Well you can wonder what these boys are doing in such position. Don’t have evil ideas instantly :) Actually it is an entertaining traditional Turkish game played in two teams. There are donkey team and jumpers team. Jumpers try to crash the donkey line by jumping on them. If they become successful they get the points. There is in most cases a prize like baklava or something similar to eat for the winners. Many people have backaches or other problems with their spines in Turkey and non surprisingly they played this games in their young times !

Look other funny photos and a video!

Turkish play even at the sea!

  1. This is the funniest thing I’ve seen, but they look like they are having so much fun and that makes me happy to see them happy. :)

  2. Here is my web site for all of you wonderful Turks out there!

  3. haha they are having fun really:D

  4. I played that game many times, its so much fun. The thing about the game is you have to try to make the people on the bottom row fall apart and if you do you win but usually the line is really long and the best jumpers go first. Those were some fun times. Its definitely not sexual from the look of it. The guy in the beginning is called pillow man he usually has a pillow by his crotch. Play it with a group of friends its hilarious and fun. Oh yea if the jumpers feet touch the ground (aka ground support) the team looses.

  5. i think it’s a very gay game but still it looks fun
