classesUSA Uses Bawd, Bullshit to Hype Higher Ed

back-to-school_tat.png

Perhaps inspired by the tacky and totally arbitrary banners that once characterized the ads for Lower My Bills, classesUSA is circulating a series of ads to drive high school grads to get vocational degrees online.

And what better way to do it than with tattoos and a line of dancing girls in catsuits?

Granted, the spots — which make exactly zero sense — caught our attention. But would you trust your higher education with these people? It all reeks of the plaid suits and seedy tipped hats of the prototypical car salesman.
