political pictures - Masking Their Political Leanings

HBO was scrambling to apologize after Game of Thrones producers admitted to using a George W. Bush mask as a prop head on a stake. The producers maintain that they used masks that were convenient, and their choice was not meant to reflect personal political beliefs.

Convenience is a good excuse -- but is it plausible? ;)

There is something truly serendipitous to the use of this mask. LOL.

It is the only use for a Bush mask - other than scaring small children lol

True. But you don't want to traumatise the under-fives either (if such a thing is possible.)

I wonder who noticed? I have to admit that it who it was a likeness of would not have occurred to me at all!

I doubt if I would have noticed at first either. I suppose they will blame some poor apprentice who was just hired.

I'm... not really believing it. Someone surely would've said "Dude, don't use George Bush, what if someone recognises him?" - if it had only been a matter of convenience, that should've disqualified that one.

I am rather fascinated by the fact that they have a masks of George W. Bush in the first place.

Convenient coincidence, my ass. XD

It does strain credulity doesn't it? [vbeg] Though I suppose if someone was in a hurry and just stared grabbing masks??

I think almost all politicians and public figures have masks made now. Which just proves people really buy anything... =/

they never should have apologized they should have left it as a mystery.
