It has been quite a week for Jeremy Clarkson and the BBC. After the many attempts that the masses have undertaken to have Jeremy Clarkson reinstated, the efforts have apparently failed.
Jeremy Clarkson was suspended when he had gotten into an altercation with Top Gear producer Oisin Tymon. Airings of the show were also suspended pending an investigation.
Clarkson is no stranger to controversy. Over the past several years, he has racked up quite a resume of pissing people off. Between homophobic, sexist, anti-environmental, and racist remarks, he has pretty much offended people from all over the world.
(you can read about his crimes against humanity here)
News of his suspension, and subsequent firing, has sparked enormous outrage. After Clarkson was suspended, a petition to have him reinstated went viral. Millions of people signed the petition. Even The Stig drove a bad ass tank to the BBC headquarters in protest of the suspension. Piers Morgan, a once mortal enemy of the Top Gear brood, voiced his support for the infamous Top Gear host.
Fellow co-hosts James May and Richard Hammond have stated that they will not continue on Top Gear without their fearless co-host.

My Two Cents:

I happen to be dating a man who is a huge fan of this show. He gets a sparkle in his eyes when he watches these men drive cars he can only dream of driving. He has been annoyed by the BBC suspending Jeremy Clarkson (and Top Gear). He signed the petition and was not pleased when Clarkson was officially sh*t-canned.

It is hard for me to feel bad about this firing, since Clarkson is pretty much a racist, homophobic, and anti-environmental misogynist. I'm pretty sure that he races these hundred thousand dollar cars to compensate for his mini-Clarkson (heavy emphasis on 'mini').

While I feel bad that my partner's favorite show is pretty much in the sh*tter, I'm glad that someone has put a stop to endorsing this sh*tstain.
To my partner, while I love you with all my heart and soul, we stand on different sides when it comes to this issue. I gotta stand by my principles.

Sorry guys, Jeremy Clarkson makes Britain look bad.

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

We as viewers followed Chef Ramsay as he ventured from restaurant to restaurant trying to save the failing businesses and repair broken relationships. The series aired for 7 seasons before ending in 2014. Since Gordon Ramsay ended 'Kitchen Nightmares,' many fans wonder which restaurants have stood the test of time, and which ones did not. As of right now, the restaurant closure rate stands at a shocking 69%. The restaurants that are still in operation stands at 31%. Most of the restaurants featured earlier in the series have since closed. Here is a list of the restaurants that have closed: Bella Luna Mangia Mangia Kati Allo Old Neighborhood Restaurant Amy's Baking Company (YAY!)
