"I will rip your f*cking head off!" shouts Jeremy Clarkson at 12-year old boy


Yes Artist, harsh physical punishment used as a method of raising kids will surely result in mentally well-balanced and self-assured individuals when they're adults. :D;)

haha omg..u mean that im a off balance mentally..
thats so harsh..;)
 
Of course Tyc, I agree with you to a certain extent if it was my kid. Then again, I would also guide my child beforehand so that he/she knows that it is not acceptable, especially in this day and age to simply go around taking pictures of people where permission isn't granted.

I'm not justifying Clarkson's reaction - two wrongs don't make a right - but at the same time what kind of society do we live in where it's condonable for your kid to think it's acceptable to go and take pictures of complete strangers in their private moments?

Sure you need to teach your kids from the very beginning how to behave in such situations and overall you need to teach your kids what's right and and wrong, but in this case JC is an @$$ and only to blame. This could happen to his kid as well, if he has any, and i wonder how he'd react in that case? This was the reaction like the kid shoot at him! If he was a gentleman and civilized person, he'd went to his parents and kindly asked them to tell their child not to do that if they don't mind 'cause he's on his private holiday. No, he rather acted like a complete idiot!

And mind you, JC apparently ain't a complete stranger, at least according to kid's father, but rather a person that his kid admires and a rare moment for the kid to see JC irl. Again, it's 12yo kid, not an adult to have all that in mind in that exciting moment for him.

This is the way how that bitch Britney Spears react when paparazzis try to take photos of her.

So, JC is a bitch, a psycho one! And if i was that father, i'd sue that sob.

(sorry for the language)

:t-cheers:
 
^is this re-directed anger cause he hates BMW´s..haha
nah man im just kiddin.. i understand your point:D
 
The same thing nearly happened to me when I was in Italy. I walked past Felix Magath and his family and wanted to take a picture but the pissed-off look in his face made me reconsider! :D

For those non-European soccer fans, Felix Magath was the trainer of FC Bayern Munich. :usa7uh:
 
I read in the papers at the weekend that Jeremy had unleashed a full Sweary Mary moment at a kid who'd taken a picture of him asleep on holiday, without asking.
Now, because he was on holiday, the BBC said it was a private matter on which it couldn't comment, and as a BBC employee, I come under that directive. So I thought I'd just do a quick blog here about how the new series is going.
The new series is going fine. I can't think of anything else to say really, so if you don't mind, I'll just take a few moments to talk about my tourettsey mate.
When I read that story at the weekend I thought, 'You silly sod, why can't you just walk off?' But then I would, because nobody photographs me. Nobody photographs me buying a paper, picking my nose, putting money in a meter, lighting a fag, standing upright, parking a car, walking, opening a pub door, closing a pub door - all the amazing things that famous people do.
Ah well, that's the price of fame, says just about everybody. That's part of his contract with the Devil: he has money and can get a table in The Ivy, so he should put up with the rest.
I completely agree with that - as long as we're talking about celebs who go out of their way to be seen. But you'd have a bloody big struggle to put Clarkson in that category. Can you remember when you last saw him coming out of a paparazzi-frequented club, on a red carpet at a big do, or generally in any situation designed to put him on the Heat radar? I'm buggered if I can.
Yes, he's famous, but I can tell you he does nothing to stoke the fire. He doesn't go to premieres, he doesn't employ a Max Clifford to put him in the papers, I can't get him to do interviews, and if I wanted to get him to an awards ceremony, I'd have to break out that gear they use to move Hannibal Lecter around.
What he does is have friends round for dinner, go to friends' houses for dinner, download shit prog rock for his iPod, or maybe get a bit pissed and fall asleep in front of the Grand Prix. His life is almost as boring as mine.
He asked me to come up for a Saturday night out, a few weeks' back, and we ended up in a local's barn, drinking beer in plastic glasses and watching a wedding band tackle Gimme Some Lovin'. Believe me, Kate Moss wouldn't have re-arranged her diary.
Ah well, say his critics, Jeremy should remember that the little lad he swore at put him where he is. Well actually, he didn't. Hard work put him where he is. In between the boring bits of his life, Clarkson grafts like a pit pony, harder than anyone I know. He does it because he's tasked to make a good job of his TV work, and of his writing, his name's on the bottom, so it's up to him to do it.
Top Gear is a good show and it does well, and we all love the ratings, the praise, the way people embrace it; but trust me, if the motivation to keep it up there was how much fame the presenters could get out of it, we'd be dead in a month. What it takes is lots of nose to the grindstone, and as I say, he shovels more of that in than anyone. Then, when work's done, he takes his stomach on holiday and falls asleep on a sunbed, where some kid takes a picture of him.
Ah, but if he doesn't like it, why does he go to Barbados? Why doesn't he go somewhere with a private beach? Well, he's been going to that same place with his family for about the past 15 years, which is basically quite a lot longer than Nokia's three-million pixel mobile phone camera has been around.
So should he rethink his holiday plans now that everyone is a digital David Bailey? Seems a bit harsh to me. I think it would be a lot easier if parents taught their kids some manners with their cameras. Here's a tip: before you take a picture, try the old fashioned art of asking. You might get a yes, you might get a no, but at least everyone keeps their dignity.
Now I wouldn't expect many people to read this and take sides with me or Jeremy. Fair dos; we're big lads, we can take care of ourselves. I just want you to know there is another side.

I could understand Jeremy's frustration if he were wearing a banana hammock. :D

*Shivvers*
Ahhh...bloody 'ell, man...thanks for the image. :cwm1:

Anyhoo, my 2 cents? The kid was wrong. There is no defence, really...celeb, or no, Clarkson is a private citizen that deserved the same respect as any other individual (despite how big a jackass he can be...which, incidentally, is why we all love him).

My reaction in a similar incident would have been much the same...probably more harsh, actually. :D
 
I wish that fool would come over here and say that to a kid when their mother is present. Bet he won't be able to speak for a month.

Such ignorant trash!
 
All over the world its frowned upon to take pictures of people at public places like beaches without consent. I have seen people arrested for taking pictures, so yeah, **** the kid. Idol or not, his father should have taught him the rules. But what do you expect when the father tries to bitch to the BBC about it, like its their responsibility his kid was a twat. If you dont want to be yelled at, learn some common public/social protocols.
