"Just a mistake." Uh-huh. I just canceled HBO.

"It's not a choice, not a political statement!"

Wait. Are these aholes FOR "choice" or not?

[Hodar]

To use Obama ... well, that would be just racist....

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Sure am glad we have time to get outraged... OUTRAGED... about juvenile stuff like this.

Means all the important stuff has been taken care of.

[Minutemen]

Apology NOT accepted!

[SeekAndFind]

If I did not look too closely, I would not have known it was Bush at all...

[Liberty Valance]

I cancelled HBO 6 months ago. Pay an extra $30 a month to be insulted?
No mas.

[miss marmelstein]

No, I can see it immediately.

Some people also think that Christine Amanpour has a painting of two large carrots on her wall.

I don’t have HBO. Everything is downloadable over the internet via torrent. Why buy DVD’s and make these libtards money?

Everything for leftists in hollywood is political - the moment you forget that, you lose. I think everyone expected something just not exactly which show.

[LegendHasIt]

I wonder if it was used in the episodes that they let GRRM direct.

I know that he hates GWB with a passion that he would behead him, himself, if he thought he could get away with it.

[tgusa]

Pathetic sh!tbirds. I’d cancel them except I already did about 10 years ago.

[DTogo]

No doubt Tyrion Lannister would have a double entendre handy for this incident.

How is “Game of Thrones” a “hit”?

I found it amazingly lame and gave up on it after the first season. Every decision the protagonist made was the stupidest possible decision to be made in whatever situation he was in.

By the time he was killed all I could think was, “Finally, you had that coming, idiot.”

[Opinionated Blowhard]

By itself, it would have gone unnoticed. But they thought they could get some marketing hype by talking about it. And given everything else these A-holes do to slam conservatives and Republicans, there is no question in my mind that this was in fact a choice and a political statement.

[WKUHilltopper]

Yeah...do it first, then ask for forgiveness.

[The Cajun]

Apologies are good, I always accept them after thoroughly kicking the offending party's a**...........Works out well.

[eyedigress]

Oh well HBO. Might as well piss off whatever Americans still watch your drivel. Stupid....Yes, Mistake....No.

[eyedigress]

Call them and cancel anyway.

The problem with that attitude is that when you get to a "conservative"-based show you are far more unlikely to support it.
I believe, actually, that the "conservative" values (i.e. Justice) are the main reason that the super-hero movies have done pretty well.
Even the Green Lantern movie, which was poorly written, did pretty well considering that.
