Come On Baby, Kick Them Daisies

The new "Dukes of Hazzard" movie gets a big 10-1 from Cooter. And that's not a good thing.

Ben Jones, a former Georgia congressman who played the wisecracking mechanic on the popular series from 1979-85, said profanity and sexual content in the film make a mockery of the family friendly show.

"Basically, they trashed our show," said Jones, who now lives in the mountains of Washington, Va. "It's one thing to do whatever movie they want to do, but to take a classic family show and do that is like taking "I Love Lucy" and making her a crackhead or something."

Jones said he read a script of the movie, which is scheduled to be released next month, and that it contained profanity, "constant sexual innuendo and some very clear sexual situations."

On Wednesday, Jones wrote an open letter to fans on his web site, cootersplace.com, urging them to stay away.

Getting over the fact that Jessica Simpson is Daisy ... but Burt Reynolds as Boss Hogg and Willie Nelson as Uncle Jesse? C'mon, it has to be the greatest film of 2005!
