St. Francis Fakers


St. Francis Fakers

this is an advertisement for St. Francis College in Brooklyn. So I guess their graduates are soooooo elite that once they have a "college degree" they wear suits, keep sunglasses on indoors and talk continuously on their hands free cell.
It's funny how ads like these use the cultural cues of "power." b.c this ad's cues (men with suits, sunglasses, earpiece) are not so much about intelligence and knowledge-which is what u think college degrees should be about, but these cues are really about power, image, and perception.
So do guys really want to be like this and do women want guys like this?
