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. As of now, this directive only expressly includes merchandising but Warner Bros. is developing a new ‘Dukes of Hazzard’ movie with Jody Hill directing and if they’re being this strict about licensing issues, they could very well enforce the same policy with the upcoming film. But what is a ‘Dukes of Hazzard’ property without the General Lee with the flag painted on top? What do you think? Is it a smart move for a company like Warner Bros. to distance themselves from the symbolic nature of the Confederate flag or do you think it’s an overly PC kneejerk reaction.
Poster Comment: Fine. No more Warner Brothers pictures. I'll just pirate them on the pirate bay if I want to see them.

Have you watched any old movies on television? They censor out ALL references to drugs, even funny ones. Some of the great movies from the 1970s are so chopped up to the point that all of the original meaning (and humor) is completely lost. Of course, the Stars are Bars are goners. Many other things too. What kind of a country have we become in the last 40 years since I was a kid??? We've become a cowardly, sanitized society, in the service of government correctness. It's sick and wrong. Display it all. Put it all out there. Let's inflame some passions. Let's start a conversation. I love Disneyland, but the United States of America is NOT Disneyland.
Warner Bros are racists.
