Here’s a surprise – Dog The Bounty Hunter might be a teensy bit racist, in that he’s been taped furiously demanding that his son break up with his black girlfriend because he doesn’t much care for ‘niggers’.

Frankly we’re stunned. Who’d have thought that a man named after an animal, who makes his living by chasing wanted criminals and then attacking them with bear mace, who dresses like he’s going to a monster truck convention on the moon 20 years ago, and who constantly refers to people as ‘bra’ could even be slightly racist. But it turns out that Dog The Bounty Hunter is racist, and as a result his American broadcaster A&E has decided not to make his show any more. Hopefully Dog The Bounty Hunter isn’t too sad about this – because we’ve heard rumours that he cries tears of red-hot magma, and that would never do.
