HBO Apologizes for Bush Head in ‘Game of Thrones’ DVD
NY Times ^ | 14 June 2012 | David Itzkoff

HBO has apologized for a scene in its hit fantasy series “Game of Thrones” that showed the decapitated head of former President George W. Bush on a pike and said the scene will be removed from future DVD releases, the Web site io9.com reported.

...

“The last head on the left is George Bush,” the producers say in the audio commentary. “George Bush’s head appears in a couple beheading scenes. It’s not a choice, it’s not a political statement. It’s just, we had to use what heads we had around.”

Typical liberal cowards...get the benefit of impressing all your liberal cohorts and then deny you did it on purpose. Did you ever think how this “ACCIDENTAL” disrespect never happens to Obama, Clinton Or Kennedy???

All the people who lose their heads in the show are men of courage and honor, so in a way it is a compliment.

They’re lyingg. They made their statement, had their giggle, and now they’re trying to CYA to prevent hurting sales.

Just another reason to hate HBO.

That is so incredibly phony.... happened to have a head of George Bush lying around.

Why don’t they happen to have a head of Obama or Saddam Hussein or Ben Laden?

If anyone knows anything about video-game design, we certainly do know that ^everything^ is approved at the highest level. No design aspect goes without scrutiny to avoid copyright issues and to maintain secrecy until release.

In short, they are lying...again.

To make amends just replace the Bush head with Obama’s head in all future releases.

Fair and balanced - it’s the right thing to do.

Somehow I don’t think HBO meant it as a compliment.

Not good enough.

HBObama needs to be punished the way Rush and Breitbart have been.

HBO (as a whole and individually) hasn’t 1% of the class G. W. Bush has.

HBO: “Well, we would have used Obama’s head, but his ears are too damn big. We would have used Mrs. Obama’s head, but, hell, we couldn’t even look at that! So we decided to use Bush’s head, because, you know, we just had one of those lying around!”

George Bush's head was in good company.

That is the fate of good and honorable men under the reign of the tyrant bastard Joffrey.

Look what happened to Eddard “Ned” Stark. All for trying to obey the law and the dictates of honor.

When ever they cannot explain, they always have in reserve...

Must be Bush’s fault!
