Silly picture of the Week: Useful Advertisment
by Jim on Mar.11, 2008, under Pictures, The real world, university
All the universities in Birmingham are currently ’spamming’ the city with advertisements. Now for the smaller Universities — read “fake universities” these places are really just revamped sixth forms that now offer courses for over 18s — this is probably necessary; however, the big boys are at it too.
What I don’t Understand is the University of Birmingham, the oldest and most prestigious university in the city, is advertising just as much as these ‘unknown’ universities. I wonder how many people you would have to ask who live in Birminham, or the surrounding areas, if they have heard of the university before you find someone who hasn’t?
This is as dumb as an advertisement for the Eiffel tower in Paris…

I’ve driven past that thing in many different people’s cars over the last few weeks, and EVERYONE says the same thing… and it’s not even a very interesting ad!

It has to be the most boring and pointless advert ever made, even more pointless than the ones on here!
