Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson has sued Illinois debt-collection agency AFNI (famous for sending demand letters to dogs) for attempting to collect invalid debts from Minnesotans. "This debt collector crossed the line by pursuing debt people said they didn't owe and failing to verify that they did owe it," Swanson said. The office received more than 50 complaints about AFNI Inc.,
This is a great time for the Doghouse with baddog show, we have been broadcasting 1 year on the internet air waves. Time so flies when you are doing something so fun. We have tackled the toughest subjects we could find, that only can be done on the internet. The doghouse is a featured show, broadcasting off of Nowlive.com. We are in great company with such people as, Adrianne Curry of America's to
This is of course a blog, and for the first time I started this, I'm going to post a blog about what I am thinking about and see what happens. Well I think i am at a cross road with the doghouse. I have been doing this for almost a year and its time for it to grow or give it up. Everyone that is part of the doghouse is awesome and they deserves better and they should be noticed by the world. The crew and myself have day in and day out have changed normal talk shows with topics into comedy talk. There is no format, just straight out Improv on what people say or what is typed in the chat room. I'm not sure what I am going to do. I have put over a five hundred hours of broadcast time into this venture and still get overlooked in the entertainment news industry by physco celebrities going in a
Dogging is a British euphemism for engaging in sexual acts in a semi-public place (typically a secluded car park or a cinema) or watching others doing so.Dogging craze is sweeping the U.K. with the wide use of the internet and text messaging. This is another form of swinging for most people. Swinging Heaven dogging site has over 865,000 members. Dogging Central will give you the ten commandments of dogging etiquette. I think this fuels their animal need for outdoor exhibitionism.Sometimes you dont know whats out there until you look. I guess if you need to express yourself in a public place in front of other people, more power to you. I guess when the next time I hear she is a dog, it brings a whole new meaning to what I thougt. Oh hell, lets go farther with this and really get into our an

I think its about time I introduce the doghouse crew to all of you. The doghouse started back in June and has grown into a crazy talk show about everything and anything. Its been a blast to talk to many people in the Entertainment field and even the ordinary joe on the street. I have made many friends broadcasting that I normally wouldnt even have the pleasure to meet. I started looking into broadcasting after I listened to a show called "thats estertainment" with a great comedian Ester Goldberg. I knew after listening, I had to see more. I then went to a show called "Brotherly Love" with Meroll and Croll. Some of the funniest people I have ever heard. I knew after listening to these great guys I had to do this Broadcasting thing. The show was started with my daughter Amanda and My Wife
Last night in the Doghouse, we announced a promotion to drive traffic to both the Doghouse and to our websites. If the Doghouse gets 69 people or more IN THE CHATROOM, CHATTING, we will reveal how each person participating in the show and reading the blogs will make money. This is not a scam. The Doghouse is not Yuwie, we are not a pyramid-scheme. We have real money to give away. Actually, the above isn't entirely correct. Money won't be given out solely for appearing in the Doghouse. If we get our target of 69 chatters, though, we will reveal, in detail, how each person participating in the show can get this money. There are specific actions that each person will have to do to obtain the cash. How? The Redneck Radio Network is having a scavenger hunt. It won't work like a typ
As we are all aware by now, Duane Chapman (aka "Dog the Bounty Hunter") has ended up in a spot of trouble over a racist rant he let loose during a phone call to his son Tucker, over Tucker's dating a black woman. And in a move that would make Oedipus turn green with envy, Tucker provided a tape of the profanity-laced diatribe to the National Enquirer.Evidently, Chapman pere has been reading from the Michael Richards Damage Control Handbook, as he threw himself on the mercy of Rev. Al Sharpton, who advised him to "march with us" [during an upcoming Sharpton-led rally in Washington, D.C.] To its credit, A&E has suspended production on the upcoming season of Chapman's show, pending an investigation of the events.Take a moment to let that sink in, and then wrap your brain around the following: even as Duane Chapman is at risk of exactly the fate that caused him such apparent vexation during his ill-considered phone call - that of losing everything that he worked for over the use of a
Police who raided the Arizona home of DMX on August 24 have revealed that they found half a pound of suspected illegal narcotics in his home. The authorities entered the rapper’s home after neighbors complained that X’s dogs were constantly barking and being mistreated. Police say they found twelve distressed dogs, the remains of three burned carcasses, “assault style” type of weapons, along
I have recently added Spot's Doghouse to my list of music blogs, finding this great blog earlier this month through Matt Heller's hellafrisch blog. This blog is written by a horn player currently playing in the Orquestra de la Comunitat Valenciana. He was also in the New World Symphony and went to Northwestern (my alma mater) for a bit. Great writing--a real insider's look at the professional orchestral world, much like Michael Hovnanian's CSO Bass Blog.Related Posts:CSO Bass Blog featured in On An Overgrown PathBernard Haitink and the Chicago SymphonyMatt Heller's Clagary Philharmonic storyTime Off - CSO Bass Blog'Trout' Fingerings - CSO Bass BlogMatt Heller featured in New York Times article

It was back on February 4, 2003 that I decided to go ahead and open Tha Doghouse to the public. I know it’s hard for many of you to believe that, but yeah Tha DH has been around for a good minute. The site started off as just a message board, and was that way for several years. Then as time went on, more and more members joined, and this thing called The Rapsheet was started. I would post a weekly rap-up of entertainment news & gossip, and that basically evolved into what you see now. More info about Tha DH’s history, as well as an archive of past layouts/designs/formats, is located after the jump.
I first came up with the idea to make a website way back in the summer of 2001, when I saw a story on NBC about a young girl who started a successful teen website called Goosehead.com. I thought it was a great
Hey guys I just wanted to give you all the opportunity to let me know what you think about the site. I noticed that people haven’t really been leaving comments so I just wanted to make sure everything was cool. I would really be happy to see what yall think of Tha DH, so please leave a comment and tell me how ya feel. Thanks for all of your support!
After switching over to a blog format last summer, Tha Doghouse saw a HUGE increase in visitor’s. These stories got WAY more hits than any stories on our past formats (you guys remember The Rapsheet right? good times).
I have compiled a list of Tha Doghouse’s Top 5 Stories of 2006… The results are based on incoming links from the web’s most popular search engines… enjoy:
5. THE MICHAEL RICHARDS SCANDAL
Michael Richards’ (best known as Kramer from Seinfield) outrageous racial rant during a stand-up performance at the Laugh Factory in L.A. had people across the nation in shock. The video of the debacle, which was originally published on TMZ.com, was one of the most searched items of 2006, and Tha Doghouse received HUNDREDS of hits after posting the video along with Richard’s apology. The scandal even earned Richard’s the nickname of Ku Klux Kramer… If you never saw the video, here it is:
