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

Posted on 06/14/2012 6:38:18 AM PDT by Rummyfan

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.”

Like we believe that BS!
It wasn’t a mistake or an oversight, it was deliberate and calculated.
Programmers don’t do this kind of stuff by accident.......................

I was an “extra” in a movie once, and I had to sign a whole pile of release documents before the filming began. Why didn’t HBO need a release form signed in order to use Bush’s head in the show?

If it was an Obama head they would be talking to the Secret Service and the media would be having a fit.

For the life of me, I'll never understand why the Left hates Bush (Compassionate Conservative) so much. I can understand it if they hated Reagan, but Bush? He bent over backwards to compromise with the Left. He refused to defend himself when the Left attacked him. If was his failure to defend himself that helped the Democrats take control of Congress in 2006. The Left should love Bush like they love McCain...

“Did you ever think how this “ACCIDENTAL” disrespect never happens to Obama...”

###

Hey man, it ain’t cool to pick on the hip negro.

“Cool” is a primary concern for these vacuous, puerile Communists. Can’t you just hear them snickering amongst themselves, like pimply-faced pubescent punks, over their juvenile little Bush trick?

Sure—tell me they didn’t have any oobama heads around.

I think we have bigger things to be outraged about.

Why does the left hate Bush? Simple. He refused to step-down and hand Gore the election.

Make no mistakes, they hate Reagan as much, he simply has been out of office too long to blame everything on him. Look at many leftists rants and they will still invoke Reaganomics as the “death of democracy”. Liberalism really is a mental disorder.

Who cares?

Why look for trivial things to be upset about?

You don't have enough real things to be upset about?

The worldwide left’s ongoing “political double standard” is, profoundly, sick! I wish that there would be a way to end this ongoing trend, asap and for always.

The implication to me is that imam obama would carry it out.

And where is the free visit from the Secret Service to HBO?

Is this not considered a threat to the former President?

And just why would they just happen to have a head of George Bush just lying around? What was the original purpose of said head?

Another MSM accidental coincidence.

Wait wait wait, where are those who were certain just yesterday that people were making a big deal out of nothing, that we were ‘seeing’ what we wanted to see!

Juveniles at HBO stike again, how unexpected!
