Are You from Jersey?

Poor New Jersey. As if the Sopranos tours and the bad smell weren't enough, their newest slogan--"Come See for Yourself"--can't be used because it was previously the slogan for West Virginia's tourism board. Of course, New Jersey has a recent history of plagiarism, being the home state of Kaavya Viswanathan. Nonetheless, even though the motto was the winner of a recent statewide poll, in which Jerseyites picked the slogan they liked best, it won't be featured in tourism materials until the state decides how to proceed.

It's too easy for us to mock the Garden state, so we'll let you guys do it instead. If you have a suggestion for New Jersey's new slogan, send it our way, to tipsATjauntedDOTcom. We'll publish the best ones at the end of the week. And if you're actually from New Jersey, make sure to tell us which exit in your email. We eagerly await your responses.
