Female Friends stars Rachel, Phoebe and Monica have bare ARMS blurred by Turkish newspaper slamming ‘depraved’ show

A NEWSPAPER in Turkey closely linked to President Erdogan has blurred out the bare arms of Jennifer Aniston and the other women from Friends in an article.

The publication said it threatened to infect Turks with homosexuality, incest and child abuse when it launches in the country on Netflix.

The Turkish branch of Netflix announced that it would be adding the world-famous US TV show Friends to its streaming catalogue from April 1.

The sit-com which became a global success, tells the story of six young adults living in New York and revolves heavily around romance and drama.

But the news outlet called Yeniakit has come out in protest against the airing the Turkish version.

In an article called"Netflix hopes to target our young people with the depraved TV show Friends", the news outlet used a picture from the popular show.

But it then blurred out the bare arms of the three women seen in the poster.

The article claims that the show will inject the young men and women of Turkey with ideas of "homosexuality, incest, infidelity, sexual scenes, drugs and child abuse".

The article goes on to claim that Netflix is part of a coordinated attempt to degenerate Muslim society by legitimizing “immoral behaviour”.

Hundreds of social media responded, with one saying: "Don't watch it if you don't like it".

Another said: "Friend's has nothing to do with immorality."

But some came out in support of the newspaper’s stance on the “deviant series”.

The article demands that RTUK (Radio and Television Supreme Council) the Turkish stat agency which monitors and regulates the media, step in and stop Netflix from airing the series in Turkey.

Netflix and RTUK are yet to respond to the article and Friends is on course to air on April 1.
