HBO apologizes for depicting George W. Bush’s head impaled on a pike

This really shouldn't have happened…

“We use a lot of prosthetic body parts on the show: heads, arms, etc.,” they said in prepared text. “We can’t afford to have these all made from scratch, especially in scenes where we need a lot of them, so we rent them in bulk. After the scene was already shot, someone pointed out that one of the heads looked like George W. Bush. In the DVD commentary, we mentioned this, though we should not have. We meant no disrespect to the former president and apologize if anything we said or did suggested otherwise.”
