A tale of two racially insensitive episodes
Duane "Dog" Chapman drops several N-bombs in a private telephone conversation and he loses his television gig:
"A&E has now pulled Dog the Bounty Hunter from the air indefinitely. 'In evaluating the circumstances of the last few days, A&E has decided to take Dog The Bounty Hunter off the network's schedule for the foreseeable future,' the network said in a statement Friday. 'We hope that Mr. Chapman continues the healing process that he has begun.'"
Halle Berry uncorked an anti-Semitic slur on NBC's Tonight Show, which was sanitized by the network, and then issued a half-assed apology in which she hinted at how many Jewish friends she has.
Is Ms. Berry's reputation ruined and her career over? Not by a damn site. Indeed, it's only a matter of time before we see her in another one of her craptacular big screen efforts.
