Lakehead University is trying out a new advertising campaign. The University, which is in Thunder Bay, is generally not well regarded in Canada. They have decided to tackle that criticism head on by telling their detractors, "Yale Shmale."

This campaign seems to resonate with the feelings of several MeFites.

Hey, listen, being made fun of is not so bad! It really toughened me up! You'll come out of this a much stronger person, and ultimately those who've made such merciless fun of you will come to the realization that they are petty scum.

Speaking of Yale shmale, how is the old school rep bearing up under the stigma of having given GWB a degree? Doesn't that pretty much argue that a chimp could go to Yale and graduate?

I assume It really depends on how rich the monkey is.
