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.
Take a look at Fast & Furious, especially Bohner, and I've got to admit the party doesn't deserve respect and does deserve getting slammed.
Marketing hype for what? The DVD that reveals this came out months ago and season 2 ended weeks ago. Random junk gets used all the time in shows. Somebody says “we need more heads on sticks” so they dig in the closet and walla, heads on sticks. That’s how the Star Wars Cantina scene happened, every random mask they could get a hold of.
