The Culture Wars Continue

So, the Confederate 'Battle-Flag' (I always assumed it was the regular Confederate flag, which shows how much I know) may be coming down from the grounds of the Capitol in South Carolina, may finally be removed from the flag of Mississippi, and is no longer being sold by various retailers such as Walmart & Amazon.  But this...surely this is a step too far.

What have them Duke boys gotten themselves into this time?

One of the most iconic pop-cultural images of the Confederate flag — atop the famous "General Lee" car in The Dukes of Hazzard TV show — is about to fade away. Given current controversies swirling around the sale of merchandise bearing Confederate imagery, Warner Bros. Consumer Marketing has decided to stop the licensing of General Lee toys and models with the flag. 

Noooooooooooooooo !
