OK dudes, seriously, I know there’s a lot of people with an unfounded hate on for this institution, but could you please start showing what is essentially the cultural hub of Atlantic Canada a little respect by spelling it correctly? NSCAD, NSCAD, NSCAD!!! If I see another “A” between the N and the S, somebody is getting stabbed with a fucking protractor.

Sure Vinace. No problem.
NASCAD. NASCAD. NASCAD!Yeah, i said it.
i thought it was called NASCAD lol woops
Maybe the unfounded hate can be blamed partially on the assumption that it is the cultural hub of atlantic canada? I suppose it is, so what the fuck, right? Pabst Blue Ribbon! and all that…
Personally, I like NSCRUD. Any institution that judges 100 garbage bags tied together by their corners as ‘art’ has lots of crud to go around.
I might take your suggestion more seriously if it was “tied” together with perhaps some rope or gimp (“ironic” enough)- Seriously, that was the sum total of my prof’s advice to me on my final project today! I find that this so called cultural hub of Atlantic Canada nothing more than a four year venue for untalented children to subject those disrepectul common folk, WHO ACTUALLY LIVE HERE- EVEN IN THE SUMMER!- to their self indulgent mimicry of other shitty hacks. I don’t find this new wave of sexy ladies wearing bear heads, neon pink triangles floating in space all that worthy of my respect. Never mind the laissez-faire attitude that stealing is ok – especially if it is for ‘Art’ (note capital A) – as long as it isn’t from someone else who is wearin six scarves too. I’m sick of walking around this apparent hub of culture to find nothing more than dozens and dozens of people wearing dresses ontop of pants with eight lace vests on, eating something green and oaty out of mason jars. That doesn’t make you any more elite than any other person on the planet. It just kinda makes you look like a dick. and a little gross. I mean what the hell do you guys put in those mason jars. Spoonin’ out, fuckin sittin on your ass all day thinking about how to fuckin make shit!By the way, it’s NSCADU. Believe it or not, the “U” stands for “university”, not “utopia for the chronically self-absorbed”
Vinace and NSCRUD ftw
THAT is why people have a hate on for NSCAD, you all come down here from Toronto because you think there’s something “campy” or “cult” about it, then you talk about how you are the cultural “hub” of Atlantic Canada. Fuck you, this city is spilling over with culture that has NOTHING to do with a bunch of snotty rich ontario kids with tapered jeans and value village leather jackets. cuz real leather is murder, but if it has patches and scuffs, boy thats fashion!! Long before NSCAD became the new big trend for your kind, we had (and still have) our very own culture, thats unlike any other place in the world. sp please tell me why we should just RESPECT you, after being given NO reason other than your own egos, when you guys don’t respect anyone who eats meat, non-organic foods and doesnt recycle or openly protest the war in iraq. and work on your anger issues, if you want to stab everyone who hates NSCAD enough to spell it the wrong way just to get on your nerves, you may as well go back to the sleepy little Ontario suburb you came from because newsflash:we all hate you
Everyone knows that the people with talent who are at NSCAD are the people who don’t brag that they go there. They don’t care how it’s spelt by others, and don’t consider it the “cultural hub of Atlantic Canada”. To them it’s just a university where they go, study, work and then leave without being noticed because they’re dressed like normal people.
by the way? How do you stab someone with a protractor…..it’s an oval isn’t it?
Hey Redman, you’re right. A protractor is one of those half moon shaped clear plastic things from a school kids geometry set, used for measuring angles. Now if you wanted to stab someone with one of those you would want to catch them with one of the two corners, where the curve meets the straight edge. It would hurt a bit I guess.But lets say that VINACE did stab you with a protractor as promised. My advice would be to get the compass (another geometric piece…draws circles) (for you NASCAD types) and stick it pointy end in his eye. Game over.
Jeez Matt, why would you change your name… ???Hope you keep the finger-man avatar though. It rocks….
I think i’m safe in the name department 🙂 shashasha.
🙂
“cultural hub of Atlantic Canada”Did you read that off of the brochure when you paid your tuition? fucking wanker?
Start pronouncing the name of your venerable institution properly (yes NSCAD Communcations, Presidents Office and student body I’m looking at you) and its correct spelling will follow.
The extra A is for asshole.LMAO @ cultural hub of Atlantic Canada. I’ve seen fishing shacks and lobster traps with more artistic integrity than the crap NASSCAD students spew, not to mention authenticity.
Bob,How is “NSCAD” properly pronounced? Can you spell it out phonetically?Just curious.
Why is always assumed that if someone is from a wealthy family and has a snotty attitude they must be from Ontario?Wealthy Maritimers deserve to be snotfaces too, dammit!Actually no wealthy people should act way (nor do most anyway).But the Ontario-envy is so pathetic. I wish Maritmers would stop being so fucking insecure and childish about “Upper Canadians” *shudder*
