analogy and/or association

Post by _ludwigm »

A German restaurant has temporarily shut its doors over fears for its staff safety after receiving a barrage of threats over its “Erdogan burger”.

The owner of Urban Burgery in Cologne named a new creation after the Turkish President last month.

It advertised the item as “tasty and juicy…naturally, with goat’s cheese”, in an allusion over a satirical poem by German comedian Jan Böhmermann.

A German comedian could face prosecution in his own country for "insulting" Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Jan Böhmermann, a satirical comedian, is being investigated by German authorities under defamation laws for a poem in which he calls the Turkish premier a "goat f*****" and other insults.

He could face up to five years in prison if Turkey's foreign ministers, who were reportedly angered by the programme, decide to press charges and he is convicted, according to Der Tagesspiegel.

"Erdogan is definitely a president with a small tail," says the comedian, in a line where "tail" is understood in German to refer to another part of the male anatomy.
