As wooing methods go, trying to hook yourself a new paramour whilst simultaenously sharing that you killed both your ex-wife and your ex-girlfriend, isn't perhaps the smoothest move.
But that's exactly what 62-year-old Sefer Calinak did, when he appeared on Turkish TV's dating show *Luck of the Drawer. *With a tentative smile on his face, he explained to the host - and his dumbfounded future date - that he had served time in prison for both murders but has been released under an amnesty programme. He was being honest about his past, he said, because he is 'an honest person looking for a new wife.'
Of course, it's good to be straight up about your past. Thing is, if that past entails murdering women, rather than, say, the theft of a few penny sweets - it's probably not best shared on a light-hearted TV show. When you're trying to get yourself a date with an, er, woman.
It looks the TV host agreed as Sefer was asked to leave the show. His departure was then met with a resounding cheer from the audience.
Can you imagine if this happened on Take Me Out? We're pretty sure all the lights would go off.
