Offspring of idiots need college savings too

A donation to a college-savings program is a lot better gift for your child or grandchild than a canister of plutonium or a knife-throwing kit. That's the message in these new spots from Red Square Agency in Mobile, Ala., for the CollegeCounts 529 Fund Campaign, a college-savings product managed by Van Kampen Investments. The children in this campaign are the perfect 529 candidates, too, as they'll need as much education as possible to counteract the effect of their genes.
