Your state has yet another stereotype

Why can't Ohio's stereotype ever be "Our rivers catch fire!"?

 

[Emrys]

Florida needs to include "snowbirds".

Aren't most "snowbirds" also "old peeps"?

 

[CrimsonSoul]

Haha so true I say yes sir and yes ma'am to people I don't know lol

*looks for NJ*

goddammit....

 

[Wasabi Poptart]

Fucking Snooki. Grr.

Most but not all.

 

[Officer_Charon]

A good portion of snowbirds come to the SAV, too. It's disconcerting when you see 5 cars in a row with Ontario or Quebec license plates...

 

[Krisken]

New stereotype same as the old stereotype. Ah well.

 

[Tress]

Whoo! Life of the party!

*chugs beer*

 

[Baerdog]

Is it really a stereotype if it's true? Because AZ's is totally true.

 

[Dei]

Now come on, that giant SNOW over Colorado should totally only be over the Rockies.

 

[figmentPez]

Is it really a stereotype if it's true?

Yes, stereotypes can be true. At least, to the degree that any simplified model can be.

 

[Baerdog]

I'd always thought of a stereotype as a statement with a grain of truth that's been blown way out of proportion. If the statement isn't blown out of proportion its just...truth.

I don't get the PA one. Cheesesteaks reign only in the Philadelphia region. The rest of PA is Redneck-Bumblefuckville, USA They don't do cheesesteaks in Pittsburgh for example.

 

[Hailey Knight]

It's one of those "how other states see it" things; nothing to do with accurate representation.

That said, having never lived there, I associated PA with the Amish, not cheese steaks.

 

[Covar]

Fashion Bloggers?

 

[Charlie Don't Surf]

Fashion Bloggers?

That makes no sense

 

[Baerdog]

That's why its a dang stereotype.

 

[linglingface]

My fav fashion bloggers live in Texas and I think one of the Carolinas... But i can't say I've ever said to myself "man those Carolina peeps sure know how to dress AND BLOG!!" what a random stereotype...

There are a lot of fat people here... although I've seen a whole lot of fat people elsewhere, too.

Mississippi is the fattest state for 5th straight year. Alabama is #2, Tennessee is #3 and and Louisiana is #5. This being based on percent of the population that is obese, as recorded in the CDC's data. Which is odd, I thought all these "fattest city/state" articles were based on less objective standards, like the ratio of public parks to donut shops.

NJ is in the top 10 slimmest? I guess those jersey shore body-building freaks are actually good for something.
