Yale Schmale - New recruitment ad by Lakehead University - Thunder Bay

[CatBoreal]

A pedestrian walks by images of George W. Bush over the words `Yale Shmale’ on Lakehead University’s new ad campaign posters which alludes a Yale degree does not equal smarts.

Students told `Yale Shmale'

Lakehead University is poking fun at U.S. President George W. Bush and his Ivy League alma mater in an edgy new guerrilla marketing campaign intended to lure students to its Thunder Bay campus.

Dubbed "Yale Shmale," the $100,000 promotion features an image of Bush — Yale University, Class of 1968 — on posters that will be plastered on construction sites and other outdoor locations across the Greater Toronto Area.

"Graduating from an Ivy League university doesn't necessarily mean you're smart," reads the second of two posters set for release, "Choosing Lakehead does."

*SNIP*

Officials with Yale did not return phone calls.

A White House spokesperson refused comment.

Hey Gang!

Hope all is well. Last time I posted was in November, I think. Had my baby boy - Gage Strahan - on May 16th, which is why I haven't had time to post.

But there was no way I could pass on posting this here. Hope you have a good laugh.

Take care.

MODS: sorry if this is a double post.

1. That is both hilarious and tragic at the same time.

Bush really makes you wonder about the academic standards at Yale.

Maybe Yale never imagined a legacy could embarrass them so badly.

Bush has embarrassed me and I am simply an American, not a graduate of Yale.
