The General Lee - Bo and Luke Duke's vehicle of choice from 'The Dukes of Hazzard' - is a classic and instantly recognizable Hollywood car. But it's about to get a little less recognizable as Warner Bros., the studio that owns the theatrical, DVD and licensing rights to 'The Dukes of Hazzard,' has decided to remove the confederate flag from all future versions of the car.
The news has reportedly been floating around the hobby community over the past few days as 'Dukes of Hazzard' collectors became aware of a new regulation. A collector on HobbyTalk.com was told by a representative at 'Dukes of Hazzard' toy company Tomy:
Starting January 1, 2013 all Dukes of Hazzard General Lee vehicles will not be allowed to be produced with the Confederate Flag on the top of the vehicle.
According to the toy rep, the word came directly from Warner Bros. who no longer wants to endorse an item that has the Confederate flag printed on it.

Blasphemy.
PC is eating away on society like a cancer.

I’m sure the name “General Lee” will have to go next to sate the bloodlust of the P.C. gestapo.
Why not just paint it pink and call it the Caitlyn Car?
And it’s getting very aggressive...
This has been the most ridiculous news day of the stupidest decisions I have seen in years. The idiotic symbolism over substance culture is insane.
I figure NASCAR will be next. I wonder if concerts will ban people from bringing them as well.
the media frenzy and jumping on the bandwagon continues. Screw them all. I have kids and they are raised not like these elitist , pompous , PC fools
So, it WAS the flag that killed those churchgoers.
Now I understand.
Is this satire please tell me this idiocy is satire because if its not..our country is already gone, I knew that but this pretty much confirms it
Will hollywierd now quit making anything that offends anyone??
Will the name of the Lord cease to be taken in vain in movies??
Even Orwell would be amazed.
Yep got fooled should have read that part
Called this one earlier today.
But this doesn’t go far enough. The show should never run again, anywhere ever. The movie should be sh*t canned. Any actor that participated in either the show or the movie should be ejected from the country.
In fact anyone who worked on any part of the show or movie or profited from it in any way should be arrested and then ejected and then arrested again.
Oh, and Boss Hog should be dug up, arrested, then ejected, then arrested again, and so should Rosco.
And every Dodge Charger should be rounded up and vaporized with a laser so that no one can every reproduce this car again.
Orange is the new black!
what is up is now down in the Obama world and the bias media.
The media and the fools can tell me what ever , but in the end I raise my kids how I want.
This only confirms to me to fight even more against this foolishness.
I bet they never even saw the real flag of the CSA
