Well, there aren't a lot of Californians that post on this site, but those of you who do have no doubt seen those horrible "Be Californian" ag commericals. Anyway, I was reading the newspaper a few days ago when I saw a blurb about an audition for the next set of commercials here in Sacramento. So, if I'm "lucky" I might just get to say "I'm a Californian" on TV and ruin my street cred with the homies.

the details on the auditions is on this page.

Hopefully this will be hillarious. I think that my dyed hair will give me the edge I need to be in a prestegeous commerical like this.

My sister went to Cali and she said that she got the impression that everyone there was full of shit.

I dunno. I think its a regional/cultural thing. My mother told me that people from other parts of the country get the impression that New Englanders are very curt. Its all a matter of perception, I suppose.

This thread was supposed to be about me being in a commerical. Anyway, I don't really like a lot of Californians just because the lifestyle here is so busy that people don't have the time to think of others. For example, when I go to the Northwest, people are a lot friendlier, unless they know that you're from California. But I'm from Northern California and we just grow tomatoes and make fun of LA and speak Spanish.

Do you surf a lot in California?

I'm heading out to Cali this August and all my presumptions will either be put to rest or not.

Oh, so you're visiting every town in California and polling random people?

SLjimbo · #11

Pretty much.

Or you're going to judge the whole state on how rude the waiters at the Tony Romas by disneyland are and how many times your dad's rental car gets cut off.
