New Jersey Launches Campaign to Fix Soiled Image

The “Jersey Shore” juggernaut has gotten so out of control that it’s prompted the launch of an official face-saving campaign says the Philadelphia Inquirer. Called “Jersey Doesn’t Stink,” it’s attempt to reclaim the Garden State’s maligned public image, one that, according to historians, has been ridiculed since colonial times. Throughout history, the Garden State was thought of as “the little stretch of rural land between Pennsylvania and New York.” Decades worth of jokes about the state’s unsophisticated residents are almost identical to those you hear today. On the site, the public is encouraged to post testimonials about their wholesome childhood memories and sign form letters protesting shows like “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” and “Jerseylicious.”
