The gnu (or "wildebeest") is a hooved antelope-type mammal that lives in the Serengeti. The mythical Catoblepas animal is roughly based on the appearance of the GNU. Catobelepas were described as sluggish but deadly: one look from them could kill an enemy. We at the GNU Public Dictatorship understand that many people think of dictators as sluggish, but deadly.
In a clever play on words, we decided that a "NEW" or "GNU" dictator would be neither sluggish nor deadly. Your friendly neighborhood dictator ought to be for the people ... and by some of the people. We all know people that we don't want to run the world. An ideal government utilizes those who have the public best interests in heart and will work for the welfare of the common masses.
And so we bring to you a "gnu" form of dictatorship: one that is certainly not like the "catoblepas" or animal "gnu" but one that is dedicated to "new" forms of peaceful world monopoly. Remember: we are here for you, the public. We are the GNU Public Dictatorship.
I'm happy to see that some of you have understood the relevance of our title without the aid of this explanation. The following logo was submitted by Setsuko of Detroit. Thanks, Setsuko, for raising the bar just a little bit higher!
