Turkish soapsLast night in the latest episode of Perla Mehmet was stabbed by two unknown men and left for dead in the street. "No! Mehmet don't die!" cried his family and half the housewives in Turkey and Bulgaria. The other half was switched on to The Proud Asi.
Story telling evenings in the mountains huddled around the chimney is a myth. From the elderly half-blind grannies to the merry housewife and the young girls all are hooked on Turkish soaps. Gossip is all about what will happen next.... There are fan clubs online. Husbands and wives quarrel to watch their favourite programs.
The Bulgarian alternative is Tsenata na istinata, the price of the truth. One person makes a statement and a selected group has to say whether his assertions are true or false to win money. Here are some statements:
"My mother is bisexual because she wears trousers."

Luckily, by the end of the episode Mehmet's condition stabilizes. He's in a coma.
