'Game of Thrones' put George W. Bush's head on a stake

[Shadow]

More double standards from the progressives in the entertainment industry. Wonder if we will see Clinton's head on a stake...or maybe even Obama's soon?

Oh...and it wasn't a political statement....Riiight.

One of the many decapitated heads that appeared on "Game of Thrones" last season was a prop likeness of former President George W. Bush, its creators revealed in a DVD commentary.
In the tenth episode of the first season, Sansa Stark looks at several heads on spikes. One belongs to her father, Ned, and another to the former United States president.
Show creators pointed out their use of Bush's image, but said they weren't making a political statement.

"George Bush's head appears in a couple beheading scenes,"
"It's not a choice, it's not a political statement"

No, of course not. I hung president Obama in effigy on a burning cross last night and it wasn't a choice, it wasn't a political statement.

...note to President Obama: Please note my obvious sarcasm. I'm not an "imminent threat" to the United States. I love my country.
Please don't take me out with a drone strike.

Awwhhh TK .... now you went and blew it. You can't come to the barbecue cause drones are following you. You can, however, send your wife as proxy.

I dropped hbo and Cinemax because of the price; showtime and tMC are way cheaper.

LOL. Reminds me of an old quote from a relative living in an apartment way back in the day. I asked him if he had "On" TV. He said no. All he had was HBO, the "poor man's 'On' TV".
Don't know why that has stayed with me to this day.

First time I ever saw one of those massive dishes I thought "you're rich!".
Really, those things were enormous back in the day. Were they only 8'? They seemed like 12' when I was young.

I've never had any of the premium channels. I get enough choices with just the standard lineups.

I've ran the gamut. I didn't even have cable from 2009-2011. Then my wife's friend started selling it and got us a deal, which was the family pack. But it didn't have any news or sports channels; nothing really, just locals and nickelodeon/ Disney. They design those packages so well from a business perspetive; I pay a grip ($60, including internet) for almost nothing, but for another $30 I get everything but hbo/Cinemax or the super sports every game packages.

I was wrong ... I have Dish satellite and I have premier package, but no premium (HBO, etc.) channels. I wanted to make sure we had the History Channel and a couple of others. Got some I could care less about, but had to pay for to get a couple that I wanted.

Have never bundled. Comcast internet, no land line, and Dish. I do love being able to record my shows so I can skip the ads.

They were 10'. I had one back in the 80's. They were great at first. You could watch shows without the commercials. You could watch feeds of what was going to be presented on network channels that coming week. You could watch news feeds being sent live from all over the world. I watched live feeds from Panama when they went after Ortega.

Could also watch all the movie channels for free. There were something like 600 channels available. Then the scrambling began and it was no longer worth having.

I don't even remember to be honest. I just remember thinking like you "wow that dude must be rich" I never even watched a tv that was hooked to one I don't think.
