Could "Come to New Jersey -- it's not as bad as it smells" become that state's new slogan?


Remember "You have a friend in Pennsylvania" or "Virginia is for Lovers?"

Reuters reports here that, not to be outdone by its sister states, New Jersey is holding a contest for a new state slogan to replace "New Jersey and You: Perfect Together."

With a deadline of today, some of the suggestions:

New Jersey and You, Going Broke Together.
Come to New Jersey -- It's Not as Bad as It Smells.
You Pay, We Play: Compliments of NJ Politicians.
Welcome to New Jersey; Expect Delays.
New Jersey -- a State of Confusion.


New Jersey natives Robert DiNiro and Joe Pesci suggested "New Jersey: You Got a Problem With That?"

Personally, I always liked Joe Piscopo's line from Saturday Night Live - "You're from Jersey? What exit?"
