Yes, believe it or not, it's for real!
But it seems so many people voted for him that he got chosen to represent Ireland this year.
It's nuts ,isn't it?He's a famous puppet here, he started out on children's programmes (he still does a show for kids)but he ran for president some years ago and many people also voted for him to be president.
Aside from the fact he is a turkey puppet, he was making more sense to people than the other candidates at that time...
