Stupid Publicity Stunts

There's a university in Canada that is so little known, it needs to mock President Bush's intelligence to get people to go to its website.

TORONTO (Reuters) - Posters and a Web site mocking President Bush have put the spotlight on a small Ontario university that thought a bold and edgy recruiting campaign was just the ticket to attract potential students.

The Web site, http://www.yaleshmale.com, has a black and white picture of Bush, with the caption: "Graduating from an Ivy League university doesn't necessarily mean you're smart."

Bush graduated from Yale in 1968.

I must give credit where it's due, however. The school won't be bothering with a meaningless apology.

"You don't undo the damage that has been done, if there's damage, by simply retracting," [Frederick Gilbert] said, adding the school will try to respond individually to people who expressed concerns.

Perhaps Lakehead University's mascot will be a cowboy...

Is it not against the law to use any person's image in an advertising campaign without compensation or consent? The President of the United States is not excepted! It's despicable and appalling.
