Politurca

Recently I have started following the Turkish media by watching news videos and reading reports online.

On many occasions, I was disgusted to see some celebrities sprinkle English words into their speech. These pathetic people (undeserving of their priviledged position in society) must be oblivious to the fact that the majority in Turkey does not speak English and would not have a clue of what they are talking about. The last straw came with Bulent Ersoy, who used the word “excuse” instead of its Turkish equivalent “af” while describing the whole mess about her husband’s betrayal–like anyone cares about her marriage and her husband’s affair…

Although already known to all that she speaks with no right mind, she does not realize that she is doing this at the expense of alienating the very people who have made her famous. More troubling is the public’s acquiescence to her and others who have made it a habit to denigrate the Turkish language by speaking foreign words to unsuspecting viewers.

Watch a nice spoof.
