Despite several apologies, actively seeking out black leaders and having the minister who performed his wedding - who is black - speak in his defense, A&E will remove "Dog The Bounty Hunter" from the network lineup. The show has not been canceled, just taken off the air. This move is a result of Dogs racist tirade during a private phone call with his son. Yesterday, Dog issued this apology:
"My sincerest, heartfelt apologies go out to every person I have offended for my regrettable use of very inappropriate language. I am deeply disappointed in myself for speaking out of anger to my son and using such a hateful term in a private phone conversation. It was completely taken out of context. I was disappointed in his choice of a friend, not due to her race, but her character. However, I should have never used that term.
I am meeting with my spiritual adviser, Rev. Tim Storey, and hope to meet with other black leaders so they can see who I really am and teach me the right thing to do to make things right, again. I know that all of my fans are deeply disappointed in me, as well, as I have tried to be a model for doing the right thing. I did not do the right thing this time, and hope you will forgive me. We learn from our mistakes, as my story of overcoming a life of crime has proven, and I will learn from this one for the rest of my life."
A&E was apparently unmoved, and issued this statement earlier today:
"In evaluating the circumstances of the last few days, A&E has decided to take `Dog The Bounty Hunter' off the network's schedule for the foreseeable future Friday. We hope that Mr. Chapman continues the healing process that he has begun."
Hopefully none of the people at A&E who canceled his show are black. Because this probably won't help.
FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no one watches that fucking garbage anyway. also, any man who looks and dresses that ridiculous should be shot in the face.
Well now it's the Dog's chance to go save the fucking dolphins

I saw a mexican on a snowboard once.

maybe they should just spray him with some bear mace as a punishment, then he can go with Christ..brah.
Are you sure it wasn't a pinata?
"I know that all of my fans are deeply disappointed in me…"
Yeah, bullshit. 'Dog the Bounty Hunter' viewer = redneck asshole. That was a wink wink if I ever saw one.
how do you do that little line over the letter n?
lol and check out Skinny McFuckstick on the left. he looks so goddamned TOUGH!!
A tilde? I always copy it out of search results, like search Google for pinata, and voila!
Piñata
Also, what an idiot. I referred to someone as the n-word like 20 years ago when I started college, not to their face as I was a pussy, but anyway it still amkes me feel like a dumbass today. Like my vocabulary and life experience was so little, I couldn't come up with a vaguely humanoid way to express myself.
The first amendment is for queers!
I like the chick on the right who is convinced she looks like Halle Berry in X-Men. Her man wears a t-shirt that has "IF YOU CAN READ THIS THE BITCH FELL OFF" stenciled on the back.
Jeez, how horrible. Not. These people look like they are still stuck in the 80s. !!!
It didn't help his case that he chose "Al Jolson" as his Halloween costume this year…
It was a private conversation with his son :S
Mammie!!!!!!!
