HBO’s hit series Game of Thrones, full of nudity and gratuitous sex, uses a lot of prosthetic body parts on the show. On the season one DVD commentary, the show’s creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss explained that one of the heads, decapitated and piked by King Joffrey, looks a lot like George W. Bush.The Right-Wing is in full outrage mode and calling for a boycott of the show.
Benioff and Weiss have issued a statement:
After the scene was already shot, someone pointed out that one of the heads looked like George W. Bush.
In the DVD commentary, we mentioned this, though we should not have.
Ya think? No one would have noticed if not for the DVD commentary.
Only those on the Right who condemned Ted Nugent’s comment that Obama should “Suck On My Machine Gun,” have earned the privilege to complain about the Game of Thrones incident. That would be nobody.

pete,
Iol … perfect!
ha, i knew cheney would get him for not pardoning scooter
Stupid is as stupid does!
Wishful thinking?
Matt ((*_*)) and once they said Bush I could only him as the head and no one else.
Don’t make the Geico cave guys angry. They have an attitude problem.
Are you sure that the head doesn’t look like George Herbert Walker Bush? Just asking. Where’s the silver spoon?
Between merkins and poutrage I’m learning two new words today. Thanks to JT’s Digest.
What OroLee said!!! :-}
I’ll just have to see for myself……
They should have just kept their stupid mouths shut if there were serious as to why Boy Blunders head ended on a pike. There were only a certain number of rubber head available & his was one of them. Nobody would have notice & now the poutrage about Hollyweird librules will flow like mothers milk
Suicide in the U.S. military veteran world is at about 6,570 a year.
Rape of women in the same military is about 19,000 a year according to the DoD, with 1% being prosecuted for rape. Their punishment is as if it was for misdemeanors.
Accountability is missing. Nexus?
Thought a prosthetic bush is a merkin. Guess I have a new name for my least favorite president — the smirkin’ merkin.
Sure looks like him. Poppy said one time to a reporter (Sarah McClendan?) that the American people would tar and feather them if they knew what the Bushes had done to the country.

I saw that HBO is editing it out both for replay and on the DVDs.
I guess I’d better rush out and buy Season 1 now.
Saw this on the news, never saw show but, exactly, until they said it I thought it looked like the Geico caveman
