Remember them? They're still running. And they're still putting out new ones. And the latest is more openly mocking than ever. See here (broken link) for the latest.

That's just terrible. I'm never buying another dairy product from California if I can help it.

I wont buy any dairy from CA to begin with. Their smug attitude and stupidity is reason enough alone.

I hereby propose a new WI dairy commercial aimed at attacking CA dairy farms... it should go something like this.

"Sweaty, anorexic, parched, smog-breathing, fire-scorched, earthquake shaken, mud covered, valley girl/surfer/gangbanger/illegal, overpriced, big-headed cows with low IQ's come from California."

Over in the Wisconsin forum, they had some suggestions for the Wisconsin Dairy Board for retaliatory commercials, including the following:
  • Cows running from wildfires.
  • Cows sliding in landslides.
  • Cows falling in crack from earthquake (though they actually do come close to that one here (broken link)).
  • Cows crossing road and being hit by Britney Spears/Lindsey Lohan/whoever is the latest debutard who can't drive.
  • Cows being benched by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
  • Cows passing out from heatstroke.
  • Cows brains melting from hearing surfers talk.
  • Cows getting lost in smog.

Ok I love Chicago and i visit there often since my dad lives out there. But I live in Orange County and visit Los Angeles a lot too. But what people from Chicago don't understand is that people from LA arent really how they are portrayed in shows and movies all the time. You think LA is smug yet you guys are the ones prancing around glorifying Chicago and then you bash LA even when its not even brought up. Grow UP. The Cheese commercials in California werent created by its citizens btw, but by large dairy corporations so i doubt you can base an entire population by a commercial. Also alot of Chicagoans think LA is so superficial and judgemental yet when they get off a plane and get on the freeway they judge like mad. "Oh this traffic is terrible", "(Driving through Compton) omg LA is such a gang ridden area". They base their opinions on first impressions without even seeing the city. It's pretty pathetic if you ask me. You say Chicago gets beat up alot on these forums? Not nearly as much as Chicagoans beat up on LA. Why? Idk maybe because it past its population 30 some odd years ago and Chicago doesnt like being third in the Nation in that category. Who cares.

Haha. Completely ignorant. Wildfires in the Central Valley? No. Landslides in the flattest place in Califorina? No. Earthquakes happening so often that its driving everyone mad? No. Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears are not California Natives. Heatstroke? Yea it can get hot in the Central Valley, but not humid. Cows raised by the beach? Haha nope. Lost in smog? Are you serious, if youve ever been to California youd know it wasnt that bad.

yea its sad how the perceptons chicagoans have on California arent true for the most part
or the "natural disasters" they think we live amongst dont really affect us the way they THINK

yet all the things we say about chicago are true such as being an overgrown midwestern city, bad location, bad weather, not much glamour


just pointing that out
