It's a little sinister to let the former DDCI cameo in a television show, is it not? Definitely left a bad taste in my mouth. I can imagine Americans might appreciate HBO pandering to them, but Game of Thrones is a pretty global show.

I don't think HBO was pandering to anyone, he is a fan of the show and a pretty famous guy in many circles, GoT have had Cameos from all walks of life in virtually every episode since the first seasons.

When they put GW Bush's head on a pike by "mistake" did it also leave a bad taste in your mouth?

Practically everything coming out of America has American tints to it, maybe you don't even realise because of how prevalent they are.

Is it HN worthy?

it _might_ have been hn worthy if there was an actual security leak, but even that was a joke.

so, imo, no - it doesn't belong here.
