51st State Rejected Slogans

California legislators are proposing that 13 counties south of Los Angeles separate and form a 51st state. This new state would be called "South California" and be comprised of the counties of Orange, San Diego, Fresno, Imperial, Inyo, Kern, Kings, Madera, Mariposa, Mono, Riverside, San Bernardino and Tulare.

Still, many of the details will need to be worked out including a new state slogan, as "The Golden State" would likely remain with California proper. Some early slogan suggestions, however, have already made it to the rejection pile:
  • SC Without USC
  • The Non-Hollywood State
  • The Real O.C.
  • We're Less Bankrupt
  • The Platinum State
  • Run For The Border!
  • Who Needs LA?
  • Conservative California
  • The Nearly Mexican State
  • We Welcome Mila Kunis
  • At Least We Have Pro Football
  • More Than Just The Zoo
  • We Miss San Fransisco (sigh)

UGH! This is as ridiculus as when So. FLorida wanted to become their own state and be called "liitle cuba".

But I must say... I love your rejected slogans. :)

Coffeypot: Or "Really South Oregon"

Julianna: I'd think they would call it "The Keys".
