Yep, my Colombian born wife loved that show when growing up in Medellin, Colombia! So I'm pretty sure the Canadians got it as well, eh!

So what? Why would that be a problem?

Wow, this lady is just as nuts as the one who refused to see a non white doctor for her kid.

Make that 'was', not 'is'. The movie was a flop that didn't make its money back.

The Dukes' time has come and gone like a lot of the 20th century TV shows.

I find that she thinks she has the right to tell people what they can and cannot display at a car show or she will threaten violence of some sort, to be far more offensive than anything that car could possibly represent.

That was difficult to watch. She showcased stupidity, screaming vulgarity and false pride, all in one package.

Actually I understand her aversion. She's probably too young and too Canadian to associate it with a television show.
Even then, the response is not warranted.

It doesn't matter the history, because like it or not it's associated with fighting for slavery, and has been used since then in bad ways. People need to realize what that represents to people who have had family members lynched by people honoring that flag. It should not be honored anymore. And I say that as someone from the south. Keep it in museums for history, but have enough respect not to put it all over your house or car.
