And why in the world are we marketing/promoting the school of theater or whatever that nonsense was?


I don't really mind that, they put out a lot of great students and occasionally actual Hollywood movie actresses


Although not quite as successful, the English Department produced an actual Hollywood movie actor about the same time.

I just burned my diploma.


This made me LOL.  Not sure the dramatic all caps subject matches the reason for it.  Or maybe I'm wrong and the nation is abuzz this morning with the non-HD spot ran last night.


The problem is it wasn't just in SD, it was in 16:9 SD, which means it only took up 56% of the available screen space. 

And if you were watching it on an SD TV, it only took up 42.2% of the screen!


I agree. And it raised my blood pressure 36.7%.

Maybe if we produced a spot in HD that featured a World Religions student of Steve Hayes, and ran that exclusively for the athletics events, we would make Steve embrace athletics AND Tim and Alex would jump for joy?!

At least the aspect ratio was acceptable...

Yes! We need Hays on OUr (+1 for the Slavinism) side! Regardless of his opinions on athletics, this tells me he is a very good professor: www.ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRatings.jsp
