History Channel’s ‘Satan’ Looks Strangely Familiar

History channel has a sense of humor... I don't know what else to say about this one.


History Channel’s ‘Satan’ Looks Strangely Familiar

The sequel to last year's mini-scandal over Game of Thrones using a mock George W. Bush head on a pike came on Sunday night in the History Channel's documentary The Bible, where the character of Satan bears a striking resemblance to a certain sitting president.

Mediaite points out that unlike HBO, which immediately apologized and scrubbed the scene from Game of Thrones, the History Channel hasn't said anything. There's a good reason for that: While HBO used an actual dummy Bush head, rented along with a bulk load of special-effects prosthetics, the resemblance between Ouazanni and Obama is a coincidence. Even if the conspiracy theorists are right and filmmakers Mark Burnett and Roma Downey purposefully cast the actor because of his resemblance to the president, that resemblance is purely a coincidence. And unlike the severed head, which showed up briefly in one shot, Satan is a fairly integral character in the Bible, so if History was to agree to alter future episodes or the DVD, as HBO did, it would be a much bigger undertaking.

Druscilla is right this one has been posted an absurd amount of times. If ATS search is "down"...just use google search...put site:abovetopsecret.com *search terms* in the search box.

ex.)site:abovetopsecret.com history channel satan

The ATS search isn't down, it's just powered by Samuru now.

abovetopsecret.com.samuru.com...
