Hacking the Turkish WordPress Ban
Those of you sitting in Turkey can??t read this anyway, but here is a way to get around the WordPress ban.
Monkey Sexually Harass Kenyan Women

Hacking The Turkish WordPress Ban
Those of you sitting in Turkey can’t read this anyway, but here is a way to get around the WordPress ban.

Turkey Bans WordPress
The popular blogging platform, WordPress (which all of my blogs are based on) has been banned in Turkey. An estimated 1 million blogs have been shut down on a court order last week.
On August 17th, 2007, the Turkish Fatih Second Civil Court of First Instance blocked access to all wordpress.com blogs in response to a suit filed by Adnan Oktar??s lawyers on the grounds that blogs hosted on the platform published allegedly defamatory and ??unlawful?? statements about their client.
Blocking/censoring WordPress because of content on a blog is like outlawing Honda after someone is arrested for drink driving. Almost as ridiculous as when the Turkish government banned YouTube in response to a video they didn’t like.
