Give it a break!!!

When I first read about Dog’s latest fiasco I thought it was something he has said “on the air”, and I could understand, and even agree with the outrage. I now read that it was in a “private” conversation that he was having with his son on the telephone, unaware that his son was recording the call. His son, Tucker, then sent the recording to The National Enquirer for “a lot of money.”

As offensive and indefensible as the remarks were, nobody would have been hurt by them had his son not chose to make them public. Doing so has now created a national outrage with many innocent people being hurt, not the least of which is Dog himself.

The A&E TV network released a statement today announcing that Duane “Dog” Chapman’s hit reality series would be removed from its schedule “for the foreseeable future.”

And now Hawaii’s NAACP is actually hosting a public forum on Sunday to hash this out further, make more news, and no doubt hurt even more people by calling more attention to the hurtful racial slurs that were made.

I sometimes think that too many people don’t have enough to do, and the media creates more problems than it reports. Let’s get back to work.
