Bad DOG! Mama and PapaWitch opine on the famed bounty hunter
I truly did not know how I felt about this very public, God-promoting, "smack my bitch up", publicity lovin', person...Duane "Dog" Chapman. When we first met Dog (not as an actual show character in and of itself but a portion of another show about bail jumping) - he certainly was selling a completely differnt bag of goods. Dressed respectably, non Bible-thumping, no "My Brother" and "brah", just a quick easy take down for the thug and a ride to the jail was all Dof had to offer. Then comes the accalimed A&E series DOG: The Bounty Hunter working from his own company, Da Kine, based in Hawaii. It was interesting but had definitely recieved a "facelift" - Dog had traded in his plain shirt and regular old Levi's for an open leather vest, healed steel toe boots, a mullet the likes of Bill Idol, and in insane need to have everyone be his "brah, "his brother" or something to that effect....Partner and spouse Beth traded in her over sized t's and plain pants for hoochie clothes - her boobies were as gingormous as ever, though. It was good initially but the redundency did it in and the "all too perfect" captures on EVERY episode left some legitimacy questions....I think the only "fans" left are there because they are family of the Dog or are "ooglers".......of a cast mnember; namely, son Leland. In any event, on and on it goes.....
THEN came "the call" between Tucker and the Dog in which the "N-bomb" was thrown around more than a ball at an NBA game - it was disgusting - and I am sure mentioned NOWHERE in Dog's beloved Bible. I didn't know what to think at first. Yes, I am not a HUGE Dog fan but, the man HAS done some good, he is a role model to many, WHY would he say and do such a thing???? Sure enough - the release of this recorded call between Tucker (Dog's zillionth son and Dog) reguarding Tucker's African American girlfriend) was followed by a SLEW of apologies by Dog - On Larry King Live, on Anderson Cooper, on Hanity and Colmes - basically anyone who would give him a forum.
Mama Witch saw this as an honest attempt at redemption and was begining to actually feel sorry for the Dog - let's face it...we all get angry and make mistakes and say things we don't mean. I'm a second chance gal! So imagine my thrill when I see that Dr. Phil opens his show to Dog and Dog's Minister to sit down with 3 of the most influential people in African American society....Rev. Al Sharpton, Oprah Winfrey and the much revered TD Jakes. What a great forum for Dog to make ammends, learn and grow from his faux pas! But wait...what is THIS?????? Dog and his people back out at the last minute!!!!! No real valid reason given.....
I mention this to Papa Witch as I am terribly confused and Papa Witch has a smart noodle! He brings up a good point - why is it so easy and Dog is so willing to make ammends to the African American Community to people like LARRY KING (Caucasian) NAITY AND COLMES (CAUSASIAN)...but not three AFRICAN AMERICANS????? Hmmmmmmm - makes you think????
So, at this time, I do agree with A&E for removing Dog's television show until he has made TRUE ammends to the RIGHT people and the American population as a whole can decide how or even if we will choose to support this dog....a dog we took into our homes, loved, fed, cared for and then had him bite us in the ass!
Blessings to YOU, Dog....may you find your way....
