HBO is continuing to do damage control after producers confirmed that a model of President George W. Bush's severed head appeared in the season one finale of Game of Thrones. The premium cable network has pulled the 10th episode of the drama from rotation on digital platforms -- including HBO Go and iTunes -- and halted all future shipments of its best-selling Season 1 DVD set, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

When I first heard about this, I was reminded of all those animated Disney features where some lowly animator took some ..ahem.."liberties" with a scene. They do it just to see if they can get away with it. Show producers going public in an effort to create 'buzz' is stupid. HBO might be lefty, but it's a business.
And every now and then it surfaces, like Jaws's dorsal fin. These are aliens, not people like us. I don't hate any left-wing politicians ... I just want them to be voted out of office and go live in Kenya or somewhere, not bothering me. But these people truly wish harm to President Bush, even though he never did anything to them, and even though he's not president any more.
This is just a small incident, but it's a salutary reminder of just what kind of people our opponents are.
So when do we get to see the head(s) of the individual(s) that cost HBO all this cash and embarrassment? Around their water cooler they are being hoisted on shoulders, that's why.
You know, if you think about it, they actually complimented GWB. Presumably, he was one of the Stark guards or servants who got butchered by the Lannisters. And now Robb is seeking to avenge his death.
I’ll bet you think advertising doesn’t work on YOU...and that subliminal ads should be legal - who can see the stuff anyhow, right?

Anyways.....settle down.
I hope HBO has to pay a huge penalty for this in many ways...
like whoever said, if this was obammey, Lord, we'd have 24/7 diatribes and marches..
