I'm insulted that everybody thinks that Angelinos are such tools when it comes to personality!
My personal feelings aside, I'd just like to point out that fake people have colonized every major city- not just LA -and that the perhaps the progressive (or just different) attitude in California in comparison with the rest of the country may lend to the general misconception that fake people here are more fake that the ones in other states. I can attest to this, being a native Angelino currently going to school in Manhattan. "Hip" New Yorkers who labor to read Dostoevsky on the subway in order to look intellectual are just as fake as bleached-blond, tanning-booth brown, wanna-be actor Angelinos are.
