[travel] I love the government of Turkey!

Mar 22, 2009 22:05

Turkey's illustrious government always has my best interests at heart. They even keep up to date with the latest technologies, ensuring I'm always getting an optimal experience on the internet. For example, some awful, awful people posted a video critical of Turkey's government to YouTube a couple of years back. (You may or may not know that criticism of Turkey or its government is illegal in Turkey... a clearly enlightened law that helps its citizens maintain a positive attitude.) Instead of pleading with Google to take down that one video, the government responded with swift efficiency by blocking all YouTube videos in case anyone else puts up other offending videos. They have kept it this way for the last two years, helping us maintain a positive attitude that surely enhances our happiness and productivity. Plus, it ensures that I don't waste time showing people videos of kittens climbing my body, people talking in a giant helium-filled bag, fractals generated using only a camera and projectors, or infrared footage of people showering. What a great place to live!
