Decisions? it seemed like an odd thing. >> youre not the only one to observe that it was sort of an odd way to announce the reposition of banking sanctions, but, you know, i actually really liked the hbo response. this was clearly a rip-off of the "game of thrones" type face, and message and everything. winter is coming. and hbo tweeted how do you say trademark misuse? >> his voters eat this up. part wwe sometimes. how would you explain it to the layman. >> i would say for years i heard pun tigh...
