Tournament of Roses Parade Accurately Depicts California Reality

Pasadena, California's annual Tournament of Roses parade awards trophies for various categories of engineering and artistic floats. Although often flights of fancy, these floats sometimes accurately depict life's hard realities as well.

This year's Governor's Trophy winner, "California Girls", entered by the city of Sierra Madre, was given the award for the best depiction of life in California. It's depiction of California was so realistic that it broke down in the middle of the parade and had to be bailed out by a Government Motors truck.
