Anyone noticed they changed that Univ. of Phoenix commercial?

The older one had the extremely annoying voiced girl singing about having a brain and ends with that inconsiderate bitch shushing the security guard at the library despite it being very obvious it was closing time.

I saw another one recently and I can only assume their social media team heard how poorly received the first one was and made a change. First, they ditched the annoying singer asking the viewer if we have a brain. We then see that same girl in the library in the same scene. Only this time instead of blindly shushing the guard and being oblivious to others, she engages him in convo and smiles and looks sorry and begins to pack her stuff up.

Anyone else noticed this?

I don't know what you're talking about so I downvoted.

That commercial is as irrelevant as a degree from University of Phoenix.

No, I actually use that invention that allows you to fast forward through commercials.

No but I enjoy the irony of the song. You only have to have the absolute minimum amount of intelligence to realize that a person without a brain is going to be dead, as opposed to simply not smart.

I think I hate the girl who sings that song even more than the dumb count that named her car Brad. And that's no easy feat.

Okay, now that I provided you with links to both versions of the commercial, is there any reason why you even brought this up?

yes, i do know what commercial you're talking about. i hadn't seen the new one, though. i found your thread interesting. i don't know if i would have made a thread about this had i noticed it, in fact i seriously doubt i would have, but thanks for posting nonetheless.

I work in DC. Everytime we get a resume from Univ. of Phoenix, it goes in the trash. There are way too many online programs offered by credible universities now.

Is it bias? Absolutely and it's not defensible. I've known a few Phoenix professors. They're continuing education level.

-higher rate of black people signing up for phoenix
-I saw a commercial for phoenix
-black people watch BET and BET targets ads towards black people
-you comment you don't watch BET

I would think a scholar such as yourself could figure out that, crazy as it is, phoenix may advertise their commercials on multiple channels.
