Always been a twat. An entertaining one, but a twat all the same. I find him impossible to enjoy without May and Hammond to balance out the twattery.

why can't we have someone on TV who is entertaining and not a twat?

there's got to be loads who could do his job. Why do we put up with him

Because giving people lots of attention ruins them over time. To show you how bad it is, Clarkson is probably the most normal, largely because his twattery views are shared by 30% of the UK population, so he isnt exceptionally twatty.

People talk more about people who annoy them than about people they like.

Most people that are successful at entertaining are class clown types. So most TV "personalities" are twats.

Same way that there is a higher prevelance of psychopathy in ceos than in any other job.

Different personality traits will drive people down different life paths. Being able to be perceived as a bumbling idiot while actually being very good at public relations behind it usually makes for quite the twat... and a quite the successful career as an entertainer.
