Turkey detains stand-up comedian for allegedly insulting religious values

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkish authorities on Thursday detained a comedian whose stand-up routine drew complaints that it insulted religious values after it was widely viewed online.

Deniz Goktas was detained for questioning at Istanbul’s main airport on his return from a trip abroad, the state-run Anadolu agency reported, days after prosecutors launched an investigation into possible charges of “publicly insulting religious values.”

As much as I love Stanhope, I'm not doing this.

Ron Bennington is a national treasure

Everyone's always like, "What's he doing? I thought he'd blow up by now." So go blow him.

my nephew is named Bradley Bell and is a huge fan. sadly, he’s incarcerated and very lonely and specifically asked if any of you would connect with him. his inmate number is 2153577 and id in Dillwyn correctional facility in Virginia. he’s available on the getting out app. he’s a cool guy and could sure use the conversations. thanks in advance.

He's doing an extended set before going on the road.

Hey Doug! I think I found you a new friend to hang with. Call up Depp if you need to pull some strings for a day of bing drinking.

So Kristine Levine has been talking about this for a while and I finally fact-checked it...

My grandmother was born in Quebec which automatically qualifies me for Canadian citizenship.

What to do with this knowledge, I'm not quite sure but goddamit if I don't want a second passport.

Bingo immediately wanted to get married and move there for better mental health care. How she assumes it's better, I don't know but I understand the knee-jerk assumption.

If anyone has duel citizenships and actually spends time in both, indulge my day-dreams of what a part-time Canadian life would be like.

Just wanna say thanks Doug for a great show on Monday! It made the week better so far. Hope the liver gives proper thanks. It has no idea the sacrifice you're making!!

You haven't been here in YEARS! We miss you!

"A Tucson hospital employee was arrested on suspicion of sex crimes involving a patient, authorities say.

Jose Jacob Chavez, 41, at the time a behavioral specialist who worked overnight shifts  at University Medical Center South, was accused by a patient of sex assault on May 30, an interim complaint filed in Pima County Superior Court said."

Please tell me this was NOT the place Bingo went too several years back and had her own issue with?? I feel like that place was not Banner... but can't recall. The world is a sad twisted fuct up place.
