The Creators Of Game Of Thrones Are Sowwy For Putting Dubya's Head On A Stake
After a Redditor noticed that George W. Bush's head makes a cameo appearance during a beheading scene in season 1 of Games of Thrones, heads exploded off of necks and some people freaked out so hard that the producers and HBO had to be like, "Sorry, gurl." David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, GoT's creators, say they weren't trying to make some anti-Bush political statement and they just happened to buy a prosthetic Dubya head from the company they buy fake heads and limbs from. I'm going to tell GoT's creators the same thing I told my dog after he squatted a caca out right in front of a hot piece I was checking out on the street: "Bitch, you know you did that on purpose." Here's their apology via Deadline:
We use a lot of prosthetic body parts on the show: heads, arms, etc. We can’t afford to have these all made from scratch, especially in scenes where we need a lot of them, so we rent them in bulk. After the scene was already shot, someone pointed out that one of the heads looked like George W. Bush.
In the DVD commentary, we mentioned this, though we should not have. We meant no disrespect to the former President and apologize if anything we said or did suggested otherwise.
HBO also tried to soothe the throbbing b-holes of Dubya lovers by saying that they're going to remove Dubya's head from all future productions of the DVD. If they did this shit as a stunt, then it worked. Because everyone's going to be running to buy the DUBYA'S HEAD ON A STAKE EDITION.
And I'm still waiting for the producers to apologize for putting Brit Brit's old, ratty caca weave on that stake too.

And no, talking shit about Obama is not the same as talking shit about Bush, because Obama's haters are mostly white men who hate him because they're racists, not because he's oppressing them.

As a libertarian, I have no special love for republicans, but I do think people who think this is funny have exchanged some of their humanity for hatred, and its disturbing to see.

Snort. I guess it makes a big difference to you who gets all the hatred.
Bush's fake head on a stick is sooo offensive and insulting to presidential dignity and shit. Hating and exploiting women like this site does every single day? No problem!
Apparently only men with powerful jobs are fully human and don't deserve hatred.
My perspective: Oppression is experienced by oppressed people as hatred. When they return that sentiment to its sender, it shakes some folks up, because the weak aren't supposed to be allowed to express anger at the strong.
No high ranking dude deserves respect just because he managed to lie, cheat and steal his way into public office. Bush has earned all the hate he gets and more.

And I so hope you never receive what you MAY be deserving of! Knowledge is power.... Get some!!!
Thank you, Dallas !!!!!!!!!!!
This is utter fuckin' bullshit. I'd like to see the pulsating forehead vein of every liberal if this was done to Obama. Bitch. please.
“I fired MacArthur because he wouldn’t respect the authority of the president. I didn’t fire him because he was a dumb son of a bitch, although he was.”
― Harry S. Truman
Although I disagree with President Truman's opinion of MacArthur, I do agree with the respect for anyone holding the office.
This is weak though. I mean if you want to get totally out of line string up a pinata.
The point (for the several of you who have missed it) is that in a bonus feature for the DVD the creators of the show bragged about using Bush's head for a decapitation scene, and the fact that they are now "sowwy" for going public with their little inside joke tells you how much shit they're getting from fans who are most probably NOT conservative (at least not religious conservatives because I don't think they would even have HBO). And the point of that little bit of inferred info is that more and more nonpolitical people who believed every shrieking word that came out of liberal anuses during Bush's presidency are beginning to understand that those words were lies because our b-holes never throbbed under Dubya but we are anally hemorrhaging with the narcissist we have in the WH now.
That being said, Michael is a genius (although a poor, misguided one) because I got straight on Amazon when I read that HBO planned to take out THE ENTIRE SCENE where the Bush prosthetic was used (and I can see very clearly that that head IS Bush's). Anyway, now I find that a great many of you don't like the show and I don't know if I just wasted my money.
I am an equal opportunity haters of ALL politicians of both parties, however, this is bullshit and inappropriate.
So the Dixie Chicks are traitorous bitches and these guys are apologizing, but people can call Obama a Muslim Kenyan nigger and....crickets?
lulz.

