from the stupid file: Person compares President of Turkey with Gollom, is prosecuted for it

[browsing deer]

On one hand comparing the president with Gollom is trashy, on the other hand, a president who can't take anything as mild is in the wrong business.

The think is, in Turkey 2000 people have been arrested for criticising the president in this manner. I pity Turkey

"
A case involving a man accused of insulting Turkey's President Erdogan has led a judge to order a character assessment of Gollum from Lord of the Rings.

Bilgin Ciftci, a physician, was reportedly expelled from the Public Health Institution of Turkey in October after allegedly sharing a meme in which President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s facial expressions were compared to those made by the fictional character.

Failing to come to a decision in court, the judge ordered an investigation to decide whether or not an insult had been made against the president, the Today’s Zaman newspaper reported.

It came after the judge reportedly admitted to only having seen parts of the Lord of the Rings films in which Gollum features.

It is believed that two academics, two behavioural scientists and an expert on cinema and television productions will be involved in examining the character, who first featured in JRR Tolkien’s book, The Hobbit, in 1937.
