I don't recall actually reading The Juba Telegraph, but it's a newspaper I notice a lot because of its advertising. It seems to be a stately publication, with a no-nonsense monogram of TJT and a semicircle as a logo - the semicircle perhaps indicating an interest in global news.

To immature eyes, however, I'm afraid they've just written "tit" and put a boob underneath it.

That is BEAUTIFUL.

More mature eyes might see the head of an elephant, that stately African beast, in the pendulous tail of the J, and the semi-circle as an allusion to South Sudan having separated from the north.

It's totally 'tit' and a boob, though.

Isn't it! I have enlightened several people who previously just saw the initials. They will never just see the initials again...

I read the citizen the other day, which had 3-4 pages of coverage on international women's day (including saying that Thatcher was called the iron lady in recognition of her courage and intelligence) and then the last page was a list of jokes, mostly sexist, homophobic, and rape jokes.

The only other thing I can see it as is an umbrella. Which makes no sense as the handle is at the wrong end. Maybe it's one with a hinge in the middle (because what umbrellas really need is another damn bit which folds up unexpectedly).

Oh, I can sort of see the upside down umbrella!
