Subject: Re: University ad - awesome
they're really tapping into the college-kid mentality with the word
'awesome'. how hip!
reminds me of a confusing poster I saw in my junior high school in the
late 90s, with a picture of an orange cartoon cat wearing sunglasses,
and the text in 'wacky' yellow lettering beside it, "Too Cool For
School!"
I'm not sure if it was an incentive for students to study or to
consider vagabondism.
