Welcome, haters.
All bow down and share a Roast to the king of petulance, smarm and everything foul, Joffrey Baratheon. HBO have cordially invited you – the internet – to do your worst and join in the official roasting of Westeros’ illegitimate love child and most hateful creation to spring from the mind of George R.R Martin. HBO’s surprise event (launched on Thursday and continuing through to Friday – officially ending Saturday afternoon in Australia) is a much welcomed festival, to be sure; it is odd, however, that official ‘roasting’ days would be needed for such an occasion, considering that passionately humiliating Your Grace is one of our favourite – and daily – pastimes. Nevertheless, let the games begin.
Some highlights from the #RoastJoffrey tag:

Joffrey is actually a virgin who can’t drive. Does it get any more clueless than that? #RoastJoffrey @GameOfThrones

If Joffrey Baratheon got 1,000 times more attractive, he would have half the appeal of The Hound #RoastJoffrey @GameOfThrones

If you multiplied Joffery Baratheon’s intelligence by 100 it wouldn’t equal one Hodor #roastjoffrey

How do you circumcise a Lannister? Kick his sister in the chin. #RoastJoffrey @GameOfThrones
