Did anyone hear about Cooter (Ben Jones) forewarning DoH fans not to see the movie on his website? I read a small article about it.

A former “Dukes of Hazzard“ TV star claims the movie version is sleazy and urges fans to forgo it
The Dukes may bring more hazard than acclaim to the big screen. A former star of The Dukes of Hazzard TV show is urging fans to skip the upcoming Jessica Simpson, Johnny Knoxville, Seann William Scott version of show, calling it a sleazy insult.
Ben Jones, who played the wisecracking mechanic Cooter on the popular series from 1979 to 1985, said the profanity and sexual content in the film make a mockery of the family-friendly show.
"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," he said.
It appears that Jones doesn’t know family-friendly no longer sells like it used to 20 years ago, and hundreds of thousands of boys and girls alike will probably flock the theatres just to see Jessica Simpson in her Daisy Dukes.
