HBO rolls over, pees on itself, apologizes for putting 43rd President's head on a stick.

quote [ "It's not a choice, not a political statement!" one of the writers say during the commentary. "We just had to use what heads we had around." ]

Come on, HBO, it's not as if I wasn't going to buy the Blu-Ray, it's just that money has been tight.

Just like John carpenter was trying to tell everyone that Will Shatner was an unstoppable killing machine.

Fuck's sake.

Don't get me started on William Shatner. Or his penis.

I meant +1 funny.

Also, I was just about to comment that we're a little dry for this month.

So there's a prop company renting out Bush heads?

Cleaning deposit on that must be a bitch.

The real problem was that Bush was watching game of thrones and for about 30 seconds was legitimately scared that his head has gone missing.

Whoever commented about it on the DVD seems a bit daft, especially calling it a "head" instead of a "prop". Wtf were they thinking mentioning it in the commentary? They should have been like "My gosh we never even noticed! Oh you lovable scamps in the prop department scrounging for any way to save a buck."

Oh crap. Cue incpenners and erich weiss whining about violent bloodthirsty liberals.

incpenners said @ 12:10am GMT on 15th Jun
No whining from me.

But are you gonna complain if someone hangs an effigy of Obama from a tree?

mrklipp said @ 12:50am GMT on 15th Jun
I don't know.

Do you suspect they will do it with Obama wearing a wig and facing at such an angle that it's impossible to spot without pausing it and having the director tell you to look for it?

I'm actually more interested in your take on naked chicks farting, penners. Somewhere out there is the kink that will enlarge your three-sizes-too-small heart and get you to rejoin the brotherhood of Man. But what could it be?

You really don't see the difference between intentionally hanging an effigy of a sitting president and a cash-strapped TV show (why do you think they completely skipped over the battle scene in season 1 with Tyrion getting knocked unconscious) using whatever dummies and prosthetics are available, unknowingly including a a dummy head of a former president that wasn't readily discernible to most viewers?

Oh, so you read the comments.

While we're on the subject-
Most Americans, including half of all Republicans, still blame Bush for the bad economy.

Prob'ly 'cuz the Librul lamestream media keeps on puttin' Obummer on the TV (with TELEPROMPTERS!) to keep on blamin' Bush for everything that's wrong with 'merica!

Apparently the Fast and Furious operation isn't exactly coveeing the administration in glory, but it isn't exactly news that the ATF are incompetents. A couple of right-wing sites I um, keep tabs on are frothing at the mouth and screaming for Eric Holder's head. I don't get it, I thought selling freedom (AK-variant rifles) was a good thing?

Slightly off topic, but I drove between Florida and Maryland the other week. In order to stay awake, I listened to talk radio. There's a whole stretch on I-95 in North Carolina where the only talk radio is either Rush Limbaugh radio or Christian radio. I flipped through 5 different talk shows for hours, and discovered something. Every single talk show, at least one point in time while I was listening, told listeners what to think. Many of them came with threats, such as "If you think abortion at any point in a pregnancy is okay, even early in the first trimester, you are not a Christian." Or "Anyone who supports Obama-care is an idiot." Additionally, many of these shows were interspersed with jarring, arythmic music with repeated whispers of "Glenn Beck," "Patriotism," "America." After this trip, I'm surprised that there aren't more Tea Party members than there already are.

Funny, that's exactly my contention with the bbqkink/MSNBC posts

I'm no fan of partisan talk shows on either side. I've also seen and watched shows from both sides. There's a huge difference between "This guy is an idiot" and "You're an idiot."

Of course, I just read about a guy named Sheldon Adelson who owns casinos and told Forbes he was willing to donate $100 million to get Newt Gingrich elected. He's worth 20-odd billion, so FSM only knows how much he'll wind up giving the Rombot. I guess there's some small comfort in knowing a person can simultaneously be a billionaire and too stupid to empty piss from a boot if instructions are printed on the heel.
