My youth is long gone, but I’m holding onto my immaturity, by gosh. Just like Lakehead University:
A small Canadian university has sparked controversy with its recruitment drive by using posters and a website mocking US President George W Bush.
Lakehead University in northern Ontario set up www.yaleshmale.com in a bid to attract potential new students.
It shows a picture of Yale graduate Mr Bush with the caption: “Graduating from an Ivy League university doesn’t necessarily mean you’re smart.”
…
“Lakehead is different. We believe the person you become after you graduate is even more important than the person you were when you enrolled.”
…
Student union president Isabelle Poniatowski told Reuters the campaign was low-brow and lacked class.
“It still strikes me as being very repugnant,” she said. “Lakehead has so many positive attributes that you could really sell to people that live down south.”
And what does a university have if it doesn’t have class?
Sure, this recruitment campaign is immature and inappropriate. Here’s to immaturity and inappropriateness.
