A German court has banned comedian Jan Böhmermann’s “Defamation Poem,” which makes fun of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, for violating a law against insulting foreign leaders.
Böhmermann read out the satirical poem March 31 on his television show “Neo Magazin Royale.” Erdogan requested that charges should be brought against Böhmermann and Chancellor Angela Merkel approved the request April 15.

A Hamburg court ruled Wednesday that a majority of the poem were “slanderous and defamatory” against Erdogan, and that it cannot be recited.
Here is a translation of the “Defamation Poem:”
Incredibly dumb, cowardly and uptight,
Is the president Erdogan,
His breath smells like döner,
Even pig farts smells better,
He’s the man who punishes girls,
While wearing a rubber mask,
His favorite is to fuck goats,
And having minorities repressed,Kick Kurds,
Beat Christians,
While watching kiddie porn,
In the evening instead of sleep,
He thinks of fellatio with a hundred sheep,Yes, Erdogan is the president with a tiny dick,
Every Turk will tell you all,
The stupid fool has wrinkly balls,
From Ankara to Istanbul,
They all know the man is queer,
Perverted, verminous,
Recep Fritzl PriklopilHis head is as empty as his balls,
He is the star of every gang-bang party,
until it burns to take a piss,
That’s Recep Erdogan,
The Turkish president.
The poem was a response to Erdogan’s demands to censor a music video that aired on another German satire show. Böhmermann was transparent in that he was out to push the limits of Germany’s freedom of speech laws and acknowledged that the verses were offensive before he read it out.
