Colossal U Ad Campaign




These ads also confused me because it is the complete opposite of what a university or any school in the world, Every Colossal U student will turn out exactly the same. We guarantee it." sounds very confusing at first, but if you really think about it there is a positive side of what Colossal U is trying to get in our minds. When they say every Colossal U student will turn out exactly the same they mean that we will all turn into successful people when attending their university. We will also be treated exactly the same, though Colossal University has many courses to take they are trying to make a point by stating the contrary we should think or twice or if we still do not understand we should think a third time.

The second ad, "New Ideas? New thinking. Not at Colossal U"; made me think more than once because I thought to myself aren't people in the world suppose to make new inventions to make our world a better place to live in?

I then was still considering if I was right that the ads were a positive message that most people will think it will be negative. Therefore, I went on the website to see if there was any information or analysis about the advertisement and then a flash video came on and I was proven wrong.

The University is not called Colossal U it is actually called Algoma University, and the purpose is what students want to do for their future to become successful. I felt very foolish when I was clicking the links such as "About CU", "Coming to CU", "Faculties" and so forth. Good thing the girl came out of no where and pushed away every thing.
Thus, I had a feeling that the advertisements were fraud and a university will never be built under a defective system such as they promoted.
