Canadian University uses Bush in enrollment campaign ..hilarity ensues:

Graduating from an Ivy League university doesn't necessarily mean you're smart.

to be fair Lakehead isnt exactly a school for the brightest minds either ..it's usually a choice only after you've been rejected from other schools

I've seen Bush on one of the billboards on my drive home from work. I don't remember word for word what it said, but it had to do with illiteracy. The expression on Bush's face made him look like he had just escaped from a half-way house.

I guess using Bush for advertising is a new fad.

Ha! Unfortunately not.

I'll try and describe it. From the waist up he is in frame. Arms at the side and his body is tilted to the left. Slight smile, no teeth, and a blank stare in his eyes.

Kind of like this picture of Paul Reubens, only not so terrifying:

The university has a nice name I gotta admit.

The ad is very true though.

Our president should have been more of a comedian movie star, who maybe played a retarded president in a movie\show.

Lakehead, to be honest is a bit of a joke ..I mean they give away prizes if you enroll

Are Universities in Canada expensive like the US?

 

[CptStern]

yes ..moreso on average but not in the same range as Yale or Harvard etc ..mind you I havent paid tuition in over a decade so I think my opinion is outdated

They might not be the brightest out there but at least they have a sense of humor. They should have used a better picture though.

Tution - 5,000-5,500
On-campus residence - 7,000-8,500

Never mind the other stuff.
