Doggin' on Dog (The Bounty Hunter)
Duane "Dog" Chapman is like the crazy mulleted uncle that shows up to Thanksgiving chain smoking Marlboro reds on the front porch and telling stories about almost killing a man, while sipping on a Crown Royal on the rocks. Then, the drunker he gets, the more he talks about some road trip he took with an old Vietnam buddy in the 80's and how he met some beautiful coke dealer chick in an Arizona biker bar and that advice she gave him that changed his life but can't remember what she said.
Or something.
But being of that generation (aka my parents and uncles), there's still a bit of residual casual racism going on, even when the folks of that generation have friends and family of a different race than them. It's unfortunate, but true. Anyway, for the second time, with a different son, a tape of Dog on the phone was sold to the National Enquirer, where he spouted off the N-word without even batting an eye. At first, A & E suspended production of his hit reality show, and last week they straight up cancelled it, not saying whether or not they would bring it back. (Though, with the writers' strike, they may have to rethink that.)
Bodog has the odds on whether or not A & E will bring Dog's show back on the air. Woof. Yes is at +120 and No is at -160, which means that it's not looking good that you'll be seeing Dog on TV anytime soon. No more dramatic monologues in Hawaiian Pidgin about how he's gonna catch a brah? Say it ain't so!
And just as a small postscript, here's Dog on Larry King, all weepy-like:
