Other than some traffic-choked highways and refinery odors, New Jersey is actually a beautiful state.But it does have an image problem.
So the state paid $260,000 to some consultants to select a new slogan for the state. They devised: "New Jersey: We'll Win You Over."
Not withstanding the $260K, the governor said it reminded him too much of when he was single and asked girls out on a date and so he nixed the proposed slogan. He decided on a contest.
One of the entries was: "New Jersey: You Got a Problem With That?" That didn't win.
The new slogan for New Jersey, submitted by a state transit worker, is "New Jersey: Come See For Yourself."
The guys in the photo went. They saw a really big fish. It seems to have made them very happy. Not as happy, of course, as the guys who pocketed the $260K.

I should've sent in my New Jersey entry:
"You wanna F@#$&%$ Piece 'A Me?"

easy there big fellow, the contest is over!!
mine would have been: "New Jersey: We Can Kick New York Butt"
I've spent considerable time in South Jersey -- amazing standard of living
I lived in Newark as a child for a couple years...moved from the Bronx, so it was a step down.
