either because New Jerseyans--and anyone who's spent time exploring New
Jersey--know better.
If there was ever a guy who exemplified the phrase "can't win for losing," it's
Barry.
I guess it depends on whether you *dis* with a smile or a frown. BTW, I know
Delaware has only 1 *L*.*
I just don't understand how anyone can get their buttons pushed by someone
dissing the town or city or state or even country they live in. These places
are *places* -- they're not you. Overreacting to anyone dissing them strikes me
as almost as nonsensical and stupid as being "patriotic" about one's country.

When I think of Jersey, I think of Joe Piscopo, "I'm from Joisey. You from
Joisey?" My brother-in-law was from Trenton and showed me the sign on the
bridge over the Dellaware river that says "Trenton Makes the World Takes and
said it really should read "What the World RefusesTrenton uses".

It's the counterpart of Dutch people acting outraged because someone refers to
them as "cheap."
Seriously, we've known since "Jersey Shore" that people from New Jersey weren't
terribly smart. Did they feel the need to demonstrate that they don't have a
sense of humor, too? :-)

I'd be careful with the anatomical metaphors - because if NJ is, truly, the
anal orifice of the country, it is aimed straight at Europe, and I wouldn't
wish that on anyone.:-)

Indeed it should have. Totally false. Everyone knows that New Jersey is the

As well it should have!
Judy,
I'm just posting the latest trend in Yahoo news. Apparently, the ad caught a
lot of notoriety and flak from all sides.
