[edit] 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 a made up name Fenasi Kerim. It is believed he developed some kind of cheat-voting program to achieve this result.[3] 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.
