Canada ads bash Bush

[deadparrot]

THUNDER BAY, Ontario, Aug. 29 (UPI) -- Two advertising campaigns in Canada have begun portraying U.S. President George Bush as unintelligent to promote education and audio book sales.

Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ontario, launched the Web site yaleshmale.com, which features a picture of the president with a caption reading: "Graduating from an Ivy League university doesn't necessarily mean you're smart," the Canadian Free Press reported Tuesday.

A second campaign, by simplyaudiobooks.ca, features billboards around Toronto depicting an image of Bush with the caption "Don't read enough?"

Frederick Gilbert, president and vice-chancellor of Lakehead University, said the school's campaign was motivated by humor and not politics.
