Fox News ^ | 6/24/21

HBO did not respond to our request for comment, but as outrage mounted Wednesday, they 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.

There is absolutely no way that none of the graphics artists who prepared the scene (including putting the wig on that head), or the director who is supposed to notice every detail, did not notice the resemblance.

When no one noticed their little scheme, they had to divulge it themselves. It is a win win for them. It makes the conservatives furious and it gives the libs their hateful little thrill. It will increase viewers and it will make it some sort of icon for the haters in the progressive party. It may even lead to a gruesome murder someday.

If Obama was ever portrayed like that on a conservative station, the Progressives would howling like a bunch of dogs in a neutering factory.

Oh, such hypocrisy. So you’re turned away by a political figure’s head on stick (whom it doesn’t even look like) but not by the nudity, sex scenes, incest, rape, child murder, or child rape? I suggest you take a step back and think about what you just said you babbling moron.

As for the rest of the idiots who haven’t even seen the show, watched the scene, or viewed the picture I laugh at you. You ramble about the injustice of something you’ve never even seen. The funniest part is, it doesn’t even slightly resemble him!

“Oh, if it was Obama they would of been upset!” To that I say that they would have to be just as immature as you are. To take a scene half-a-second long and blow it up into a controversy like this is outrageous.

“HBO’s ‘Game of Thrones’ parades President George W. Bush’s decapitated head on a stick” is amusing. It shows just how ignorant FOX News is and gives me very good reason to never trust a single article on the site. Pitiful. I’m ashamed to call myself a Republican now.

To conclude my ‘rant’, I’ll leave you a piece of advice: grow up.

You shouldn’t have said “rest”. This idiot read the books, saw the show, the scene, and the picture.

If it was all so bad — why did you watch it all?
