Maybe We Should Have Named the School "America University?"

Drake University recently implemented a new marketing plan to promote the academic experience a student would get at the midwestern school.  I guess this story demonstrates the pitfalls of marketing a school whose name begins with the letter "D."

Drake's idea of "D+" as a marketing logo is right up there with the old Latin-American promotion of the Chevy Nova. You know, the car whose name in Spanish means "no go."

The marketers who foisted this plan on Drake have a great career ahead of them ... in satire. Who knows where these jesters will strike next?
