Colossal U ad Campaign
Personally, I don't think the ad was appropriate at all...they are telling us that everyone is exactly the same when clearly we are not..people think differently. Even though we are created in the image of God we are never gonna be alike. For example twins might look alike but there are certain characteristics that make them different or opposite from each other. The way they think is different. Another thing one twin can be taller than another twin and one can be quiet and the other might be loud. They have no right to tell us that we are the same and if they don't want new ideas and new thinking then they are telling us that all students from that university think alike..If there is no diversity how is it gonna work? This is ridiculous!! Students should instead be encouraged to do what they are good at not what the whole school is good at..This is saying that the university system is really boring and that they all think alike. Thus, after going to the website of Colossal University, I found out that it was a fake ad. Colossal University is not a real school. I guess they were just trying to make it more interesting and have a debate about it and promote Algoma University. I guess that was pretty smart but if students actually believed it then less students would want to go to that school. It was good but it causes controversy. I don't think they implied it good enough.

I agree with you, Nneka. The ad was creative but was not very well thought out. If I were a student looking for a university to go to, I would have never checked out Colossal U's website because I would never want to go to a school where new ideas are not accepted and where everyone turns out the same. I would want to go to a school where everyone is allowed to be different and unique in their own way, thus I would have never have found out that Colossal U's is actually just a fake university created to advertise Algoma University.
You made a good point.
I thought it was a good advertisement only because such controversial advertisements make me want to check out their website and see what they are about and see their point of view and their reason for such advertising.
