GPS: Invest In Your Daughter
Am I the only one who thinks GPS's slogan that sometimes cycles through The Chattanoogan's refreshable ad column is a little creepy? Such a great sum up of the general attitude I get from that school-- backwards attitudes about women (I'm an investable commodity? Really?) disguised as pushing them forward (Isn't a prep-school supposed to prep you for an Ivy League these days?) while promoting antiquated ideas about status, class, and family values.
Every time I hear about the goings on at GPS, I am more and more weirded out by what kind of circus they're running over there.
Hey, at least they're still doing better than their botched slogan from a few years ago. A friend of mine from Ooltewah told me about a sample mug GPS sent over emblazoned with the new slogan, reading "GPS: Where Girls Come First." After a quick phone call from the recipient to the admissons department explaining the double entendre at work, I hear the new line of products were all recalled.

I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did considering the school's weird policy on sex even coming up in conversations amongst friends in the common areas.
