[It’s being reported](http://theclicker.today.com/_news/2012/08/30/13568283-report-confederate-flag-may-be-removed-from-dukes-of-hazzard-general-lee-toys?lite) that toy versions of the General Lee may now be produced without the trademark Confederate flag atop the roof.

And let me say that I am shocked…SHOCKED! I say…that they’re still making Dukes of Hazzard toys.

I have a bar of General Lee soap from when I was, like, 10, still in the plastic. Every now and then I get the urge to open it up and lather myself up with it. But now it might become some sort of redneck collector’s item.

Sounds like somebody could make money selling aftermarket confederate flag stickers for DOH General Lee toy cars 🙂
