For some reason, it's hanged when you're talking about being executed, hung any other time. Don't know why, but that's how I learned it and heard it over the years.

here you go genius:

HANGED/HUNG

Originally these words were pretty much interchangeable, but “hanged” eventually came to be used pretty exclusively to mean “executed by hanging.” Does nervousness about the existence of an indelicate adjectival form of the word prompt people to avoid the correct word in such sentences as “Lady Wrothley saw to it that her ancestors’ portraits were properly hung”? Nevertheless, “hung” is correct except when capital punishment is being imposed or someone commits suicide.

correct  terminology is "hung".  example...i hung up the picture.  you wouldn't say.." i hanged up the picture, would you?"  maybe i'm wrong...SCHOOL TEACHERS/ENGLISH TEACHERS...HELP ME OUT HERE! isn't one past participle, and one present participle?   

[Delusional Liberal]

i still wanna see the evidence of the hanging, if that really happened.
