be no doubt about his actions being unacceptable. Clarkson's had enough chances to not be poo poo, and this crosses an entirely new line for him. An entire bingo card of offensiveness and stupidity, and now a punchup? Over some food? Yes, people will support Clarkson because of his personality and fame. And these people need to take another look at what's happened, and then go gently caress themselves. Oh, and as an afterthought, doublefuck the people holding the producer responsible and giving him grief over it. He has it bad enough already, without being labelled as The Guy Who Killed Top Gear, without having to worry about the possibility of his entire livelihood collapsing, without taking the blame for someone else attacking him. I hope even people who admire Clarkson can say that blaming and hounding Oisin is just not on.

The article sucks, yes. Using the term SJW is just as reprehensible because it assume that it should be acceptable to not condemn social issues. Its a term almost entirely only used by Conservatives and Mens Right Activists. Think about it. CommieGIR fucked around with this message at 17:32 on Mar 25, 2015 |

Yes, because military action is considered the last line of international diplomacy. Bitching someone out for 20 minutes because its too late to get a hot meal and then punching them in the face does not call for violent diplomacy. meatpimp posted:These are the requirements for so many jobs.