HBO's outed themselves as conservative haters--so lots of folks will avoid them now--great way to increase your sales. They get lots of money at the public trough, so they have offended some of the politicians who give them corporate welfare.
So, a heartfelt Clinton apology "I'm sorry for receiving the bad consequences of my actions."

I thought it was awesome to see Natalie Dormer join the cast.

They should've kept quiet about it. I don't like Dubya but but I think it's disrespectful.
That's the thing - no one even knew or cared until they brought it up. Now they're like "Oops!"
They just wanted to get attention for their stupid DVD.

I was about 6 episodes in before I managed to get it even somewhat straight.
Me too. I don't see myself bothering with season 3.
I don't care for fantasy in general. But, as someone who has read and enjoyed The Silmarillion, believe me I have the attention span for superfluities as long as it takes me from point A to B by the end.
With GoT there is just no pay off for spending that much effort reading or watching the story. With Tolkien's work there are a lot of things to gain from putting the time and effort into reading, and also watching the movies.
This is a freak show stunt that got them some attention! End of... Not gonna defend dubya in ANY WAY, shape, or form EVER, though...
Foxxy, that's right, where's the Cheney mask? It'd be great to wear it with a hot nurse outfit next Halloween! hahaha ;D

I was a skinny, pink preemie. I looked like an earthworm until I was two months old.

I heard they tried to use Obama's head but there wasn't a stick big enough to fit.
Jesus don't these people have more important things to worry about? If it where a fake Obama head they would be jumping for joy. Idiots.
The only thing I want to know is: where the hell is this place where you can rent a bunch of fake severed heads?
I'm thinking it would make awesome decoration for a birthday party, for somebody who's really into medieval roleplaying.

The Democrats just heard someone was ahead, they proposed a tax.
True fact: 10 years after Oliver Cromwell died, the King of England had his corpse dug up so he could have him beheaded.
Who cares, it's a prop. Faux outrage from conservatives who never would have known about it had it not been mentioned. Get over yourselves.
For the first time since Obama has been President, someone in this country is finally ahead.
Just one more reason dumbya is afraid to leave texas.
was the Cheney head sold out? nobody cares when a VP is mocked

Honestly, I am not a fan of the Bush family, but I think that is disrespectful of the office of the President.
Now get off my lawn, you whippersnappers.
************************************************************************************
Yo, G...I'm not on your lawn.
Meh...big deal. I'd let them do it with a copy of my noggin. But then I find humor in shit like this.
Imagine the outcry if they did this to Obama!
Game of Thrones = Porn for parents' basement dwelling RPG video gamers and Renaissance fair re-en actors.
This show is full of sex...the only reason I watch it... I mean...yeah anyway...like Bush or not, but that is disrespectful IF THEY meant for it to look like Bush. if not then...no big deal.
Coma Caca!

I apologize for HBO's apology. HBO did not mean to apologize, it was just a stock apology laying around in a box of corporate apologies. It won't happen again.
Wow, people were looking at the heads that hard??? I watched Season 1 a couple of times and didn't even notice.
They shouldn't apologize. It is a TV SHOW, not a political statement. Everyone needs to relax and enjoy the show.

I'm obsessed with GOT. Absolutely love that show.
As far as this, I just think that this opens a window for another heated political debate. No one knows how to argue any more without getting disrespectful and personal. Especially when it comes to politics.
I think putting ANY president's head on a spike is disrespectful no matter how you feel about him. Not cool. Just my $.02.
*liked GoT season 2* lol :p
Actually they should've put Martin Van Buren's head on a stick. Americans would be like, "Martin who?"
I can't believe W would care. He'd probably laugh it off. It's not Republicans who's heads are on sticks you have to worry about crying, it's libs with sticks up their asses. They boo-hoo'd the Obama as The Joker SOCIALIST poster.
How did anyone even notice it was Dubya's head?
People really neeed to sit the fuck down, relax and not read everything into everthing that really needs nothing.
I already read about this shit on some other website where I was greeted with millions of "This is disgusting! I'm canceling my HBO!" comments. Yeah, that will bring this country together, people. Riiiight.
