Nice username
I can't believe you can just see "TURKEY" in big letters from space just like that. Must have spent a ton of advertising money.
They haven't even updated it to their preferred spelling of Türkiye!

Turk here. That is not my preferred spelling, since , you know, exonyms are exonyms, and we sure as fuck did not take any action about Corn or Our "TurkeyLand" (Mısır, Hindistan [Egypt, India])
Also, it would be fucking hilarious if India ever changes their name to "Bharat" (or variant) since "Baharat" is "spice" in turkish.
I always thought the reason for wanting the change was silly, since the bird was named after the country.
The thin skinned shithead tinpot dictator probably heard a dumbass joke and took it waaay too seriously.
you might not be aware of the various things turks have written on our own mountains/large hills, especially near military bases.
Huh..hmm now wondering from where on the alien's body it was transplanted

Not sure if we would like this to be the joke about aliens visiting turkey. I feel like we'd enjoy a tourist joke or astonishment at the "turkish way" if doing things.
This comic is objectively about doing things the Turkish way
not really. Us turks are less about traveling somewhere to get a deal on surgery than getting a bud to staple a wig on our head.
EDIT : Or desperately combing our interpersonal network to find someone that can get us a deal or some kind of preferential treatment (torpil, I see my fellow turks in here)
hahahaha well I can't argue with you past that point
What's the deal with the notoriety of Turkish hair plugs, then?
it's cheap for europeans to go to turkey to get this largely reliable and safe procedure done. Us being turks, have set up travel businesses to take advantage of this. Also, many europeans have large communities of turkish expats understand the local business systems, and have connections in turkey to set this up, so they have done so.
Fun things for people that don't know : Turks are fucking everywhere. And Turks love setting up businesses and selling shit. And we have a lucrative modern history of tourism for europeans. Also, the turkish economy is in shambles.
all of these combined lead to a lot of europeans traveling to turkey and getting hair plugs.
NB : I do not endorse traveling for medical treatment. I think I would advise against it actually, since flying after medical procedures is a bad idea, and you want to be in your home country if things go wrong.
That being said, some actually necessary medical procedures might need to be done abroad in case that capability is not in your home country.
underlying joke: aliens are European
