California: Find Yourself Here.
Message: We are a state that inspired the classic Epyx sports video game “California Games” and elected Ahnold.
Compare that to the new I am Oregonian ad from Travel Oregon on Vimeo that keeps getting me all wistful during my evening couch sitting.
Message: We really like to drive cars, are a state that can look forward and backwards at the same time. We don’t need props to recreate. Except for cars. Oh, and we’re all ruggedly handsome with a poetic sensibility. Grrrrr.
The California ad does look a little slicker, and of course, has celebrities. But I must be an Oregon girl because I’m totally loving Travel Oregon’s new tv spot.
I wonder when Travel Oregon will put “our” ad up on YouTube so people like me can post it?

You can embed it. Is that what you meant?
