Paul Jury has an interesting story behind his hilarious new video that has gone viral. Recently Jury graduated from college, but due to the tough job market out there, he found no luck getting work after graduation. This sparked him to have the idea of driving across all 50 states in continental US to do a five-second impression of the state stereotype.
Along with with the video, Paul Jury also documented his experience in a book called States of Confusion. He was a grad that had no place to go and this book was an awesome way to figure that out. The stereotypes are both true and hilarious. I hope someone does it for every country one day.
