Oh, gawd, just freakin' shoot me. I am so sick and tired of this crap. Weren't all these annoying liberals supposed to move to Canada when George won again?

For example, Bo and Luke ask a group of African-American college students for directions. "Is this a joke? Some kind of reality show?" one of them asks. Bo, the dimmer of the Dukes, explains the flag is cool and that their friend Cooter, a Civil War buff, painted it when he fixed the car. But Luke understands, and explains to Bo that some people find the flag offensive and a "symbol of slavery." That Luke, he always was perty' smart.I was already planning on missing this movie. If this scene is in there I know I will miss it.

Like anyone was going to see this movie anyway.
To: Ellesu
It's not a controversy to as many people as the media makes it out to be.

I'm black and I loved the General Lee. Every kid black or white that I know loved that show, and that car. I watched it religiously.
Before the era of political correctness no one found it offensive.

Lukes observation is true enough, but does he mention that said people who take offense at the CBF are dimwitted ignorant anti-Southern bigots?

I would never go see the movie, but I wouldn't mind seeing some photos of Jessica Simpson wearing really short cut-off blue jeans.

Best I can do for a picture of the roof is a toy model car.
All the pictures from the show show it from the bottom as it's jumping over something!

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?
All I want is to see Bo and Luke defeat a crooked band of counterfitters/smugglers/bank robbers and have Daisy look hot. Is that too much to ask?
To: Dooderbutt
I'm with you! I had a great-grandfather, his father, several of their brothers fight and die under that flag. They didn't own slaves. They were fighting for what they believed were states rights and against the opression of the northern states. I am sick of it too.
