Apparently, Game of Thrones is getting banned in the Turkish military, because it would somehow make those young lads love their country less (or something). I really do not get it sometimes...

Why Turkey’s military wants to ban ‘Game of Thrones’

"The Turkish Armed Forces has updated its set of regulations for the high school academies that it administers, inserting an article in the chapter for "protection of students." It advises a ban on screening films or shows that depict "sexual exploitation, pornography, exhibitionism, abuse, harassment and all negative behaviors." Hurriyet cites "Game of Thrones" as one of the main culprits."

Obviously, though, Tyrion Lannister remains unimpressed with Erdogan's shenanigans.
