Virginia absolutely furious right now

As a European, I don't get what this means.

Is an old emo song called Ohio is for Lovers by Hawthorne Heights.

Ahh, thank you!

Australian, have no clue either.

Born and raised in Ohio; I've no idea either (though I've been living in Japan for the better part of a decade now).

What I can say:

The extended warranty thing relates to robocalls trying to get one to buy some kind of (probably scam) extended vehicle warranty.

"Virginia is for Lovers" - slogan of Virginia (US State) and I think found on license plates.

This might be related to Ohio and North Carolina battling over whom was "First in Flight" (Wright Brothers), but probably not.

Thank you for trying to decipher it!
