NJ State slogan
 
The New Jersey State government has finally given up the ghost trying to convince tourists that we live in a 'Garden' and went to the people for a new slogan, amongst some of the less serious suggestions were:

New Jersey: It Always Smells Like This

New Jersey: Come Glow With Us

Bada Bing! Choose New Jersey

New Jersey: You Got a Problem With That?

NJ: How You Doin’?!

Most of Our Elected Officials Have Not Been Indicted.



Quote: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.

They finally went with "New Jersey- come see for yourself"

although "New Jersey-don't bother" would have been more appropriate. :)

I think NJ is a lovely state.... now I don't have to live there anymore :p

Great slogans though, they could all work. I personally call it the armpit of the US :) And I know there are worse places to live, but I'm glad I am where I am, for now at least.

You've got to love the irony of New Hampshire State prisoners making license plates that read "Live free or die" :D
