Degree honour Clarkson hit by pie

Jeremy Clarkson was hit with a pie after picking up an honorary degree
TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson had a pie thrown in his face after he picked up an honorary degree at Oxford Brookes University on Monday.

Mr Clarkson, the face of BBC Two's Top Gear, said "great shot" when hit.

His honour has been criticised by green campaigners who said he had a poor stance on the environment. A protest was held before the ceremony.

Mr Clarkson was nominated by the School of Technology for his championing of high standards in engineering.

Clarkson, who lives in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, has declined to comment on the criticisms from environmentalists.


He took it with humour, but I would have been pretty p*ssed off it it happened to me (not that I am likely to be offered an honourary degree by any university!)

I'm guessing these were the muppets who organised the petition that was subject of a thread here a while back? Good to see the powers that be treated their opinions with the contempt they deserve.

"Great shot" what a response. Good to see he didn't do a Prescott and totally lose his head.

Don't these people realise there are thousands, nay millions, nay billions, nay, well lots of people starving in the world and they go round throwing pies at celebrities who can probably afford their own pies. How irresponsible. Do they not also realise that comedy pies contribute to global warming.

Remember three pigeons die every time you throw a pie. And an amazonian indian and a small gazelle and a child and a pygmy hippo that is probably one of the last on earth and could hold the clue to curing cancer. Fascists.

It's true you know I read it in the...


in the...


well my girlfriend, Rainbow, told me actually but it is true.

I know you get told that you're getting an honorary degree from Oxford University, and when you turn up it's only the bloody Poly.

His british reaction to the pie has left the greenslime with pie on their faces as he didn't rise to the bait. Well done Clarkson!!!

I'd love to see someone get one of those enviroMENTAL leader types in the face with a pie, preferably a meat pie as they are probably vegitarian, now THAT would be absolutely hilarious, bet they wouldn't take it half as well either.
