HBO Apologizes For Using George Bush’s Severed Head On A Stake In Game Of Thrones

LOS ANGELES — HBO has apologized for using a model head of former President George W. Bush in a grisly decapitation scene for its hit drama “Game of Thrones.” The tenth episode of the first season of “Game of Thrones,” now out on DVD, features the younger Bush’s head on a stake. Commentary on the DVD notes that his head appears in a “couple of beheading scenes.” The show creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss stated that George W. Bush’s was used as physical inspiration to create a head for a scene in which King Joffrey shows Sansa Stark her deceased father’s head on a stick. “It’s not a choice, not a political statement!” one of the writers insisted during the DVD commentary. “We just had to use what heads we had around.” HBO did not respond to FOXNews.com’s request for comment, but as outrage mounted Wednesday, the network released a statement saying they were “deeply dismayed to see this and find it unacceptable, disrespectful and in very bad taste.” HBO also said the scene would be removed from future DVD pressings. The producers also attempted to explain the incident. “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,” their statement read. “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.”
You know George Dubya loves this shit. Probably watches Thrones every week jumping around his room pretending to be a Dothraki. Pretends Joffrey is Obama and runs around his room yelling about dragons and shit until Laura tells him its time to quiet down for bed. He’s probably over the moon right now that he’s getting a Game of Thrones shoutout.
Meanwhile Slick Willie probably watches every week pretending he’s the imp. Just balls deep is as many whores as possible using his wit and charm to get by. Only difference between Bill Clinton and Tyrion Lannister is about 2 and a half feet. Impin ain’t easy!

Could you imagine the outrage if this was Obama’s head?
if it was Obama’s head the ACLU would force HBO to stop production of the show and a federal investigation into a possible hate crime would be launched…it’s Dubya so a couple religious busy bodies made a few calls to HBO and they got an apology…but now it’s over
How long have you been waiting to use the “Impin ain’t easy” line? You nerd.
Solid point Jack, but if Dubya was the president when this happened I think there would be a bigger fuss about it. Could be construed as a threat of harm to the president.
otwisted…I dunno…nobody seemed to get in trouble when Bush was being burned in effigy during Iraq War protests on college campuses around the country…I’m very socially liberal but they are such thin skinned babies sometimes…just ask Rush Limbaugh and Tracy Morgan
trying to remember which president’s likeness planet of the apes was modeled after…
crosby you are an idiot – just need to stir shit up wherever possible.
i’m no obama lover but this is pointless. can argue all day about what might have happened if it was obama’s head now or bush’s while he was still in office. waste of time.
Who gives a flying fuckin shit. Worst president in US history.
slow day
Fuck HBO and liberals
Too bad it wasn’t his real head
George Bush of the House White, Second of his name and former protector of the realm
Yo, Brickkilledaguy, were you nervous if you were going to get your and you’re mixed up? I don’t see a problem with asking the question….chill out hardo.
the guy who thought of this should pay the iron price
KFC did you actually start watching GoT or did you just Wikipedia this one?
“impin aint easy” is probably one of the greatest lines I’ve heard in a while. lovin that shit
if they canceled the show over this shit their would be outrage around the world.
@boxmuncher, put the pipe down, you must be fucked up to make that statement with the assclown we now have in the White? House.
