Has Game of Thrones gone too far? Scene involving group of prostitutes at start of new series..
UK Daily Mail ^ | April 9, 2014 | Laura Cox

A prince strips a posing group of prostitutes naked one by one as he selects a companion for the night. It sounds like a scene from a porn film, but this was the latest episode of the epic fantasy drama Game of Thrones, based on the novels of George R R Martin. The start of the gory series’ fourth season on Monday even managed to shock its own fans. .....................................................

Campaigners warned it could lead to young people being ‘desensitised’ to content once considered shocking and being influenced by the behaviour they displayed. Miranda Suit, of Safermedia, said: ‘What are [young girls] learning from some of these storylines?

I never seen the show but I do know enough it is NC-17 material that has previous shown lots of nudity, sex, incest and graphic violence. In its fourth season some people are now "shocked" some man of means is shown picking a prostitute. What parents would allow their "young girls" to watch to watch this show in the first place?

After seeing all the articles about the show, I watched it. It’s porn masked with a script.

its a soft porn show

the story sounded interesting but after a while I just could not stand the crudity - which does nothing to advance the story

It’s premium cable...you have to pay to get it. Anything after that is on YOU, not the show.

In Merry old England hookers had to display themselves naked to the clientele, marketing is all.

The show is very similar to the books it is based on. The very graphic nature of the scenes in the show is unnecessary. Martin has written a terrific series of fantasy novels with compelling characters. The sex scenes need not be so explicit or graphic in the novels or the show. The show would lose nothing that makes it genuinely worthwhile by toning down those scenes.

The other day, there was an article about Maureen Dowd fantasizing about the “Red Wedding” scene - but in her fantasy, it was liberals doing that to Republicans.

Not kidding.

That’s how whacked out lunatic the left is becoming.

As a fan of the show and books, yes they have gone to far in making for no reason Prince Oberyn an aggressive homosexual.

The character was not as such in the book. In fact, there was really on the vaguest reference of a gay relationship between two characters in the first book. It was never openly described or even discussed.

However, despite the fact that there is apparently an little flying fairy on the set somewhere with a needs more gay in it wand injecting gay into everything it can find, the scene with Arya and Sandor at the end was almost flawless.

It was just absolutely brilliantly filmed, and I loved watching it. The actor and actress who plays each are just phenomenal.

But please, Homosexual Box Office, we don’t need or want the gay. Seriously, keep that damn crap to yourself, because it’s obnoxious and boring.

I gave up on The Bridge for the same reason. Actually turned out to be a pretty disgusting show with only one likable character, the Chief of Police on the American side.

If Thrones cut out all the porn - it seems like an interesting story underneath there somewhere

Living with these people is like being locked in a room with a psychotic. He’s got his meds, for now... but he’s gonna run out of them soon.

That’s what it feels like. They’re mentally unstable and deficient in even the most basic sense of human morality.

i’d’say young liberal women flukes told them to embrace their inner slut pride.

First, it's a pay channel. Second, the porn scenes really don't add anything to the content -- and actually take considerably away from it -- so DVR the episode and FF through the objectionable parts. Third: Those things said, who is letting "young girls" watch this show? These days you have to screen all of the content for objectionable messages, including Disney, ABC "Family," and even Nickelodeon. What Hollywood considers "age appropriate" is even sicker than what's considered age appropriate in the public schools...

Exactly. It’s a choice. Don’t blame the show. We do too much of that and take away personal responsibility, always blaming someone else.
