Wtf Jeremy Clarkson Dead?!!!!!!!!!

Is Jeremy Clarkson Dead?

We received this e-mail from a tipster this afternoon:

“I have it from a friend whose friend owns a ranch in Portugal that poor Jeremy Clarkson is dead, victim of a horse accident during a stunt. The accident happened on a ranch [nearby]. The incident is being hushed up for now because of big legal implications.”


Holy sheit. If this is true, we truly can’t believe that Clarkson’s gone. Although we often disagreed with the Top Gear presenter, we loved his wit and his way with a turn of phrase. He was one of the truest scholars ever to comment on motoring, as well as one of the funniest. He was spotted yesterday at the Cornbury Festival in the UK, but let’s face it, it’s not a long flight from Blighty to Portugal. If this turns out to be true, look for a full obit penned by all Jalopnik staffers. The man was truly one of the giants of the industry. Stay tuned. We’ll keep you posted.

Any truth to this?

 

[exigeracer]

That has to be the most reliable piece of information I've ever seen in my life.

It could have truth, but I'm not going to lose sleep.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

No, he's not dead.

 

[Dave A]

Nope, there was a spoof news report about him being killed a few years ago for comic relief or something like that though.

 

[Jondot]

Mmmmno.

I highly doubt it... There's nothing on any news site about it, it's probably a joke or spam.

 

[Sting]

I bet if any Greenpeacer's hear about this, they'd celebrate so much. lol

 

[Famine]

The incident is being hushed up for now because of big legal implications.

So obviously there'd be nothing on the news about it. Duh!



[/sarcasm]

 

[Pebb]

I bet if any Greenpeacer's hear about this, they'd celebrate so much. lol

And if they did I bet Clarkson would have a clone of himself just for backup?

 

[Dave A]

He'd have hiself replaced by two clones, just to rub it in.

 

[Pink_the_Floyd]

Why would Jeremy ride horses?


He's got cars plenty enough I think to play with...

 

[Jay]

I wouldn't think Jeremy Clarkson would ride a horse considering a Monaro was enough to put his back out.

From same site as original post:

The relief is thick in the air at Jalopnik bedquarters, as any substantiation of the unsubstantiated heresay of Jeremy Clarkson’s demise fails to materalize. Supporting the ‘e’s-not-dead-yet camp is a report Clarkson was spotted at a UK music festival on Sunday, making it virtually impossible for him, in the post-Concorde age, to have then flown to Portugal and gotten mortally injured at the hoofs of an equine. Let’s just hope it’s not a ruse in the manner of the Beatles’ Paul Is Dead conspiracy. Come to think of it, has anyone seen Andre the Giant lately? [Thanks to Sam for the tip.]

Which is exactly what makes the whole idea ridiculous. The thought of Mr. Clarkson, all six foot twenty of him, beer gut and bad back, actually getting up on a horse in the first place borders on the absurd.

Can a mod delete this thread, due to the fact I've come to the conclusion it is utterly pointless.

1) You didn't start the thread.

2) The staff are perfectly capable of deciding for themselves when a thread deserves closure, as long as they are aware of its existence.

3) A staff member has already posted in this thread, indicating that the staff is aware of its existence.

4) Have a nice day.

Exactly my point about the BS but oh well.

 

[Silverzone]

Who Is Jeremy Clarkson? I honestly have no idea..

BANT!

Naw, JK. But really, are you serious?

I live in the U.S and know Jeremy Clarkson is the host of Top Gear.

Oh, ok. I've never seen it before. I knew what top gear was, but didnt know anything about it. Wikipedia says nothing about him dying btw.

 

[3-Wheel Drive]

That has to be the most reliable piece of information I've ever seen in my life.

 

[niky]

That's because they edited it out to keep it a secret. Wikipedia is fine for finding out about things, but juicy gossip only stays 0.0005 seconds before someone else deletes it.

 

[kikie]

let's wait till next sunday. I believe there's a new episode next sunday. If there's no anouncement about Jeremy's death, then he's still alive. It's that simple.
Let's wait and see (hear).

 

[Dave A]

Anyone think this might get mentioned in Sundays episode of TopGear, that Clarkson will be filming oh, tomorrow. If Clarkson is dead, there is no Sunmday episode of TopGear .

 

[Jedi2016]

Yeah, that should be funny.. Jeremy will be reporting on his own death, should be interesting.

 

[boombexus]

No, no, no. All of you that think he's still alive are wrong. The information of Clarksons death was transmitted via the internet, and as we all know, every thing on the internet is true.

Clarkson MUST be dead.

 

[somebody]

I can just see it now...

JC "..and I mean look at the coffin... it's a right pig. No aero, no style, and the cheap chrome handles!? And dont' get me started about the engine..."

[Dave A]

Yeah I remember him talking about it on Jonathan Ross' show. He said that when he was shot at by a rocket in the Black Hawk he was listening to George Thorogood "bad to the bone" on his iPod .
