Dog is Done on A&E Until Further Notice

According to Variety.com, cable network A&E has dropped reruns of the reality show, Dog the Bounty Hunter from its primetime schedule “for the foreseeable future,” as a direct result of the taped phone call released to the press in which Duane “Dog” Chapman repeatedly refers to his son’s girlfriend in racist terms.
Although Chapman wasted no time in apologizing for his statements, advertisers began to pull out of the series, which averaged over 2 million viewers per episode in its original run.

Thank you Chuck for the comments. I agree with you I really don’t think he meant it they way they are taking it. I really have never watched the show because it doesn’t appeal to me, but I think is son is wrong for going public with the phone call.
Thanks, Chuck.
“Dog” the bounty hunter…axed from A&E for his comments. Well…it goes back to a comment I make around the country as a Motivational Speaker – Every Choice Has A Consequence. I know…I served time in Federal Prison for my choices. “Dog” used the “N” word in a manner that is likely natural for him and in an emotional way that would suit his educational background and lifestyle. The difference – he is in the media light. Every Choice Has A Consequence – and one can’t use background, education, or any other excuse to justify their choice and the resultant consequence. Genarlow Wilson, O.J. Simpson, Martha Stewart, Richard Scrushy or Mike Nifong (former Duke prosecutor) – each has made a choice that has resulted in negative consequences – no different than I. Perhaps we are becoming more aware that we must take the time to make wise choices – so we can enjoy the positive results that can follow.
