Do we really believe that the designers at The Age didn’t see this one coming? Just check out how they tackled the front page image for yesterday’s sport section.

Looks like new Jaspan appointee, sports editor David Dick, is making his presence felt.  

Brace yourself: once you’ve seen it you can’t unsee it:

Ah. Putting the Wank in Wankley.

    OH! DEAR GOD! Thank you! I saw it on the bench at a famous family restaurant and wondered what the hell it was! I had to take a second look to make sure that being a media teacher has not reduced me to seeing Freudian symbolisms everywhere. I am not alone in this world.

    That’s a cool photo don’t bag it. I don’t like much from The Age but I always think they have very engaging and Sports front pages.
