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.

I cancelled HBO 6 months ago. Pay an extra $30 a month to be insulted?

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

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.

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.”

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.

People need to get over it. It’s not like anybody noticed. The episode aired over a year ago, the DVDs have been out for 4 or 5 months and NOW somebody finally paid attention to the commentary and found out. Should John Carpenter apologize to Bill Shatner? Sometimes a mask is just a mask.

I canceled a about 3 months ago over the Margaret Thatcher show. I’ve enjoyed many HBO series. I signed up for it because of Band of Brothers, then Rome, the Pacific and now Game of Thrones. I had read the entire series of books and was quite excited by it.

When I first saw that head on a pole it was vaguely familiar. I was thinking Mel Gibbs from Braveheart. I think its interesting that the explanation is that they had a head modeled after George Bush’s, “just laying around.”

They said they got it from a prop company. I would be interested in knowing the provenance of that head. Who made it? When? Why? Where else has this head appeared? Because, if its never been used then it was just one of those cute little “FU” jokes that the left likes to play on us.

I read elsewhere that the show is the #1 piracy target. I still want to watch it. I just don’t want to pay for it.

I wonder what would happen if people not only cancelled HBO, but if they called up their HBO provider and read them the riot act?

Mistake my foot.
