Everybody wants to live in Jersey

A quick search of "Sopranos Intro" on youtube yields a ton of spoofs on the Sopranos intro. In the Sopranos intro, Tony Soprano is shown driving out of the Lincoln Tunnel from NY into NJ. Then he gets on the NJ Turnpike and drives down to around exit 13 or so, past all sorts of factories and refineries and warehouses and other industrial crap common in NJ.

Sopranos fans have decided to spoof Tony's intro drive by driving through their own cities and filming it. Las Vegas, Melbourne, San Francisco, Vancouver, Tampa, Baltimore, Fargo, Los Angeles, etc. The common theme amongst them: they all suck. Because there's only one Jersey. The Baltimore one comes close, since Baltimore is a rust belt area like NJ, but even that one just isn't the same. The San Francisco one was far and away the worst. The entire concept of badasses like Tony Soprano living in SF is laughable at best. Bah.

God, I love the Sopranos.
