Remember Danger’s post about the official rules on spoilers, and how you should wait “two weeks for a regular episode, two months for a season finale, and one year for a series finale” before ruining a show for a friend? Looks like the list is going to need a revision: “Wait until it’s shown on a poster.”
The second season premiere of “Game of Thrones” is only 18 days away (!), and HBO has released yet another promotional item. Except this one’s, like, the Tyrion of promotional items — in that it’s the best, not that it’s the smallest. The poster shows poor Ned Stark’s head on a pike, with the words “The King Can Do As He Likes” above his honorable noggin. It’s awesome, it’s effective, it makes me hate Joffrey all over again, and now I’m wondering how much Sean Bean was paid for permission to use his decapitated coconut. Best. Paycheck. Ever.
See the full thing below.

This guy hates that poster.
That guy got sent a signed poster from the producers and Sean Bean for this video. He deserved it, this was the only thing that cheered me up after Ned lost his head. Fuckin Joffrey.
Season 2 is going to be better than Season 1, i’m positively jizzy about it. And Season 3+4 (assuming book 3) is going to cement the show as one of the best in TV history.
It is known.
“Game of Thrones: People Will Die and You Will Deal with It. Also, screw you, latecomers.”
Ned should probably get that eye looked at.
Here is another promo poster. Ned having his head cut off isn’t the only thing the North needs to remember.
Oh man, I can’t wait until Omar shows up.
Oops…
That’s not technically an HBO spoiler, it’s a fan-created poster released by HBO. Also, do you know how to escape the dungeon without using the wizard key?
I’m so gonna get fired for that blunder.
I watch almost everything on DVR in order to avoid commercials and yet I keep stopping to watch the ads for the release of Season 1 on DVD just to experience the clips. The Drogo knife drop is never not awesome.
Agreed
Put your hands together for Mister Randy Watson. Yeah,one more time. How about it?
Aw man if he had done the knife drop followed by the randy watson double hand point and walk of stage that woulda been the best
One part of me wants to take Ned out and talk to him and be real nice and sweet and treat him right. The other part of me no longer has any opinion on the matter.
/golfclap
This was a fan created poster HBO released!? I literally would have wasted several work days making one if I knew there was a contest or HBO was piggybacking off of people.
Same. I’m pretty hardcore at following GOT/ASOIAF news and I’m pissed I missed it.
If you think this is a spoiler for GOT then you probably think crucifixes are a spoiler for The Bible.
FUCK JOFFREY. i hate that kid.
Bruh. That poster >>>>>> *Slaps the shit out of K.R.I.T.’s mama*
I hope no one who hasn’t seen Game of Thrones season 1 sees this…I like to collect Game of Thrones posters, but this is no ‘Map of Westeros’. It’d be amusing at first, but then kind of grisly. I can’t imagine having it up with my Catholic mother visiting…..
There’s some other, more Catholic mom friendly Game of Thrones posters here:
