british tv host bitten in ass.
January 7, 2008jeremy clarkson, a prominent english tv presenter, recently published his personal banking details in his newspaper column to try to prove a point. he believed the recent outcry due to two discs containing 25 million uk citizen’s private information going amiss on it’s way to the national revenue office was blown out of proportion.
“All you’ll be able to do with them is put money into my account. Not take it out. Honestly, I’ve never known such a palaver about nothing.”
however, one morning he opened his bank statement to discover £500 was donated from his bank account to a uk diabetes charity. nothing like being proven wrong infront of a national audience.
he now has a slightly different tune to hum:
“Contrary to what I said at the time, we must go after the idiots who lost the discs and stick cocktail sticks in their eyes until they beg for mercy.”
[insert comment about putting something in pipe and smoking.]

The even funnier thing was that the picture of him smoking a pipe got him into trouble also. During an episode of the current series of Top Gear, the presenters joked that Porshe had started making pipes – and to see how good they were, the tried them. However, smoking in a public enclosed space / workplaces is now illegal in the UK, hence, he was done for it. Google “Top Gear Smoking” to see the BBC article. :)
haha that’s awesome, i didn’t know that.
