Prelude to a series of Case studies: Jeremy Clarkson

From next blog onwards, I'm going to study Jeremy Clarkson's articles as published in "The New Sunday Times" and/or The Sunday Times (UK). Why? Read on...

It's because this "Joker's" write up of so called "Car review" always spent 2/3 of a typical article Talking crap before reviewing the car... The next blog is an "unusual " article written by him. This is a RARE article of him, going about reviewing the Mercedes A-class @ 1/2 of the article. The NEXT NEXT article of him is a review on Volvo XC90. The Volvo XC90 review is his typical car review, where he spent 2/3 of his article talking CRAP. But strangely, these craps eventually linked and/or lead to the car itself. The 3rd blog is his another rare article, Giving the subject car FULL 5 stars out of 5. There's going to be 2 more article, 1 depicting him THRASHING or Scrutinising the review subject car in which he played down Americans. This hurt an American in the process (when republished in Malaysia's New Sunday Times 1 week later) - see accompanying letter appended by me at the end of his review. Lastly, 1 of which is written by "HAMSTER", Richard Hammond.

I enjoyed reading his article. BUT I'm not a FAN of him. As he's racist, bad mouthed Malaysian and Korean cars. Two weeks ago, this joker criticised the NEW Civic Type R, giving it 2 stars out of 5. Ironically, TOP GEAR magazine gave the SAME CAR the "BEST HOT HATCH" title. Is it strange, when Mr Clarkson also worked as one of the columnists of Top Gear?
