Ah, land of sunshine, warm beaches, and tan celebrities.
What?
Not in my California. Where I live we have more eucalypus trees - less palm trees. Not too much smog, but hella fog. Overweight, unfashionable working class people who actually work hard and enjoy a cool brew at the local bar. They don't hang out at the gym all day -only after work if they're lucky. This is the stuff that Hollywood avoids. No one wants to talk about traffic, pollution, and the homeless people that panhandle outside the BART station.
The poli-celebs - Arnie "The Guvernator" and even tall hansom Gavin are always speaking the virtuous rhetoric of their political genius. I swear Newsom's on the
radio every morning speaking to a jockey on a different morning show. (Hey, he's got a sexy voice.) But still . . . it makes me wonder - which California are they pushing?
Personally, I adore California. (I'm definitely partial to NorCal). But I think these ads for the travel bureau are a bit on the cheesy side. I think if they're going to show La-La-Land they should keep it real and show the hookers on Sunset Blvd. (Or at least Paris, Britney, and Lindsey.)
Represent, yo!
