HBO's hit series Game of Thrones might contain some real-life lessons about family, but at the end of the day it’s still a fantasy show – for most of us. However, the show apparently is startlingly realistic for at least one artist out there.

Namely, rapper Snoop Dogg, who seems to believe that the dragon-infested world of GoT is real ... or at least was real.

Agreed. A product of the ghetto and public education, as well as smoking too much weed.

While it didn’t actually happen it IS based on history. He took a handful of real world dynastic kerfuffles and turned them into a high fantasy story. So he’s half right.

Seems some people cannot tell reality form someone else’s fantasy. Drugs?

If you took a poll in Colorado....40-percent of adults would tell you it’s true and from French or Brit history. But 50-percent of the people who watched Amish Mafia thought it was real and true.

Yes, George RR Martin is an avid student of medieval history, so there are details in GoT that are somewhat accurate when it comes to detailing life back then.
However, if Snoop is referring to Dragons and all that, then yeah...he's been hitting the hippy lettuce too much.

If the KKK came up with a caricature of a black man that was intended to be utterly offensive ... it would be Snoop Dog.

Smoke what he gets his hands on and you would think Breaking Bad was the story of the first president of the United States too.
