Campus Introduction by Gene Block, Chancellor

[ForexReviewsCentral]

Nice introductions. 

[UCLAWeeding101]

The public would do well to speak out against UCLA's recently instituted 'approval' process on viewer comments on its YouTube video commercials.

For more on this important matter, see: "Video message from Chancellor Gene Block.flv"

Search: "The University of California and The Secular Priesthood"

And: "The University of California Office of the President as The Wizard of Oz"

As I said to the UCOP, silence is, after all, an activity of immense effect, and of immense long-term consequences.

True to form & purpose, this thoroughly-institutionalized shill ("arcadefire") now declares that he's content to go through life using an "impression" that has been deeply instilled in him via corporate-produced "UCLA pride & spirit" propaganda. But for those pursuing facts and principles to strengthen this public university—and thereby pursue an education: UCLA Weeding 101

Like any corporate shill-in-training, this one declares "Who cares if UCLA can throw you out?"—evidently unable to read (or care) that the crucial question all UCLA students should ask themselves is: How can UCLA throw you out once you're in? Of course the shill's job is to divert attention from this question and its important answer: UCLA Weeding 101

The grand prize of UCLA's marketing onslaught is clearly seen in this "pride"- and "spirit"-numbed corporate shill posing as a UCLA cheerleader.

"How can UCLA throw you out once you're in?"

They can throw you out if you don't meet the standards they clearly set. If you fail your classes, get on academic probation, and fail again, you get kicked out. Almost every school has this policy.

I'm getting the impression you're someone who went to UCLA and got kicked out. Tough break. However, all your posts show that you're not very intelligent, so it's not very surprising you would get kicked out.

[arcadefire1027]

Just ignore tommiewilde. He's posted on practically every UCLA video just saying pointless, unintelligent things. He tries to spruce up his words to sound like he's intelligent, but it actually makes him seem stupider.

Seriously, ignore this douche. UCLA is one of the best schools in the world. That's why we have school spirit.

[tommiewilde]

UCLA well knows its pumping loads of money into corporate propaganda effectively pumps loads of "spirit" into its students, who then fill their minds so thoroughly with this "spirit" that they no longer feel the need to question the way UCLA actually terminates its students. So when UCLA terminates a student by dismissing facts and disregarding its own academic codes and ethical principles, UCLA's "true bruins" don't bother to ask UCLA about this important lesson found at: UCLA Weeding 101

@tommiewilde: Labeling myself as a "Bruin" has nothing to do with corporate propaganda and everything to do with school spirit. I don't know why you keep going back to UCLA Weeding 101... It's called Life 101 - aka The Real World - no one is going to hold your hand through the process. You obviously have an impression of UCLA and probably most other successful higher education institutions that won't be changed by my responses, therefore, I'm not going to waste any more time.

@tommiewilde

Who else should be marketing the UCLA?!? Get a grip and stop acting like the man has you down! It's the admissions job to cull the applicants that are not likely to succeed at the University.

[tommiewilde]

@jpbruin1: Another reply showing UCLA that its pouring money into marketing propaganda (offset by your student tuition) is creating the most desired outcome: a person (UCLA student?) so deeply taken in by this corporate propaganda that they even name themselves "bruin." So once again the corporate chiefs can raise their champagne glasses. But the lesson (with UCLA faculty statements) remains for those wanting to understand what goes on at UCLA behind this marketing onslaught: UCLA Weeding 101

[tommiewilde]

UCLA's slick marketing apparently serves its purpose, but should we be looking to educate ourselves about the world and its powerful corporations by watching corporate advertising campaigns? Indeed, as we take our first steps into the university, we may well ask ourselves how education, in any meaningful sense of the word, can be marketed when marketing itself—veritably by definition in this modern world—employs artifice and deceit. A lesson on how UCLA can throw you out: UCLA Weeding 101

It's a youtube vid, dude. chill out.

-UCLA Class of '11.

[tommiewilde]

UCLA spends millions (helped by your tuition) on this slick marketing, and they know their millions are worth it when they read your reply to my post—they raise their champagne glasses in a high toast in their corporate boardrooms, celebrating the fact that your post shows them in the clearest terms that you're not even interested in how UCLA can throw you out. Now that's the kind of marketing that's worth more than money—marketing that removes all questions about how UCLA operates on you.
