'Game of Thrones' put George W. Bush's head on a stake By Tim Molloy , TheWrap.com According to the "Game of Thrones" creators, Bush's head appears in several beheading scenes in season one. 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. Someone using the name SidIncoginto on Reddit pointed out Bush's inclusion, and io9, which picked up on the oddity, has video.

"George Bush's head appears in a couple beheading scenes," adds co-creator D.B. Weiss. "It's not a choice, it's not a political statement," explains Benioff. It's just, we had to use what heads we had around. In an interview with TheWrap earlier this year, Weiss and Benioff said they tried not to deliberately inject politics into their show, based on the novels of George R.R. Martin. "We're definitely not tempted to do anything consciously," Weiss said. Of course we're voracious news readers and we live in the world and are very influenced by the world that we live in, so I think enough finds it's way in that way - probably more than enough finds it's way in that way. To try to do it on purpose seems like it would be a mistake.

It feels like a falsehood. I know that sounds kind of funny when you're talking about the world of fiction. But it doesn't feel like it's coming from the world itself, but like it's trying to be commentary. Like the writer's trying to be clever and teach a lesson. Weiss concluded, "It means the story isn't about what the story's really about anymore. Which means what it's really about starts to get flat and two-dimensional. I love it when 'South Park' does it though. Did you notice Bush's head when the episode originally aired on HBO?
