School is...A New Car!

Edmonton Public School Board has launched a new ad campaign, "School Is...". For the most part it is a benign slogan with such gems as "School Is A Great Place To Work" or "School Is A Path to the Future" or "School Is Needed if You Want the Finer Things in Life".

The one that caught my eye (on the side of a City transit bus) was "School Is Where I Met My Wife".

I know what they meant but, really, this could be taken the wrong way. The age of consent is still sixteen...

On another note, the Canadian Government bailed out GM Canada today, making taxpayers a twelve percent owner in the company. As an shareholder I would ask for a car as a dividend, if they weren't so crappy.
