Well, I didn't think it could get any lower after the Great TV Reunion Disaster of '97, but I think I've just been proven wrong. Today it was announced that Hollywood has hired an overexposed princess to play Diasy Duke.

That's right, the media creation that is Jessica Simpson has somehow managed to score the role of Lil Bo Peep in the yet-to-be-filmed-mockery-of-my-childhood that is The Dukes of Hazzard Movie. It's probably gonna be a real stretch for her, so here's hoping she does a good job.

From the Mtv propaganda piece announcing the casting decision:

"I would love to be Daisy Duke," Simpson told MTV News in March. "I think that would be so much fun, just to wear the shorts. I would get to have my own car. I think it would be a blast."

Uggh. Daisy drove a Jeep. Not a car. A Jeep. It was white CJ7 and it was awesome. Sure, she drove some dumbass car in the early episodes, but seriously, who remembers those? Not me. I remember the Jeep. And that dog Flash. That dog ruled. He was always howling and stuff. Crazy dog.

And to be clear, my point isn't to do a "look how stupes she is" message, it's to go on record as saying that today was the day that the very integrity of the institution that is the Dukes of Hazzard was officially completely and totally destroyed.

First the tootsie-pop owl sells out and now this? It's been a bad month to be a child of the 80's.
