What YouTube sees in Turkey...
Michelle Malkin shows us the true meaning of satire. YouTube has been banned in Turkey. Read her post. Michelle, this one's for you. This is what YouTube sees when they try to watch their videos while in Turkey.
12 Responses To "What YouTube sees in Turkey..."
Wow. Malkin almost would have been funny if only she had been accurate. Instead she is just showing how ignorant she is. The YouTube ban was about insulting the Turkish Republic founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and Turkishness not Islam as Malkin so dumbly writes. It is actually a crime to insult Turkishness in Turkey which is incredibly ridiculous but it isn't a ridiculous Islam thing just a ridiculous Turkey thing. Speaking of turkeys... #2 - Posted by: AlanABQ on March 7, 2007 10:20 PMAre you SURE you read the piece? Here are the first few lines. ** Well, this is an interesting twist. YouTube, known in these parts for banning those who insult Islam, is now being banned for carrying videos that INSULT TURKEY: A court in Turkey on Wednesday ordered blockage of all access to YouTube, the popular video-sharing Web site, over a video DEEMED INSULTING TO MUSTAFA KEMAL ATATURK, the founder of modern Turkey. * Yes, it's about the insulting of Ataturk (brother of the overachieving Attaboy). The first few lines of the post talk about the bannig BY YouTube of all INSULTS TO ISLAM. YouTube removes any videos that are negative toward Islam in any way. it's funny to see YouTube banned. (No, not for insulting Islam. That is very clear from her post.) #3 - Posted by: RightWingDuck on March 7, 2007 10:25 PMWell, they're right, though: How can anyone of good conscience insult TURKEY?! Even if you don't finish it the first night, you can refrigerate it and make delicious sandwiches for a week. My wife also uses the carcass to make a yummy soup. Turkey salad at the tail-end, too. I can't imagine what kind of ingrate would not appreciate this. #4 - Posted by: Ron Coleman on March 7, 2007 10:37 PMAre you SURE you read the piece? I read it but it has changed since I wrote my comment. Malkin corrected her wording from banned for insulting Islam to include banned for insulting Turkey. Originally she didn't have the banned for insulting Turkey bit in her comments at all. She must have read my words and fixed it :-D Even so Michelle Misleading Malkin has still intentionally left the Islam ban comments in to make it an issue even though it isn't relevant to the YouTube ban story. If you really want to see bans for insulting Islam try Saudia Arabia, the home of some of George W. Bush's best pals, or Egypt. Egypt's "legal courts" love to go after bloggers that insult Islam. Turkey is crazy about the national insults. They almost tossed Turkish nobel prize winner Orhan Pamuk in jail for disrespecting Turkishness last year. #5 - Posted by: Sarcasm Man on March 7, 2007 11:24 PMYou have to be very careful around Turkeys. As not to offend. A very special punishment awaits those that offend the Turkeys. Posted by: Neo-andertal on March 8, 2007 12:08 AM lol! Cool! I had to go check (I am typing this from Ankara)...yep, it is blocked. Go Turkey! Way to make yourself look like a top EU contender... Bu siteye erişim mahkeme kararıyla engellenmiştir !... www.youtube.com sitesine erişim İstanbul 1. Sulh Ceza Mahkemesi'nin 2007/384 sayı ve 06.03.2007 tarihli kararı gereği engellenmiştir. Access to www.youtube.com site has been suspended in accordance with decision no: 2007/384 dated 06.03.2007 of Istanbul First Criminal Peace Court. "Istanbul First Criminal Peace Court" Peace Court? LOL. That's even funnier than banning videos! #11 - Posted by: pete in Midland on March 8, 2007 01:51 PMTurkey... oy, the whole white meat / dark meat thing... don't get me started. #12 - Posted by: Ron Coleman on March 8, 2007 02:46 PMPost a comment
