They claim they just used what they had lying around.... accident, or political statement? Would they be so quick to dismiss it if they had used an Obama head?

From the picture in your article, which "head" are they are talking about? How did anyone notice, seriously?

Two questions for you dreamer: 1. You read the L.A. Times? 2. You watch HBO?

To answer your question about it being the head of our current President. I personally don't think anyone who matters would care, sure you might have some obscure group complaining about it but I don't think its a big deal. Especially if this were to happen 3-4 years after he has left office, such as Bush. If this would've happened during Bush's Presidency I would say it was in bad taste and might have been some kind of statement, but now? C'mon.

The head on the left, in profile... and yes, lots noticed and complaints poured in.


Nope , dont watch either lol.. but if I'd posted from say, Fox, that would open up a whole nuther can o' worms. That pic is vague, yes, but the show creators confirmed they did use it.

I happen to feel it would not be an accident... just another jab.

I would give them a pass as that show is shot in Hollywood. Do you really think they know or could remember who or what George Bush looks like?

The big issue came from the fact that people with the show called attention to it rather than just leaving it alone. They apparently thought it was something to brag about which brought all the complaints and negative attention.

I personally wish Hollywood, stars and musicians would put out of politics. Does anyone really think the lead singer of some bad is a good source for political advice?

I thought all politicians seek the advice of Twisted Sister's Dee Snyder?;)

I don't see the George Bush likeness in the far head. The middle head sure looks like Jack Haley as the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz.

Jack Haley? It looks like the Mother Superior in 'Sister Act' to me.....

Hey what do I know? The Wizard of Oz and Sister Act are movies and movies aren't real. The "head" is from a television show and television isn't real and we are discussing this on the Internet and I'm pretty sure the Internet isn't real.
