You Gotta Love Cape Town
Not everyone loves the tabloid headlines on lamp poles – but I have to admit that I find them highly amusing most times.
There have been complaints from parents who say they don’t want their children seeing the sensationalistic posters on their way to school in the morning, but I’m sure most of it goes over children’s heads anyway.
This morning’s one was a classic. I think it was our local Cape Town tabloid, the Daily Voice.
It said “Jolmeit’s Diary Today”. (a direct translation would be Party girl’s diary)
The translation though does not do justice to the Cape Flats term – nor probably to the undertone or image that it conjures!
Think ….
(without the dog)
As much as I enjoy the headline posters, I have no real interest in reading the article itself. So unfortunately I cannot say what that girl (mentioned in the poster) has written in her diary. It surely has to be more entertaining than mine!
