Anyone see that verizon commercial where the kids get the enV phone from verizon and he asks something like what did dad get. It sure sounds like he says dad got hoes.
Got a tip for us?

Wouldn't it be hos?
Lest we think dad intends to do some tilling of the earth (Read: some hoeing)?

yea he sorta does sound like cleveland, i've seen the other one where he says dad got diddley squat.
Somewhat. But I was watching some of the behind the scenes stuff on one of the Family Guy DVD's, and leaned something somewhat disturbing. There isn't a single black person on the writing staff, not even the vocalist for Cleveland. Given the amount of racist jokes, I had taken them as tongue in cheek. But when it's just a bunch of white people making jokes about 'racism', it's somehow not as funny anymore...
I didn't think that black people use the word "hosed" anyway. But that is what he says in the commercial.
Maybe they were trying to broaden their market.
Mmm, now I'm trying to think if I've heard a black man say "hosed." 
Despite knowing this, I spell it "hoe" as well. Well, not that I spell it often....

lol. Maybe they used the word "hosed" on purpose to create a buzz and make people talk about it. No one can call it racism or anything, but at the same time we can wonder if he said "hoes", "hos", "hosed", etc. Very clever by the marketing people. Or just dumb luck
. Either way, lots of people are now talking about Verizon because of "hoes". Ahem, I mean "hosed".
In the Ludacris song "Area Codes", the lyrics are spelled:
I got hoes....in different area codes...
Hmmmm.
lol.
Hmmmm.
I don't think there's been consistency about it.
Maybe at the World Summit of Hip-Hop Artists at the Hague in 2008, we'll get some final answers. God knows hip-hop has needed an international steering committee for some time! My other observation is that, if I had text messaging when I was in grade school, I would have gotten so little work done.
And my parents would've been very upset about the bill! FYI, the actor's name is Isiah Whitlock Jr. Anyone who has seen the HBO series "The Wire" may recognize him as senator Clay Davis, a corrupt politician.
Below is a link to HBO's page about him.

Why? Can black people only make black jokes, and white people only make white jokes, and christians only make christian jokes and hindus only make hindu jokes?
Look at the writers for TV shows and movies and they'll mostly be white males. It's not like Family Guy is unique in this aspect.
