Reality Roll Call

After an eight month slap on the wrist for saying the n-word repeated in a tape released to the public by his son, Duane “Dog” Chapman will be back on the air with new episodes of his reality show, Dog the Bounty Hunter.
According to E! , cable network A&E decided that all has been forgiven and although a date has not been scheduled for a return to the air, all things are in place to start filming new episodes for the fifth season.

Honestly, you can’t blame A&E for bringing Dog the Bounty Hunter back, because it was their top rated show. After they suspended production indefinitely on Bounty Hunter in October, the only thing they could come up with in the reality show department was the very lame and stupid Parking Wars, which would have viewers believe that 80% of parking tickets in Philadelphia go to African Americans.

According to TMZ.com, cable network A&E has suspended production of their reality show, Dog the Bounty Hunter, pending investigation of a tape released of Duane “Dog” Chapman’s expletive and racially charged phone call to his son.

The story, which was first released by the National Enquirer, involves a recording of Chapman, seemingly explaining why his son could not date a particular girl. It appears that Dog did not want to take the risk of ruining his 30-year career, because in his environment they like to use the N-word, and he does not want to take the chance that, “some f****** n***** heard us say n*****, and turned us into the Enquirer magazine…” Talk about self-fulfilling prophecy.

Here’s a solution: how about you just don’t use the word, and then you don’t have to worry about anything?

Duane Chapman, star of the A&E reality series, Dog the Bounty Hunter has had charges dropped that were filed against him by the Mexican law authorities after they attempted to track down a criminal in Puerto Vallarta in 2003.

Dog and other members of his family traveled to Mexico in 2003 to capture Max Factor heir Andrew Luster, who fled to Mexico to escape several rape charges. The Mexican authorities did not want to hand Luster over to Chapman, and charged them with kidnapping. Mexico has anti-bounty hunting laws. When the Dog pack returned to their home in Hawaii, they were declared fugitives from justice. Chapman and family were finally arrested in Hawaii in September 2006.

As of now, all charges are dismissed by the First Criminal Court of Puerto Vallarta, however the prosecution has until August 8th to file an appeal.
