Bounty Hunter "Dog" uses N-word

[micfranklin]

Television bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman has apologized for repeatedly using a racial slur in a profanity-laced tirade during a private phone conversation with his son that was recorded and posted online.

Chapman, star of A&E's hit reality series "Dog the Bounty Hunter," issued a statement apologizing for the comments after The National Enquirer posted a clip of the conversation in which he uses the N-word in reference to his son's girlfriend.

"We take this matter very seriously," A&E spokesman Michael Feeney said in a statement Thursday. "Pending an investigation, we have suspended production on the series. When the inquiry is concluded, we will take appropriate action."

Pfffft, forget Iran, Iraq, the drug war and all other issues in general, here's a real crime. All this news and headlines over a word. Pathetic.

I suppose they will also begin a massive investigation into the illegal recording and publishing of this private conversation.

Yeah, they better.

Not a suprise at all. He is obviously a hick redneck piece of trash. I bet his series is dropped.

[micfranklin]

"Hick" and "redneck" are pretty rough statements there Lab. And I don't watch his show but that doesn't mean it deserves to get dropped.

I'd hate to be his son at this point. He either better have a very understanding girlfriend or find a way to balance his relationship to his black girlfriend with his relationship with his racist father.

Watch his show then. "rough"?...no ...accurate...yes.

It isn't the word but the attitude that the news article exposed that is the problem, MicFranklin.

RRD.

I don't get why their are so many Dog haters in this thread but I'm gonna tell you that the Dog gives others second chances and always gives a word of advice or help towards the criminal and always tells the criminal after hes done with the prison time he will help them if they want it. So why the hate the guy has to deal with rotten scums every day so 1 word ain't gonna kill a single person you have to see the environment he's in to understand.

[micfranklin]

Since it was a private conversation, I hope he sues them for invading his privacy.
