Default Tree hugger petitioning against Clarkson!!!! Muppets...

Just got this off of the XR2 website

It seems that the U.K's long list of retard anti-car 'activists' are trying to deny Clarkson his honourary.
However, very few of them actually have a REASON as to why he shouldnt get it.

Just check out some of the comments.

It is said that he only got his job on TV because of people he knew from his public school; well it wasn't because of his knowledge, intellect or talent was it? There are thousands and thousands of more deserving candidates for an honorary degree than Clarkson
Brought about the collapse of MG Rover?!
GOOD CARS?!

From what I've seen, he's actually quite a good driver, and seems to know what he's talking about.

That one cracked me up! Yep! This one man is responsible for the degredation of the environment! Let's ignore all the American companies who refuse to meet regulations on pollution, it's all Clarksons fault because he drives cars!

I'm sure you get the gist of it now! The main idea here is that he cant have an honourary degree because he is BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT You heard it here first people! Clarkson cannot have a degree because single handedly, he has destroyed the rain forest and caused global warming!

I swear, these are the kind of people we can thank for all the ill that is done toward drivers these days.....the kind of people who insisted on speed limits back in the day.


Few more quotes and comments

I for one was glad when MG-Rover went bust. At least we can now be proud that our country is no longer churning out climate-destroying cars any more. Clarkson should not get a degree and should be banned from the BBC.
WTF?!

FPMSL!
Sad thing is that this guy signed up to the petition just to take the piss........so in effect not aiding Clarkson..but still! TOUCHE!

She said he wasn't a 'natural' driver. Very few of us are.

Just flicked on the Top Gear - 2004.11.21 Episode and Sabine said and I quote;
He asks her if he will be able to do it in under 10 minuts
Sabine: "No"
Clarkson: "don't sugarcoat it like that, tell me straight"
Sabine: "Your not 100 % talent free, but.. 80%"

And then as he's drivin around the track she comments on his driving
"He looks a little bit lazy behind the steering wheel" ...
"Like he can do everything and he is the best driver the world have ever seen...michael schumacher from britain maybe, but I think he isn't"

clarkson is the man.

cars only contribute 2% of the CO2 pollution of the world ( i think thats right)

he did fook all single handidly, and only ever commented on the collapse of
rover after it happened?

the man clearly can drive a bit, lol
he also does know what makes a good car (shit he's driven enough of them!)

IMO he tells it like it is, if he thinks its crap, he'll say!

has this series of top gear gone slightly more 'all out' to annoy
the tree huggers?
crashing cars into swimming pools destroying caravans etc. lol
celebrating the huge engined/powerful as fook cars.

lol great stuff! weather he can drive well or not. lol
