New Jersey needs a new state tourist slogan. Any suggestions?
Here are mine.

  1. Visit the destination of Philly and NYC Sewers: Visit New Jersey.
  2. New Jersey: The Toll Booth State Welcomes You: Bring Money!
  3. New Jersey: Home of two New York football teams
  4. Kiss Her Where It Smells: Take her to New Jersey
  5. We Loves Our Big Gay Governor: You Will Too!
  6. New Jersey: Come Fascinated, leave radiated.
  7. Visit our fabulous suburbs: Experience New Jersey.
  8. Hackensack, NJ. . .putting Vegas to shame!
  9. New Jersey, why the fuck am I here?
  10. Visit New Jersey: The Mafia would love you!
  11. Visit New Jersey because Hawaii is expensive.
  12. Visit New Jersey's famous smokesacks in Elizabeth.
  13. Come To New Jersey: It's close to New York City
  14. Experience NJ Sports: Swim the beautiful Passaic River, fish our plentiful toxic waste dumps.
  15. Come to New Jersey, hey it isn't Alabama
  16. Beautiful Atlantic City: Just Like Vegas, just without the fun! Only In New Jersey
  17. Visit beautiful Newark: Get a free car jacking on the NJ Board of Tourism.
  18. Visit the best thing out of New Jersey: Interstate 95.
  19. New Jersey, hey at least you can leave.
  20. New Jersey: Yeah, I'm looking at you, wanna fight?
  21. New Jersey: Still better than Afganistan.. .almost!


I used to live in NY, now in AZ. Anyone else have anyone good ones. I am doing this because, according to the article New Jersey is barring sarcasm. Like nothing will hurt Jersey's reputation more than being Jersey.

For a good laugh, take a look at where the article takes place! PHILADELPHIA!!!! THAT'S IN FUCKING PENNSYLVANIA, morons! You can't even have a Jersey article in Jersey!

1. Folk musician John Gorka says:

"New Jersey is like Ohio...only more so."

But he also praises it for being a safe place to park your car if you live on Manhatten's Upper West Side.

And I miss the shore. :cry:

How 'bout: "New Jersey: It's not as bad as some people say" :shrug:

The shore, Clinton, Flemington, Lambertville... Funny how so many people are quick to bash, yet they've never set foot in the state!

16. Well bully for your Fraternity Big Brother.
Jersey is like any other state - there's good, bad and ugly. And based on your post(s), I'd say the same re DUers.

I've been trying to come up with an "exit" joke all day.
Seriously, though, you've got to love a state you can drive across in about an hour without hitting any traffic lights.

11. Years ago, there was a real contest
for a new slogan for the NJ license plate.

I sent in my entry:

'New Jersey: What Died?"

I didn't win, but I did get a nasty letter from some state official.

Ah, well...............

21. ''what died?''...seriesly..I keep coming back to read that, again and ....
again....laughing a little harder each time....approaching critical mass....help me

just imagining what would move a paid public official to respond to a submission like that......

ever seen the Laszlo Letters, your honor?

he'd have written back to said official, in hopes of beginning a 'rewarding' correspondence

13. New Jersey: Home of the Attitude
New Jersey: Who Farted? (I stole that one from Saturday Night Live :) ).

To be fair, I think we produce some good Democrats.
