Turkish blog from USA includes an insertion on the ban imposed recently according to
Associated Press all the way from Istanbul Turkey on You Tube Video Clips .. the reason
given is that the clips or videos are seen as insulting /Turkishness/and are taken as an
offence to the National Leader now dead ... Ataturk ... who was a "War Hero" and
raised Turkey from the ruins of the Ottoman Empire to its present day success!
Its interesting that the Turkish World should ban yet again the You Tube Video Clips as its something I have been fortunate to "catch" and to "view" out here in the UK where I see the culture link
as a dynamic that should be emphasised rather than banned .. where the You Tube Video Clips are worthwhile especially is they shed light on Charity Work such as International Childrens Charity again headed by the great Turkish Performer ... Tarkan of Turkish Pop .. to me its all in a good cause and the song ... Verme blogged out here via You Tube Video Clip is a worthwhile endeavour and great charity work begins in Istanbul in Turkey as well as here. Sorry Ataturk has taken offence but I wonder which You Tube Video Clip they are talking about in Turkey anyway.
There was once a politician who continued to say .. that he didnt like "back turning" and I must admit as a examiner and lecturer I found his use of English "offensive" to say the least but then I had to put up or shut up! So I was told years ago and - take retirement. Back turning is part of dramatic movement and so is International Theatre and Dancing! Great performers create great videos on You Tube all the way from Istanbul in Turkey .. perhaps the Turks will lift the ban! I hope so! Keep on blogging .. thanks AP for the news!
