Talkin' Turkey

It's always fun to consider who exactly are the biggest fans of Broken Toyz. Looking over the stats with regards to the traffic to this site, many of the numbers seem perfectly straightforward. The two biggest markets for the site are in North America . Since the Toyz have toured extensively through the great nations of Canada and the U.S., that only makes sense. It's when we dig a bit deeper, to the number three country in terms of total numbers of visitors, that we find things taking an unexpected turn. Yes, the country whose residents visit this site more third most of is...Turkey? Yes...Turkey!

I thought about it for a while and decided that this may not be as strange as it first appears. In fact, I think the love affair is a two-way street in this case. You may ask yourself, how can this be a mutual love-fest? The Toyz have never played in Turkey, so how can the band have feelings for this mostly-Muslim, Middle Eastern nation? Well, let me tell you. First off, who doesn't like turkey? We have it every year for Thanksgiving dinner. It's full of flavour and it sends you for a peaceful nap soon after you eat it. Secondly, Johnny Emaxx (until recently, say the last 45 days or so) has almost single-handedly kept the Turkish economy afloat by smoking 5 packs of cigarettes, made with a turkish blend of tobacco, every day since he was 4 years old. And, let's not forget Tommy Gunns propensity to spend days on end entertaining his suitors in his own private turkish bath.

That's right, directly or (more likely) indirectly, the Toyz have had connections with Turkey for their entire adult lives. No wonder the Turkish people have decided to shower the band with their love and affection. Long live the Toyz/Turkey alliance.

Elveda...
