The medieval-fantasy television drama Game Of Thrones has long drawn flak for its violence, nudity, language and the countless taboo themes they explore, but now the show is really under fire - for cutting off the head of a US president and mounting it on a pike.
Without giving away too much, the finale of season one features a scene where one of the major characters meets a grisly end, with their head lopped off and offered up for all to see.
And when it is seen, there alongside is the head of former president George Bush, dripping blood as it sits atop a spear, pictured.

It's not a political statement!!

I wish they would leave real politics out of shows/movies, nobody cares to see what the films creators political ideas are.

lol edited after reading the show's creators actually said they used bush's head -

probably wasn't a political statement but still perhaps unwise?
