CBS fires <em>Dog House With JV & Elvis </em> shock jocks

Harry Mok - May 12, 2007

The Dog House with JV & Elvis, was hosted by Jeff Vandergrift and Dan Lay. They aired the bit a few weeks back, but nobody complained until it was rebroadcast after the Don Imus firing. Then Asian American groups started a campaign to have the Dog House crew canned.

I looked around for the clip in question, but didn't find it. I'll keep looking, but if anyone knows a link, please post.

Is it offensive? Without hearing it, I don't know, but it would seem to be on the surface. But to some people it may be funny. There's a fine line between satire that's humorous and has a point and something that's offensive, especially when it comes to race.

Here's some other blogs commenting about it:
