Cenk Uygur will Name his Son Prometheus

[Abena20]

He kept his word

[SandmanJAAE]

every time someone even mildly famous has a child.. the name is usually pretty weird

[schlafanzyk]

Yeah, because Cenk is such an American liberal name and not a Turkish name at all, idiot. If you want to re-spell every single name for every language out there, then you're insane.

[SovereignStatesman]

Why doesn't he just hang a sign on the kid's back saying "KICK MY ASS"

[microdeluxe]

hahaha...the last bit had me crackin'

[trilobright]

How tall is Cenk? He comes off as a big guy, but based on my travels in Greece and Turkey that's a genetic longshot. 

[SovereignStatesman]

@trilobright

He's a blimp llike most Joisey muslims.

[schlafanzyk]

I will name my son Cenk. Imagine that.. a half German, half American kid named Cenk. When I first heard it, I though it was Jake, but I totally dig that name.

[SovereignStatesman]

@schlafanzyk

The stupid thing is that he spells it like it's pronounced "Senk," but he pronounces it "Jenk" because he's too much an asshole to just change the fucking spelling.

"Yeah my name's spelled Sjfkdlapsodfod but it's prounced "Wakababob."

Fucking liberals and their demands.

[utkusarioglu]

@schlafanzyk cenk means heroic fight in turkish. just letting you know

[Sylinic]

Hahahaha, love it, he really did.

[BVargas78]

I will name my son, Victor. Victor Vargas. Has a good ring to it :)

[melojordans23]

@BVargas78 Victor Victorino Vargas

[Saphira4eva]

This video makes me so happy d;

[Austin101123]

psst ana, he really named his son Prometheus!!! BELIEVE HIM!!! He was serious!!

[Ramsez]

woooooooooooooooooooow that's a GREAT name! 

[1Adr1an6]

I will name my son Dick Dickson.

:)

[Pondebong]

prometheus is a badass name

[EmeraldIsleStar]

@Pondebong its a silly fucking name lol

[BeyLeb94]

OMG, my name is Anthony! This made my day!

[nekokittyrenee]

Greek and Turk <3 dear lord Hetalia Ship in a name

[gangstervural]

Lol, his kid is an Uyghur, no lol seriously...

Uyghur people are Turic people living in the Chinese province of Xinjiang, they have language similar to Turkish and they have the same ancestor.

[kefkahkefkah]

@gangstervural

Yeah almost. Uyghur named people in turkey isent the same as the uyghur people, but a surname passed down from hundred of years ago. Also, minimal uyghur people have ughur- Also if your want to know, ughur comes from Oghuz, the ughyr beaing the political clan of 9.

[gangstervural]

@kefkahkefkah yep

[gangstervural]

Prometheus, is that some ancient greek name?

[CardPlay3r]

Anyone else think Ana badly wants Prometheus' Dad?

[phenomballer666]

That is such a good thought to have when going about naming someone. Its much better than picking something out of a hat.

[JawsJaws]

Cenk is a fucking ball licker.

[darkspeed62]

@JawsJaws wow that was such a spiteful and un-called for thing to say.

[theprotectshade]

why didnt he name him Jayar Jr

since he will take after him......

[tmichael25]

Uygur Please

[nietzscheprime]

dude, Nietzsche Prime would have been the perfect name

[megadethman101]

love the name and cenk did name his kid prometheus "pro" for short

[sameer137]

How about Senzangakhona kaJama?

[TheUnitedStatists]

yer a fag cenk, therefor you picked a perfect fag name for your fag kid..i i hope someone beats the fuck out of your pussy kid

[Bellita1]

I hope his kid is Gay and Retarded and gets killed by Muslim Extremists.

[ihateanthoney]

@Bellita1

i hope your son isgay and retarded and gets killed by right wing nutjobs

[Bellita1]

@ihateanthoney My Son is 100% Republican. He has a stuffed Elephant that he carries around with him. There is no way he is gay and he speaks 2 languages at 2.5 years old. So he isn't retarded either.

[ihateanthoney]

@Bellita1

if hes 100% republican he retarded and how the fuck do you know if hes gay or not when hes only two and a half years old

[Bellita1]

@ihateanthoney, He must be one smart Retard speaking 2 languages at his age. I can already tell he is smarter than you are. How's that hope and change working out for you? haahahahahahahahha. My son is so manly he is already trying to bang chicks.

[Noraa666]

@Bellita1 He has your retard gene so.....

Lol your son almost sounds like as big as a faggot as his father bragging about his son on a random video.

[Bellita1]

@Noraa666 Dear Cunt, are you homophobic? Why do you call gays faggots? By the way, my son could kick Jank's sons ass just like his father could kick Janks ass.

[pemchem]

... and then when Prometheus gets older, he'll get chained to a rock and have his liver eaten out each day by an eagle. Brilliant!

[bbphnix]

Prometheus is a dumb name for kid, the guy ended up on a mountain, chained, with his liver eating regularly by an eagle as punishment for giving fire to the people..... you want that kind of screw-up as a name?

[19996669991]

Love that name.  I wish I'd thought of Prometheus.

I wanted to go for Cloudesley but for some reason my wife vetoed it.

[HillDueceua]

so Prome for short? "Hey Prome, you clubbin' tonight bro?"

[yucevd]

Promotheus?1? well, fine. but if you choose that for your son, (obviously you cant find a name in your mother tongue that has a corresponding meaning, poor you) then you can consider changing the name of your show as well. You could for instance call it "Carbonari". would be more consistent in terms of your choices of names :)) And I strongly recommend that you switch to a brand new name for your self: Abdullah Cevdet (a member of young turks, i mean, the real ones)...

[Stickmodee]

Promethius? He should name him after himself and call him "Worlds Biggest Asshole"

[shikakibasasu]

@Stickmodee I thought his name was Cenk ;o

[Ragitsu]

@Stickmodee

You are a fool.

[Stickmodee]

@Ragitsu No, I'm not. I just recognize a socialist blowhard when I see one.

Good Day.

[Ragitsu]

@Stickmodee

I thought you meant "World's Biggest Asshole"? By the way, why are you (apparently) vilifying socialism/socialists? Are you a fan of stereotypes?

[Stickmodee]

@Ragitsu Why shouldn't socialism be villified? That Godless, humanist system has brought nothing but misery, murder and mayhem throughout the globe. Freedom works, my friend.Those are the facts, not stereotypes. Be free to be the best you can be. America is not perfect, nor are the people any better than anyone else on Earth. We have just had the FREEDOM to reach the potential GOD has granted us.

[Ragitsu]

@Stickmodee

I think you're a troll, but i'll humor you anyways:

You don't need religion or belief in a deity to be a good human being. On the flipside, some of the worst (and most hypocritical) human beings have claimed to be religious or believe in a deity.

Lastly,

"Freedom works, my friend.Those are the facts, not stereotypes."

Actually, the stereotype was in relation to a type of government. Socialism and communism, in and of themselves, are not evil. If those in charge are benevolent,

[Ragitsu]

@Ragitsu

And the people that choose socialism or communism are content, then what's to fuss about?

[Stickmodee]

@Ragitsu I really don't care what a lost person thinks of me. And you don't humor me. Godless, communist, socialists don't have a sense of humor,. Only a sense of smug righteousness. If there is not an absolute(God) , then we are all freee to decide what is "good" in our own mind.Who is right? socialism and communism have killed over 120 million people in the last 100 years. Man is not benevolent. Check the last 3000 years of history. Wishful dreaming fool. Look at its fruits. ROTTEN!

[Ragitsu]

@Stickmodee

No political movement has ever killed a human being. Ultimately, whatever your ideological or theological beliefs, you are your own person. Some folks weren't fortunate enough to be raised/live in an even-handed environment. For everyone else, they have free will.

[Stickmodee]

@Ragitsu I appreciate the civil discussion. But, to say "No political movement has ever killed a human being", is just outragiously false. I don't know your age(I'm guessing you are young,no offense), but, was Nazism a political movement? Is communism still a political movement? is socialism? Was our American Revolution(The Geatest Political Movement Ever)? Did people die there? We all have free will. But the human free will yearns for FREEDOM.

[Ragitsu]

@Stickmodee

But by the same token, they were also folks involved in those movements that *didn't* kill. People kill all the time, for all sorts of reasons. A political movement is just color for an action.

[Stickmodee]

@Ragitsu Not sure what you mean buy that. But, I just think you contradicted youreself. The bottom line God given freedom works, man given dictates don't . Good night , brother.

[Ragitsu]

@Stickmodee

But if there is no God, then who gave us the freedom? I'd say: we did.

[Stickmodee]

@Ragitsu There is a God. Read "The Case For Christ" by Lee Strobel. He was once like you.

[Ragitsu]

@Stickmodee

Didn't really answer my question, but okay.

[Darusdei]

@Stickmodee god given freedom works and that's why slavery is acceptable according to the bible.

you're not being very coherent. did you think even for a minute before posting something as retarded as that?

[Ragitsu]

@Stickmodee

That's what teaching others is for. Doesn't require religion/a deity.

[SirianKings]

I'm naming my kid chef Boyardee.

[DoggyHateFire]

Cenk lived up to his promise

[luccjoska]

really maybe it might be nice for some to be more clever than God, or Gods,

but it is not really our way to steal even from God,

to rule with a sword of Tengri, maybe it is tough,

but to steal ? it is an image for a man, or for a warrior?

is it the samurai codex?

Türk, çadırda doğar, at üstünde ölür.

May Tengri bless every child, HUN or not HUN by heart, every child.

[jhardyrules13]

@luccjoska wtf are you on about

[luccjoska]

Maybe Tengri won't be really angry because of this symbolism with the name of Prometheos, but it really would be a gesture to his ancient forefathers and foremothers to give a Turkic name to a Turkic boy.

And it applies to all Ahmed like name givings too.

I suggest the name of Atilla.

[ceyhunPak]

@luccjoska Magyar brother I'm apsoultly agree with you. Turks should choose to our ancestors name such as Alper Tunga, Atilla, Oguz, Blada, Arpad, Alper etc. we have many good names and their meaning are certanly good. If we forget our history, we will be assimilated non nation people.

[horbergaren]

i googled Prometheus, apparently he is already a very famous kid

[callowaymotorcompany]

crazy bastard actually did it..

[meralodem]

Spanish or South American people have many names even more than four names so Cenk why dont you add one more turkish name to your son's full name....

Tony Prometheus Alp Uygur??????

[emmyjo720]

Two years late he has done it.

[CHAOSoriginal]

What ever happenned to normal names, like Optimas Prime?

[Ken211]

@CHAOSoriginal My favorite game is Mass Effect and I'm seriously thinking of naming my future son Thane or Garrus. Based solely on my genes, my son will be the tall skinny dude who's only intimidating feature is his name :)

[kaanyEast]

@CHAOSoriginal It would be funnier if you knew how to spell

[sfoster1985]

@CHAOSoriginal

LOL My cat's name. And his sister Acree!

[FearedBliss]

@CHAOSoriginal I actually like Prometheus. I'm going to talk to my gf about naming my son after a god.

[dimalex8]

Prometheus is tottaly cool name. Im just tired of ordinary name name, nick, tom, tim, ben etc.

Props to cenk for choosing a name that actually means something.

[Baalthazaq]

I might name my kid Prometheus. :)

AWESOME name.

[spazzing]

My friend told me her aunt named her 3 kids after alcohol drinks, like Hennesy.

[bluesboy25000]

@spazzing I knew a chick in High School named Hennessy. Oddly enough, good Christian girl. Never drank a sip as far as I know

[Minkki82]

You guys catch that last line of Cenk's about the eagle? An eagle ate Prometheus' liver :(

[TriaMaxwell]

@Minkki82 Read the myths.

[Minkki82]

@TriaMaxwell "Prometheus was put in chains, and fastened to a pillar, where an eagle sent by Zeus consumed in the daytime his liver" and then it grew back and so on. What was wrong with my understanding of the myths? Or were you just encouraging me to read them in general?

[TriaMaxwell]

@Minkki82 Definately encouraging you to read in general, if you prefer the lighter versions, I suggest Percy Jackson.... But read the books, the movie, while okay was adapted badly in parts.

[TheAlexander356]

@TheStandofTheLastGuy prometheus an awesome name!

[jjbunny79]

i gonna name my son Orkesh and my daughter Marjan. after Orkesh Dolet and Marjane Strapi

[dimalex8]

at least hes son will have something that will distinguish him from the others. Im tired of the common stupid names(nick, tom, ben etc.). The boy will have a name that actually means something("forethought" for the first one and "the greatest" for the second one)

[gurkan87]

omg, what would be funnier is if he turnsout to be a ping pong player!

[aslanmane]

I think that it is a parent's right to name their child whatever they want, given that it isn't "hooker", "dumbfuck" or the like. Prometheus is a fucking awesome name and the kid should be proud of it! Kudos to Cenk for having the balls to actually do it!

[dcaste03]

Love 0:06-0:09. lol

[mrchacko]

Whats wrong with the name Prometheus?

[lowcarbonlife]

It's so sad that he named his poor son that...

[Uniqueindividual91]

@PearceCTV No he didn't

[GooGobbler113]

@Uniqueindividual91 He really did.

[Boggieman667]

@Uniqueindividual91 Yup...he did.

[Uniqueindividual91]

God! I hope that Jenk Yougr will not name his son Pro-me-theist!

[UnionHighsLadyL]

Ping-pong yeah!

[torca1950ancola]

His full name now is Prometheus Maximus Uygur.

Im guesing that Cenk chose the middle name Maximus because he's a big fan of Gladiator.

[antred11]

@torca1950ancola Commander of the armies of the north. :)

[darkspeed62]

@torca1950ancola What does gladiator have to do with anything?

[torca1950ancola]

@darkspeed62 Russell Crowes character in Gladiator was named Maximus Decimus Meridius (Maximus for short).Its Cenks favorite movie,so he gave his son the middle name Maximus.

[darkspeed62]

@torca1950ancola ahh. You know, it's funny... I've never seen Gladiator but I've seen A LOT of Russel Crowe films haha. Thanks for the response though. Perhaps I should watch Gladiator too?

[ChristianHHS1016]

I think prometheus is a good name. For short, call him Pro. Now come on, that badass. "Yo, Pro, wanna hang out?" good stuff man

[Robizdamanwitdaplan]

I learned about Greek mythology in school. Yeah, Prometheus is a badass name :D

[JeffSims009]

really he did? what a fucking asshole.....

[ivenstorm]

@JeffSims009 thats nothing there was a thing online where if this chick got 500,000 subscribers to her facebook page she would name her kid megatron

last i checked she was nearing the million mark

[bbphnix]

@ivenstorm for REAL?!

[ivenstorm]

@bbphnix yes, though its been closed off now for about 8 or so months

[Berialavrenti]

prometheus uyghur?????

[jibiuro]

Cenk, Gavur does not actually mean Non-muslim:) you kinda BSd there.. they call the people 'gavur' who do not belong to a religion having a god and prophet. It's considered cussing if you call a christian 'gavur' since you are simply denying jesus;) Congratulations man! Anali babali mutlu bir hayat sursun promo!

[KangaKucha]

Ana should name her son Tony-Scott :)

[KangaKucha]

@TheStandofTheLastGuy relax, he will get a nickname eventurally.

[KangaKucha]

I;m naming my darthers Mayuka and Sasha, and my son will be Roger, after micheal moores frist movie, Roger and me.

[nongo]

Two years later.....

[CardinalRaker]

WTF is "Tony"? Don't you mean WTF is "Prometheus"

[Imprezaman555]

@TheStandofTheLastGuy poor kid? I'd LOVE that name!

[thetrueturnip]

@StopTerrorism1 ahahahaha dude, just go out and make some friends. Really, I think it would be good for you. Is that really the high of your day? Is your life really that boring that you just spam YouTube with your bullshit. And no I don't want to nuke Mecca and if it was nuked it would not end Islam. Dude don't bother replying, I can't be bothered with u anymore.

[StopTerrorism1]

@thetrueturnip You just have Nuke-Mecca-phobia. You're just prejudiced and biased against NUKING Mecca.

[thetrueturnip]

@StopTerrorism1 why are you such an attention seeking whore? well i guess like mother like son aiy. is there something mentally wrong with you? why are you randomly replying to people stuff about nuking mecca when they said nothing of the sort. is thi what you do for attention? dont you have any friends, or anyone who would give you a little attention. is your life really that pathetic that you have to spam youtube for attention? just piss of nobody like you, you dickhead.

[StopTerrorism1]

@thetrueturnip Then you can just ignore me instead of you wanting to NUKE Mecca?

[StopTerrorism1]

@thetrueturnip Would NUKING Mecca end Islam?

[McHunt7]

Prometheus Maximus Uygur. That kid is going to grow up and sue this guy for human rights violation!!!

[horbergaren]

it's a fucking awesome name

[StopTerrorism1]

@horbergaren "Nuke-Mecca" would also be an awesome name.

[StopTerrorism1]

"Mohammed was a pure charlatan" - Cenk Uygur

[Reqrezentin]

The name is badass, but the Maximus is over stretching .

[StopTerrorism1]

He is a hypocrite and a Muslim supremacist. Would he want religious freedom for Christians in Muslim countries.

[Reqrezentin]

@StopTerrorism1

He speaks up for it everyday! What a dumbass you are. He is former Muslim now agnostic.

[StopTerrorism1]

@Reqrezentin So what you're saying is that Israel should NUKE Mecca.

[Reqrezentin]

@StopTerrorism1

What the fuck are you on about you crazy motherfucker?

[StopTerrorism1]

@Reqrezentin So you're saying that someone should NUKE Mecca?

[ZnBangash]

@StopTerrorism1

Why the fuck are you spamming this shit everywhere?

[StopTerrorism1]

@ZnBangash So you're saying that someone should NUKE Mecca?

[ZnBangash]

@StopTerrorism1

No, I am saying STFU B*tch!

[StopTerrorism1]

@ZnBangash What, you want to NUKE Mecca?

[LMA629]

wow he just automatically assumes that his son is going to be an atheist just like him

[LMA629]

i can't believe he actually did it. prometheus maximus??!!! poor kid. i would just go with max if i were him

[hoppercap]

Cenk Uygur is Jewish.

[crackerz99]

@hoppercap roflmaobbq!

[gujjucheap]

hes turkish

[hoppercap]

@gujjucheap Geraldo Rivera is Puerto Rican and Stephen Fry is English. They are both Jews. So is Cenk Uygur.

[gujjucheap]

no fool, hes from a muslim turkish background, hes not a jew from turkey like stepehn fry is a jew from england

[hoppercap]

@gujjucheap Believe me, he's Jewish. A lot of Jews have "Christian backgrounds" and "Buddhist backgrounds" and "Muslim backgrounds." The Young Turks were a Jewish-led group that committed genocide against the Armenians. This guy has Jew written all over him. His spiritual aura is a Jewish one, not Muslim or agnostic.

[LJKBIGMAC]

Then how about you prove it.

[hoppercap]

@LJKBIGMAC Read Israel Shamir and you'll figure it out.

[GozerTheGozerian]

@hoppercap Agreed, he's clearly a Zionist who hates America and supports Israeli control over the US.

[Taidgh17]

lol Cenk:I'm calling my son tony

Parents: HELL NO YOU CAN'T! :P

Promethus Maximus ftw

[Saffroncreature]

i hear that name before i think it's in Greek myth and he's kinda a good guy in that myth so i guess it's a good name :)

[jho5]

wow and I thought he was joking

[bluesboy25000]

I love Cenk because he lived up to his promise, which is more than I can say for the Democrats.

[Burakius]

Cenk, what an absolute idiotic name. You have lost it bro. You're name sucked also. War :'). U must have alevi parents.

[xwrathchild09]

@Burakius - Alevis rock. They are some of the most secular Turks. True Turks.

[Burakius]

@xwrathchild09

Alevi Turks are the ones who destroy turkey and real Turks are Muslims.

[xwrathchild09]

@Burakius - Alevis are Muslims. And who are you to say who is or isn't Turkish. Most Turks are secular, including Cenk.

[nickyripper]

0:08-0:12 lol

[dakoneko]

Unfortunately, Cenk, no one else will see, understand, or even care about that symbolism. Just don't be upset if he changes his name when he turns 18.

[Parralyzed]

In your face Anna!

[bluesboy25000]

@Parralyzed She was trying to talk him down from this and he was like screw that.

[cosmicforums]

He did it..yes he did...he named his kid like a transformer...LOL...just kidding around.

[CodeofVideos]

YAY

[Rosannasfriend]

so awesome Cenk! I'm glad you really meant it!

[Firestorm6X6]

fuck yeah!

PROMETHEUS MAXIMUS UYGUR

[jesusoculto]

i forgot all about this. at least we know he can keep his word

[sxer99]

lmfao Cenk is a boss and I totally agree with the reason and meaning behind the name. Great name, Cenk.
