Refried Screens

When Ving Rhames’ dogs were accused of killing his caretaker, sites like Perez Hilton, TMZ, and US Magazine, revered for their celebrity journalistic integrity, jumped on the bandwagon because of the Michael Vick dogfighting hype.

What’s this? Doggie owner racial profiling?

Subconsciously, they probably thought Ving Rhames was involved in the dogfighting as well. After all, he’s black and has dogs, just like Michael Vick. They forgot that Ving Rhames is a Golden Globes winner.

And, unlike Michael Vick, he has a soul.

He cried for Jack Lemmon, two times, fer Pete’s sake!

But Refried Screens did not believe the hype:

The dogs were in no position to defend themselves and putting them to sleep without due process would be unconscionable.

Fortunately, the truth was finally revealed:

A man who died at the home of action star Ving Rhames most likely did not die from bites from Rhames’ dogs, county coroner’s officials said Friday.

In wake of all of the unfair blame, Ving Rhames and his dogs deserve a Jesse Jackson apology…
