Who really gives a shit anyway?
This is nothing more than a case of a man in the celebrity spotlight without a clue as to how he should act. And while he should've learned from Mel Gibson's mistakes, acting is essentially all this boils down to - stardom isn't about who you are, it's about who you appear to be. It would've been in his best interest not to appear to be a racist.
And while I can empathize with not wanting to introduce different cultures into your family, I can also understand why any company would be unwilling to continue to support Dog and his show after such remarks and in such racially charged times.
Menoman, since this obviously isn't a matter of freedom of speech nor is it a matter of double standards, are you actually arguing that people shouldn't be allowed to be offended by racial remarks? These may be racially charged times but you (and almost everyone else in this thread) are reading way too much into this.
