California, I love you, but sometimes you embarrass me. While you haven't had anything Blagojevich-esque occur of late, I don't think you've done anything lately that you can be proud of. Why don't you go think about that for a while.

The Miss California Debacle

Widget_d2nihi_fxhnlqu6ant_qlv

Is it me, or is it just a tad hypocritical for someone to talk up their values while topless pictures of them are circulating on the internet?

I feel like Miss USA Competitions are alwayws drama… they’re all cokeheads, skanks or tards. I think it’s their schtick.

It’s so true! Well I guess you have to do something to keep yourself occupied while you’re NOT eating.

Palin-Prejean 2012

Widget_dqljr0wu9d0lhh6ykpz0ww

Maybe Prejean could be Palin’s VP when she runs for president in 2012. Would that be a winning ticket, or what?

Makes you feel slightly nauseous, huh?

Sinbad Adkins and Dionne Warwick

Widget_bqhgncxm9faldxdb5m_xav

Apparently the singer and comedian owe the state of California a combined 4.7 million dollars in income taxes!!! All I can say is WTF.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger

Widget_alfzop_rler5mbk44iemfx

And he’s been our governor for the past 6 years! What’s with California and electing actors into public office! (Was Reagan not lesson enough for you people?) On the bright side I guess we can all be happy that old Arnie can’t be elected president.

Hah-hah!! With our budget shortfalls, looks like the drugs our elected officials have been taking are anything but performance-enhancing!

Did you forget that Arnold was a barbarian, a superhero villain, and a pregnant man before he was a politician? Rent some flicks to jog your memory.

Manny Being Manny

Widget_c8dopaovlgnioj_ymzcllt

Come on now Manny. We welcomed you to Los Angeles with open arms, we put your face on billboards all over town, we even made Dodger hats with fake dreads for crying out loud! Then you go get yourself all juiced up. Is this what they call a “Manny Moment”?

Dodger Stadium

1000 Elysian Park Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90012

Where you can see Manny after he fully “recuperates.”

Widget_c3kcdknpxfnooz7jhtwlfs

Telemundo TV reporter Mirthala Salinas admitted to having affair with the mayor after the mayor announced that he and his wife of 20 years were getting divorced. Salinas was suspended from her job, while the mayor just carried on with his mayoral duties. What is this, France?

Danny Pang: California's Bernie Madoff?

Widget_bzafaascrnjlbjavemcf2m

Former financial manager Danny Pang is being investigated for a running a life insurance Ponzi scheme that defrauded investors out of millions of dollars. To add insult to injury, Pang lied on his resume (claiming to have degrees that he didn’t) and the murder of his wife (who used to be a stripper) remains unsolved.

COME ON CALI!!!

The State is Sort of Bankrupt

Widget_dl9y3xwrdggagupfqpiga8

What?! We were spending money we didn’t have? That’s just craziness! Or extreme debt, depending on how you phrase it. In fact, the state is SO poor that they’re proposing to sell state landmarks for cash. Now do we have any takers for San Quentin prison?

Proposed Violent Video Game Law

Widget_a3ssthambn4ivuhtxuqnpl

A while back the Governator signed a bill that would forbid the sale of violent video games to minors. Because everyone knows some of the most violent crimes are committed by overprivileged kids who play shoot-em-up games on their Wii.

Best Buy

2909 Los Feliz Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90039

Exercise your constitutional right and a give a minor a ride to Best Buy so he can buy some violent video games.

This California city is America’s 5th dangerous city. Good one, California, good one.

This I have to agree with. Stockton is an embarrassment.

I know we should love Stockton just the same, but somehow I just can’t.

I think that definitely speaks for itself!

Huell Howser

Widget_d9_e53hyxmtl6mtycphaqz

TV host Huell Howser isn’t really an embarrassment to California. I just find him incredibly irritating.

Our Air Quality is So Bad It's Embarrassing

Widget_bhcrjsalphvbdz7oknlksf

Recently, the American Lung Association flunked 32 California counties in its state of the air report. Looks like public students aren’t the only ones who are failing around here…

I alone look at LA’s smog and go “Ah, California. I love you.” Also, you have palm trees. Palm trees!

by elijay  05/15/2009

That’s so funny. You know, I’ve never been much of a palm tree person. But that just might be me taking them for granted!
