The program began last month after Codey rejected a consultant's recommendation ? "New Jersey: We'll Win You Over" ? as too negative. That slogan, developed as part of a $260,000 contract by global image consultants Lippincott Mercer, was shelved a day before it was to be unveiled.

Are you KIDDING me? We paid $260,000 for a slogan that implies that there is something wrong with the state? WTF, I hope we got our money back.

I think we should steal "Memories Last a Lifetime" back from PA, because they stole it from one of the shore towns.

"Bring a noseplug" would make a much better slogan :D

I'm sure it was already suggested, but I'd pulling for "Shoobie/Benny GO HOME!"

Meh. Most of the state of NJ is very nice and does not smell. I had a friend come in from Michigan for my wedding. His first comment wasn't that the state smelled funny, he said "you have a lot of trees here."

Stop the propagation of New Jersey bashing NOW. People here whine and bitch about racist threads, yet "ROFL" about this sort of thing. There is really little difference. :|

A New Yorker once told me that New Jersey was the armpit of the U.S.

That would be Houston.
Newark, NJ is the armpit of the US. New Jersey on the whole is a marvelous place if you don't count the property taxes...

I was just kidding by the way. About the New Jersey bashing. I've never been there and hope it stays that way.

Either you didn't read the rest of the thread or it went over your head.
