That cat has now become the most important actor in the debate on the election results. Social media cat photos shared, 'mullet' witty dialogue, such as what kind of cat like it was made. Even the AKP government's accusations framework for the final month of Fethullah Gulen in, "That cat lying parallel structure element?" There were also interesting jokes like.

That makes sense, footballers were never too smart so they are perfect to rule over less brained people.

And is easy for them to get in Hollywood.

Well, it´s a game that calls for lots of forward thinking so I don´t know if they´re all that dumb. But if they´re much into heading the ball for years I doubt that it´s good for the good old brain. Those can be pretty heavy impacts.

I do not understand how it can be considered as an insult. Gollum looks a lot better than Erdogan, but I understand him I do not like it too when people say I look as Brad Pitt.

Gollum seems to be portrayed as batshit crazy which probably was what got the good doctor in trouble. Like they say; the flak only gets heavy when you're over the target.

Erdogan is becoming more and more autocratic. The police action against the staff of the Cumhuriyet newspaper is a perfect example of his growing intolerance against any form of criticism. What I don't understand is why the people support him (especially in the central Anatolia region), despite all his excesses and incompetency.

The best way to get narcissists and similar mental cases to blow the top is to make fun of them, caricature them. This they totally hate. Another example is Hillary Clinton, she´s all up in arms against comedians in the Laugh Factory. These types lack self-depreciating humor. It just has no place in their self-centered mentality.

I hope that these caricatures really irritate Erdogan. Right now he feels that no one can touch him, as Turkey is a member of the NATO. His arrogance has crossed all limits. Let me see what he is going to do about these images.

Peter Jackson, director of LOTR, says that the images depict Sméagol and not Gollum. Which of course puts Erdogan in a much better light since Sméagol is portrayed as Gollum´s better half so to speak. But they look pretty much the same and the message is about the evil half so maybe it´s a moot point.

But Gollum truly does have some likeable characteristics.  Actually a rather intriguing take on the character from the book.

Does Erdogan have Gollum-like likeable characteristics?

Is this a compliment?

Because;
1-They don't see any other option.
2-They put him as Hz. Muhammed status.

They believe he's the best leader of Turkey, even better than the founder of the republic, Atatürk.
They have sick minds, they also like masochism.

[galdur]

I´m not sure that it matters so much even if you find some positive characteristics about Gollum. It´s impossible to get rid of the other part of the insult namely that Gollum is ugly on the level of

Can I borrow your face for a few days? My ass is going on holiday or even

You're so ugly Hello Kitty said goodbye to you

and there is certainly some resemblance.

[galdur]

I wonder what they´d do to me there in Turkey if I told them that Mr. Erdogan needed to have skin from his ass grafted to the back of his head and learn to walk backwards.
