SVA Ad Reaches For the Stars, Fails Miserably
As a former (non-matriculating) student of NYC's School of Visual Arts, I get sharp, shooting pains in the right side of my brain every time I see one of the school's less-than-stellar recruitment ads. Previously, in a subway poster advertising their Web design curriculum, the visual was...a spider's web. If I had presented that ad in class, my SVA instructor would've literally lit it on fire. This time, to illustrate that you, young creative person, could become a visual arts star, they've used...stars (sfx: crickets). No, but WAIT—they're BLINKING stars! To fully feel the effect of this macrocosmic creation, you must watch the 19 second video after the jump.

the wrinkled paper really adds realism to the nausea involved in space travel.

Because every knows that stars just randomly blink. Looks more like nighttime gunfire.

I just vomited a little bit of my happiness and now it is gone forever.

This ad is typical wit-less gimmicky crap. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I feel sick now.
