There's a black guy around here that has a Confederate Flag plate on the front of his car. I've not asked him why. But I will one day just out of curiosity.....

The Duke Boys will get the last laugh when their movie wins the Academy Award for Best Picture.
To: Ellesu
They should have just kept going and modernized the movie completely by making Bo and Luke gay, Daisy a butch feminist, while Uncle Jesse and cooter run a meth lab.
Boss hog and the sheriff could lead a SWAT raid against Uncle Jesse, bust in and gun everyone down....only to realize they are at the wrong address.

Yeah, same here.... I'm just a year older than the show and I was a Dukes freak as a little kid. I kept watching it even after Coy and Vance showed up (all the while thinking "who are these chumps?").
I'm not going anywhere near this movie, though. No way am I gonna listen to these idiots tell me that peabrained Jessica Simpson is an appropriate substitute for the lovely Catherine Bach, or that Johnny Freakin' Knoxville ought to be a Duke Boy.
And this whole Confederate Flag thing.... geez. I guarantee you that by trying to tack on this "disclaimer", they're going to alienate almost as many people than if they'd just left it off altogether.

I'm white. I'm Republican. I campaigned for Bush. I am a vet. I hate political correctness.
I hate that flag.
Having said that, it is the height of hypocrisy and inanity to mesh with the G.Lee this way. Make the movie and be faithful of don't make it.

LOL!! Really, what IS the delay in the massive exodus of leftists? Could it be they don't REALLY want to give up the best lifestyle on the planet?????

"Before the era of political correctness no one found it offensive."
Bingo! That's how a lot of the PC crowd makes a living. We aren't smart enough to know what offends us, so they spend there days looking for things we should find offensive.

You proved my case, the only people that show could offend was/are white southerners.

One cannot realistically have a General Lee without the CBF. OTOH, they should use a '67 VW with a drunk driver and call it the Ulysses S. Grant.

What the holy hell? I'm not pro-Confederacy, but this is THE DUKES OF MF'N HAZZARD! How hard is it to just make a movie where two Southern moonshiners and their crazy relatives and friends drive around in a cool car and outwit/outdrive the crooked county government?
Those are my sentiments exactly.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR.... I hate seeing the Dukes Of Hazzard messed with by the PC Crowd. Yankees are ignorant of all things Southern.

If you put up the money, you can get any movie you want made.

Well, that little blurb was enough for me to decide not to see the movie. I was a big fan of the series, but it is really pathetic how they've taken a great show and PC'd it rather than remaining faithful to it.

Egads! My proofreading needs work. Should have read;
