Duke It Out

A small brou-ha-ha has erupted with the opening of "The Dukes Of Hazard" movie. It seems that purists of the television show on which the movie was based feel that the film does not hold the wholesome family values that the series promoted. Now, I NEVER, EVER, EVER watched the show, however I have a vague familiarity with it. The two main characters were a couple of good 'ol boys in extremely tight blue jeans showcasing their well prounced.........shall we say, packages. They tooled around the area in a souped-up red Camaro enbossed with a confederate flag. The supporting cast had every southern, white trash stereotype covered. They even had a buxomy blonde wearing a cut off top and a pair of Daisy Dukes - her name escapes me for the moment - to give the male fans a bit of eye candy. So, how the film can "denegrate" this supposedly wholesome image escapes me. All I know is that there is no way in Hell that I will be seeing this pathetic piece of crap. Update: It has been brought to my attention that these good 'ol boys did not drive a Camaro......It was a Dodge Charger. I deeply apologise for this unfortunate error.

I think it was a Dodge Charger named the General Lee.

I am sorry that I don't know EVERYTHING about this classic television series. Tie me to a still and beat me with a burning cross.
