Dale The Bold Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 The jump will be done without the flag (unless the protests prevail). Goes to show how society really does degrade over time. People have no tolerance for "good ol' boys" anymore. Stinking hypocrites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodOlBoy80 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 You know what I think would be cool? I don't know who they have planned to make the jump, but I think it would be great if they could get Craig Baxley to do it, since he was the one who did the original Oxford College jump 26 years ago.My second choice would be Corey Eubanks, which is probably who they'll go with since he's jumped a General once a year for the past 3 years at Dukes events.-Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Coltrane Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Thanks for the info, Dale. I gotta comment on something you said earlier:The jump will be done without the flag (unless the protests prevail). Goes to show how society really does degrade over time. People have no tolerance for "good ol' boys" anymore. Stinking hypocrites.This is crazy. MTV is afraid of offending somebody with the rebel flag on the car jump? Say what?! This doesn't make sense in the least, as the rebel flag on the General is visible in Jessica's video. For that matter, it's visible every @#$%& night on CMT when they air the original Dukes eps. Amazingly, there has been no adverse policial consequence to CMT, or to Jessica Simpson.*paging MTV, HazzardNet paging MTV* MTV, will ya'll PLEASE gitcher heads outta yer rear ends about the flag? Good grits n' gravy, after years of creative acheivements like "Beavis and Butthead" , not to mention videos that could double as soft porn, you're worried about this? Oh my GOD this flag might be objectionable!!! Hell, what on yer channel ain't? Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale The Bold Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 As I understand it, it is the college that wants the flag removed. MTV had two potential locations, with the college being their first choice. This is the exact location of the first jump, you know "...fightin' the system like a true modern-day Robin Hood..Yeeha!" THAT jump, that exact location.I'm not sure of MTV's stance on the issue (I think CMT is owned by MTV, anyway), but it's the college that 26 years ago didn't mind having that car fly over Rosco.

Brian Coltrane Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Man, that sucks. It also takes the air outta one of my better rants. Ah well.....I'd say that without the flag on the car - it's not worth the gain of the location. To me, there is more authenticity in the event, if the car actually looks like the General Lee in full uniform.

lost_sheep3 Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 I'm all for not being offensive to anyone, but when they go to these extremes - it's getting ridiculous!Keep the flag on the General Lee - the General is so well-known that it won't matter to most people.
