Be less critical of humans

The title has nothing to do with what I am about to write. It’s just a reminder for myself, that’s all. Anyone seen the latest NUS Business School advertisement? It’s amazingly disgusting to me I think. Anyone knows who is Mr. Biz Ad? Oh well, I should not really be talking about this, but using superficial looks to attract attention shows just how superficial certain businesses. It’s the product that counts, not the looks. Yes indeed, Apple has a bigger market share than Creative, but is it just because of looks? It’s the design, not just the looks. If you cannot figure that out, here’s a hint: design and looks are different.

Anyway, it’s the quality of the course, the lecturers, the learning environment and tonnes of other things that counts. Cute guys should be the last thing on ones mind. If a person enters a university for the cute guys, it means she must not really have great brains either, and this infers that the school is lousy enough to have such inferior intake. If you want looks, and if you are a guy, come FASS. I have seen so much that I am sick of it. Girls, too bad, but I don’t think this country has much to offer in terms of its guy quality. Go to other countries if you are thinking of cute guys.

And ya, although I am not sure what are the rest of the universities the lady is talking about, but I do know from my friends that they are much better universities, or also, from the Sunday Times. NUS Biz School is a far cry at 92th.

I genuine case of bad marketing. Maybe it’s used to serve as a form of negative education? Luckily they rejected me a few years ago, and I landed myself in FASS, or else I would feel awfully embarrassing if I were to take any marketing module from a school that fails to even market itself properly. Cheap, low-class, disgusting that is meaningless, wasting the school fees of existing undergraduates to humiliate themselves, and above all, shows that SMU is the better business school, if not NTU. At least no one even thought of slapping back at them about their ads, and everyone in this country would prefer to go to SMU given the choice.

Finally, anyone thinks I am wrong? Take a look for yourself at this site.

Brace yourself if you want to watch it. Well, at least it got people to notice it, even the Sunday Times. Great job, the whole world is looking at you now, THE NUS Business School from Singapore that has cute guys…

PS: I know Mr. Biz Ad, hahahaha..... and ya, he is more handsome than me, but most people would hardly take that as a compliment, heeheeh....

found you from google blogsearch. I m a bizad student and in no way am i pleased at all with the recent ads. Do not use this ad as a reflection of the quality of the students there. Altho I must admit the chain of blunders since the jeans ad copule of yrs ago are indeed hurting the soul of NUS Business School.

My opinions on this can be found on my blog here.
