Ben Jones, who played Cooter on the original “Dukes of Hazzard” TV show and later served a term in Congress, has spoken out against the upcoming “Dukes” film, calling it "profanity-laced script with blatant sexual situations that mocks the good clean family values of our series." Oh yea, there was nothing sexual about the series that introduced the world to “daisy dukes.”
Thanks, Ben, but sorry- I will be seeing the movie, and I’m not about to take decency advice from a man named “Cooter.”
Though thankfully, it appears as though that expected controversy over whether or not the film’s General Lee would be adorned with the Confederate flag never actually materialized.
