The new Turkey

Turkey's Family Ministry shames singles in new 'Family Campaign' (AM).

"You are headless. You go about with your heads in a plastic bag. You deplete our electricity, fuel and goods, and produce bigger waste. You disturb the order. Get married!” This seemed to be the message Turkey’s Family and Social Policies Ministry issued to bachelors in a campaign poster last week.

Though the latest campaign has vanished from Twitter, singletons continue to make fun of it. Here are a few examples:

“At a time when speculation of Turkey-IS [links] has hit the fan, the Family Ministry’s ad for people living alone is a real beauty.”

“They have savagely encouraged consumption and shopping, building one mall after another, and now — ‘those living alone consume more.’”

“You are supposed to rein in the man who kills his wife before worrying about those who live alone.” (This tweet was posted to the ministry.)

“If those living alone consume more goods, electricity and fuel, then married couples are not supposed to have three children either — for lesser consumption!”

“The severed-heads poster is a reflection of [IS] culture. … Congratulations to you, Family Ministry, for this disgusting poster on people living alone!”

“Let’s see if I got it right. Those living alone are to be decapitated and have their heads put in a plastic bag because they waste a lot?” Hmmm.....Soon the Mother's Cross, to encourage women to have more children? Then off course they'll need more 'Lebensraum. Read the full story here.
