3. Game Of Thrones Has "Gestapo" Security

There are certain things you should never bring up if you're in any way in the public eye. You should avoid being a racist (to be honest, just avoid doing that even if you're a nobody, because it's sh*tty), you shouldn't repeat any offensive jokes that you might have seen on James Gunn's Twitter feed and you definitely shouldn't refer to your own people as in any way Nazi-like.

Unfortunately, it seems that Game Of Thrones director David Nutter didn't get that memo, because he's just likened the security around the final season's production to something akin to an instrument of Hitler's Germany. He was talking in an interview about the measures HBO have gone to to stop leaks getting out:

"...Sometimes there were paparazzi in amazing places — on construction cranes and all kinds of crazy places, to try to get a point of view of things. They were all over, everywhere, trying to get in on what was happening... [We]wanted to make sure nobody knew what was happening, and they went to the nth degree. They basically take it to the point where it’s like the Gestapo."

Come on now, David. Let's not bring up the Gestapo. Even flippantly, that's the kind of thing that people on the Internet will notice and bring up in articles like this one.
