Time 100 Incident
Murat Arslan was also one of the controversial names in Internet history in Turkey. Back in 1998, the name made it to Time Magazine's Time 100 online survey, along with the pseudonym Fenasi Kerim. It is believed he developed some kind of cheat-voting program to achieve this result. Since there was no known popular figure called "Murat Arslan" back then the name created a hue among Turkish press including newspapers and TV shows. It's been removed from the list eventually though leaving Fenasi Kerim as one of the most popular fake names in Turkish culture.

Famous quotes containing the words time and/or incident:
“As the farmer casts into the ground the finest ears of his grain, the time will come when we too shall hold nothing back, but shall eagerly convert more than we now possess into means and powers, when we shall be willing to sow the sun and the moon for seeds.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Every incident connected with the breaking up of the rivers and ponds and the settling of the weather is particularly interesting to us who live in a climate of so great extremes. When the warmer days come, they who dwell near the river hear the ice crack at night with a startling whoop as loud as artillery, as if its icy fetters were rent from end to end, and within a few days see it rapidly going out. So the alligator comes out of the mud with quakings of the earth.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
