I once saw for sale urinal cakes with Obama’s photo on them.
I dislike Obama, but that was too much.
I see the Left isn’t so principled.
In before the long list of links.
All these websites moaning about this have given so much advertisement to the fact that his head was on a stake. Something which I am sure less than 1% of the viewers actually noticed while watching. On the dvd they mention that it was not intentional to use the head but they worked with what they had. Since I love the show I will give them the benefit of the doubt and believe what they say. This is being blown way out of proportion, and why do people even care about this?
Another one for you.
The purpose of this latest ‘Tempest in a Teapot’ is to bring up the name ‘Bush’ during this election cycle. The episode this originally appeared on was over a year ago.
They (Liberals) want people to make a big deal about it to draw attention away from Romney and once again make this election Obama v. Bush. Getting upset about it now is playing into their hands.
They want you to be upset and make noise pointing to a largely popular TV series. It just makes conservatives look dumb. Be upset about unemployment, be upset about Obamacare, be upset about any number of things he’s done - ignore the tomfoolery of his supporters. It won’t stick to Obama - he didn’t put the head on a pole.
Saw it posted earlier today with a photo of the head on a “geek news” site. Despite the link title saying “topless” there’s no nudity on this page at least. Think it’s a “new movie” Star Wars joke...

Just replace Bush with JugEars and watch the Leftist’s heads explode!
I guess they think it will create buzz and make lots of people go see the movie.
Reprehensible.
I doubt that they intended this, but any libs on the set who thought that this would be funny only managed to imply that GW was one of Ned Stark’s men; i.e. one of the good guys. And they probably didn’t realize that since Obama is the Joffrey Baratheon of American politics, an abusive, spoiled child who throws tantrums when he doesn’t get his way, the prop makes sense from that perspective as well.

Bush's severed head on a spike. The scene first aired last year and was repeated on a DVD release in March. But in a particularly bad piece of timing for HBO, stories about it spread online this week, when the network premiered a documentary on Bush's father, former President George H.W. Bush. Bush's head was one of several on spikes in a scene where King Joffrey reveals to his fiancé the severed head of her father, who he had judged disloyal. The... |
