Makin' their way the only way they know how


Ben Jones, the former congressman and actor who played Cooter on TV's Dukes of Hazzard, is urging moviegoers to boycott the feature film.

"From all I have seen and heard, the 'Dukes' movie is a sleazy insult to all of us who have cared about the "Dukes of Hazzard" for so long." [...]

"Sure it bothers me that they wanted nothing to do with the cast of our show, but what bothers me much more is the profanity laced script with blatant sexual situations that mocks the good clean family values of our series," he declares. "Now, anybody who knows me knows that I'm not a prude. But this kind of toilet humor has no place in Hazzard County. Rather than honoring our legendary show, they have chosen to degrade it."

I haven't seen the script, but I don't think Jones has much to worry about. Moviegoers are likely to boycott the flick out of sheer good taste. On the other hand, fans of Coy and Vance are likely to show up in droves.

The sad thing is that I knew what you were talking about when you said, "fans of Coy and Vance are likely to show up in droves.", sad, just sad.

Drat, John beat me to it. I was going to ask WHO?

I think this flick will go to DVD right quick, so I'll wait. Besides, then I can fast forward past the junk and watch the General Lee, Jessica Simpson, The General, Jessica, Jessica, Jessica ... I might not even turn the sound on!
