As I said on another topic regarding this latest presidential decree, I not sure it's a bad thing...  but that's just me  :)

It's interesting that the number of complaints received by RTUK about these shows jumped from a thousand or so to ninety odd thousand within the space of a year.

Now Star TV and NTV have been fined for broadcasting a Victoria's Secret fashion show - apparently seeing women in underwear is "is damaging children’s physical, psychological, and moral development".

I don't know what's worse, the image itself or the knowledge that it actually is you.

The word is that those Ann Summers parties in Kaya during the Winter were right lively affairs...

Been told that this is the offending article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State-sponsored_terrorism#Turkey

Ban ratified in court today and looks like my mate was bang on:

An Ankara court ordered to ban Wikipedia in Turkey after the site’s administration refused to remove two English language pages which claimed that Turkey channeled support to jihadists in Syria, daily Habertürk reported on May 1.

The court’s justified decision to ban Wikipedia, the world’s largest online encyclopedia, was published on April 30. Wikipedia will become accessible only if the administration agrees to remove the content, according to the decision.   Full article
