    Hey Joe!! Good to hear from you again. Yeah I heard about blogspot being banned from our friend in Istanbul (he is lucky in that his newspaper office could avoid the ban!). Yeah, I like the top cover the best too!

    it had something to do with illegal broadcast links to turkish soccer matches from what i read on another site.

    But it seems extreme to ban all of Blogspot for that reason alone. I'm sure the illegal link people could just switch to another blog/site provider.

    it said by court order this site has been disabled until further notice or something along those lines but if you clicked on cached it would come up with missing images but without any interaction such as leaving comments.

    It just doesn't make sense to me. All those blogs from Blotspot, made by people like me, who also got banned but who had nothing to do with it. It's like banning all buses because one driver was a murderer. Haha.

    Blogspot banned in Turkey because of some blogs illegally broadcasting Turkey Super League's matches which is owned by Digiturk. Digiturk applied law to ban that blogs but unfortunately there is no strict internet rules in our law system so they just cut off the blogspot in Turkey(I changed my DNS but this is temporary I think). Before law, Digiturk wanted to contact Google but it seems they didn't do anything..
    I don't want anyone to touch my blog. I don't want them to touch my life.

    no worries then, i,ve purchased two copies anyway.no luck with seytan. also do you need the original vcd for aska susayanlar - thırsty for love sex and murder ? however with this one it,s an ex-rental vcd with slight scratches which won,t affect the play of the film.it,s only about 2.50 australian.

    Yes yes, that would be cool too!! Thanks! I have a good dvd player that usually can play anything regardless of scratches so that's all right. And $2 dollars 50 is nothing.

    I'll have to check to see what I've got but I think those Maskeli Saytan films are the same as the ones I've got from Ciko.

    yep they,re the same phantom flicks that ciko is flogging. The only other two items that you might be interested in, that are also very cheap are two Cuneyt arkin flicks. Osmanli kartali - ottoman eagle dvd (new) for about a 1.95 Aussıe DOllars and Koroglu(new) (blindmans son) VCD for about 3.50 AUD.İ,ve bought these anyway for possible future trades.

    the swamp rats version and the version by the japanese garage saki band the golden cups are the best of the bunch in my opinion.
