George Bush's decapitated head appears in Game of Thrones

[Synthaholic]

This is why I read rather than paying ridiculous rates for HBO.

I don't have to put up with idiot film makers pushing their political agenda at my expense.

Nothing says political agenda like a fleeting side shot of a Bush head with a wig in a Sci-Fi show that 99% of show watchers never saw and 99% don't care about.

Then why bother to put it in at all?

As I said HBO is a fucking rip off anyway. I read the entire series years ago and I might have rented the DVDs. Don't know if I'll bother now.

Even more stupidity. Read the linked piece.

Something else to pretend to be outraged over! Weeeeeee!

You ought to know... you slimely, bubble headed liberal shit bags are pros at it.

What site will let you moderate once you can't come back to this one?

While I wish that equality had been administered and obama's head used as well, I did see the episode in question and didn't recognize the head.

‘Game of Thrones’ Apologizes for Using George W. Bush’s Head on a Stake - The Daily Beast

went unnoticed until a Reddit user flagged it.

went unnoticed until a Reddit user watched with the commentary on.

They've actually acknowledged it was in poor taste..

"We were deeply dismayed to see this and find it unacceptable, disrespectful and in very bad taste," the network wrote on their Facebook page. "We made this clear to the executive producers of the series who apologized immediately for this inadvertent careless mistake. We are sorry this happened and will have it removed from any future DVD production."

They have to. To appease the idiots who pretend to be outraged.

which king......oooooo quatar ,,,,,,,,,,yeppers i forgot about him...

Qarth?

The only Black guy in the series, and they make him a liar and a fake.

Damn those racist, wingnut Hollywood conservatives!!!!!

And the dragon queen character had him locked alive in a vault to die with his bed-mate (her former attendant).

That's right. The super blonde killed the black guy.

Of course she also sent the creepy white bald quiffy feller up in flames, too...

They said why....because they had it lying around and need prop heads for the scene. If they wanted to drive home some political message why not have his face point directly at the camera? Why put a wig on it?

You can not like HBO or not but to pretend like any of this is important is fucking hilarious.

yea yea qarth....


o give me a break.....some smart ass prop person did this....they most likely leaked it to the media...what fun is a prank if no one notices

I think you are probably correct.

But to whatever extent it was deliberate, it was still a tawdry shit-ass thing to do.

Question: did you click the link and read those things that we call words?

Why yes. And unlike you, I didn't have to have help or move my lips.

They must have learned that trick from their friends al Qaida.

Beyond disgusting. Show canceled everyone responsible arrested for treason.

arrested for treason? Seems like overkill to me.

If people want to watch that garbage let them, ive got better stuff to do.

Lol! As someone who finds racial humor absolutely hilarious and feels like this country is -way- too sensitive about race, even I noticed that shit. Also, he had a giant vault that was an absolute marvel, filled with EMPTY. It was like the medieval fantasy version of a Corolla on 22's.

Seriously, though, all of a sudden conservatives and republicans are mad about media disrespect of a president? I'm willing to bet you folks weren't nearly as pissed about all the, "I sho do loves campaignin!" Obama monkey demotivationals.

And dems, don't think I'm siding with you on this either. When people online are calling Obama a socialist on their posters, you dicks are practically foaming at the mouth. When righties act the same way about their president, suddenly they're overreacting and being dopes. GTFO of here with these double standards, all of you.

I'ma still watch season 3 next year. The books are definitely better (when aren't they?), but I have to say the casting and acting in the HBO show (other than Kahl Drogo using that over-the-top, Christian-Bale-Batman'esque voice constantly) are fuckin -FANTASTIC-, the politics of those involved notwithstanding.

And discussing politics online is better than wathing Game of Thrones.

How exactly am I wrong?

Crazy pretty, just the right level of bottom heavy. . . the girl's definitely a head-to-toe-stunner as far as physical attributes are concerned.

Classless move and no surprise for the haters.

But, good for HBO for realizing it was classless.

 

[LeftofLeft]

You can't make this shit up....

Wait, is that

Left Logic.....Assassinating or decapitating Bush is art yet criticizing Obama is racism.

Don't have to.

As I said I don't really care what HBO does. They air Bill Maher after all so how good can Game of Thrones be?

not many black people in europe at the time.

After watching Game of Thrones, too f-ing many.

Oh look..

We can agree.
