Im sure the majority of you have never heard of this school, maybe their are other school's out there that run a facility like this. Im outraged at their most recent commercials.
The commercial starts out like this.
A young girl is on screen and says 'You think differently then normal people don't you. You've always been interested in movies, marketing, and studios. Well now you can have that, and you don't need to be an artist, we will show you how'
Does this strike anyone as wierd? That you don't have to be an 'artist' to work in our field. Its funny because 'guber' one of our members messaged me about coming out to school in AZ and attending Collins College. It only took me one message to change his mind, the fact is that alot of employers out their right now, and in the past have put in very big bold letters at the bottom of there classified ads 'NO AL COLLINS STUDENTS NEED APPLY'
Al collins college actually used to be a very reputable college here when Al was still alive and he was running it, but after he died his sons sold the business and it has been enrolling students, and graduating them at alarming rates. Not only that, but it seems The Art Institute, and Collins college have just spit out graduates like candy, with no one being held back for artwork that is less then satisfactory. The point is, your hard earned $$$ is just paying for a piece of paper, nowadays Art schools don't care if you are an artist or not, bottom line, they want your money, and they will graduate you without you having one bit of knowledge about the industry. This should scare the crap out of the real artist that are attending colleges and getting the same grade as joe shmo who never was an 'artist' and thinks that knowing the technical side is going to land him a job, after all, he thinks differently remember.

A Tribute To Homer S.
"Getting out of jury duty is easy. The trick is to say you're prejudiced against all races."
"Don't worry. Being eaten by a crocodile is just like going to sleep... in a blender."
"Marge, what's wrong? Are you hungry? Sleepy? Gassy? Gassy? Is it gas? It's gas, isn't it?"
"Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."
"Ooh, the internet is on computers now."
"Son, when you attend sporting events, it's not whether you win or lose, it's how drunk you get."
"To start, press any key. Where's the 'any' key?"
"Lisa, if you don't like your job you don't strike. You just go in every day and do it really half-assed. That's the American way."
