Papa’s Basement 6-18-12-Game of Thrones Puts W’s Head on a Stick

I tend to be a lefty pinko faggot politically, so I want to admit that potential bias before disclosing the following: I didn’t see the reason for HBO‘s feigned uproar when they learned the creators of Game of Thrones stuck a prop George W. Bush head on a stick and used it in the background of the show’s Season 1 finale. The creators said they were simply out of heads and it wasn’t a political statement. It sounds plausible. Sure, Hollywood is a land where men are free to marry their male pets and the women run the show and pee standing up or whatever the Heartland’s nightmares are of the place, but I also bet that, since the invention of CGI, there just aren’t a lot of spare heads lying around to stick on pikes. If anything, we should be commending them for using olde-timey special effects.
