No one we talked to in the small village outside Jinja, Uganda, knew the origination of the intriguing "mural" above. Or, is it a billboard, graffiti, government propaganda?
But all the stories we were told said basically the same thing--the underlying message is about reducing the birth rate.
Depending on who you talk to, the message "Avoid morning sex, Africa," implies that people should avoid intercourse early in the day because:
-People are less likely to use condoms in the morning.
-People should go to work instead of having sex, increasing labor output while decreasing baby output.
-After working all day, most people will be too tired for sex, thus fewer children will be born.
Who's right, who's wrong, who knows? Maybe it's none of these at all.
Either way though, it's strangely funny...as are so many things you see in Africa.
