Turkey Has Reportedly Banned Google
oxide7 and a number of other readers sent word (from mostly non-authoritative sources as yet) that Turkey had imposed an indefinite ban on some Google properties. "Turkey's Telecommunications Presidency said it has banned access to many of Google IP addresses without assigning clear reasons. The statement did not confirm if the ban is temporary or permanent. Google's translation and document sharing sites have also been banned indefinitely along with YouTube and Facebook in the country. Other services such as AppEngine, FeedBurner, Analytics, etc., have also been reportedly banned." Some real-time commentary (much of it in Turkish) can be found at Twitter hashtag #TurkeyCensoringGoogle. We have noted in past years the censorious ways of Turkish courts.
That would have been a lot more impressive if it was a real quote, and not just a quote from a video game.
Serious? Seriousness is well above my pay grade.
Google retaliates by banning turkeys.
What a bunch of Turkeys!

Insightful comments. Time to stamp out the Jew World Order.
"Turkeys reportedly banned Gobble"?
Probably not, but "DNS" has been a rising keyword in Turkey over the last 6 days.
What's Turkish for "proxy"?
The clock is ticking to December 21, 2012. Tighten your tinfoil hats and stock up on your rations. :)

Turkey: "You're baaaaaaaaaanned!"
Google: "Booh, that's fowl play!"
Can only mean one thing, Invasion!

You lack the imagination to apply structure to our world? That entire page is taken from a carefully constructed and coherent extrapolation of human activity and knowledge.
When you quote a character from a video game as if they were a real person, you make yourself look like a total toolbag who needs the fiber to his mom's basement cut to protect the world from having to roll their eyes every time he shares something. There's no other way. I love that game, not a week goes by I don't play it, but I still think that's just amazingly socially retarded. Further, there must be some great quote just like it upon which it is based, and a little looking around could probably turn up something actually worth quoting. And still further, attributing that text to someone who does not exist is incorrect at best. In order to properly attribute it you need to know which of the game's designers wrote that text. Then attribute the quote to them, and see if anyone cares.
