Game Of Thrones: Joffrey's 10 Most Slappable Acts Of Dickery
2. Making Ros Murder Daisy 'Garden Of Bones'
We would've been more shocked by Ros's death if this hadn't happened first. Well, it was still shocking, brutally displaying that even though Margaery Tyrell's had semi-domesticated her fiancee, he's still a slap-goading, psychotic turdbasket, but this took the biscuit. When you look back at this scene, you'll know the brothel madam's grisly fate was merely dramatic foreshadowing. What's worse is that for the opening few minutes, you might've thought the King was enjoying his uncle's 'present.' Hell, the Hound was even smiling, and that's an upsetting event in itself. Ros was in the process of disrobing her King, and he had a queer little smile on his face. Most men would, if they'd randomly found attractive, willing women in their bedroom. Yet if this article has put anything across, it's that Joffrey isn't most men. He's a dick. You might've guessed something was up when he asked Ros to hit poor Daisy, who we'd only seen in season two opener 'The North Remembers,' all wide-eyed and thrilled that she'd joined a better class of brothel. Yet some men go in for kink, and Joffrey's sadistic tendencies would suggest he fits the profile. But something's wrong here, and it only truly dawns when he passes Ros Robert's warhammer, telling her she'd better bring it down on her poor partner, or she'll be crossbowed. So she does. And damn, it's traumatic. As Robb said, 'maybe he's just a c**t.' Never have truer words been uttered.
