I heard about this on the morning news, and here it is on Yahoo:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051114/ap_on_re_us/new_jersey_slogan
“New Jersey: It Always Smells Like This!”
“New Jersey: You got a Problem with That?”
sniff! I’m so proud of my home state.
Any other suggestion?
“New Jersey: What are YOU lookin’ at?”
“New Jersey: Where the Bodies are Buried”
What? A New Jersey thread and we haven’t herd from Hal Briston?
Hmmm. OK, here’s one I’ve actually heard from New Jersians:
“New Jersey: It’s not so bad once you get out of Newark”
on the radio, i heard
Obviously the work of a jealous out-of-stater. Only someone not from New Jersey would say that with a Brooklyn accent.
and being from the state with no R’s, you’d be an expert? 
Honestly, tho, what’s wrong with “Perfect Together”? It’s a great slogan - why do they want to change it? Is it just a last gasp by the outgoing governor?
I love that one.
From the The Rolling Mills of New Jersey by (Roberts and Barrand)
When I die, bury me low
Where I can hear the petroleum flow.
A sweeter sound, I never did know

I’ve gone to too many Folk/environmental festivals.
Check the link a funny older song.

I’m Jersey born and raised, and I haven’t succumbed to the strange Massachusetts accent.
By the way – it’s a misconception that Massachusetts has no R’s — they just save up the ones they don’t want so they can use them in places nobody else would, like at the end of “pizza” or “saw”
(“Wheah’s Rogeh?”
“He was eatin’ pizzer.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah. I sawr him.”)
when I was little, my dad taught me to speak “jersey” with this little “poem” (for lack of a better term)
Toity poiple boids, sittin’ on a coib
choipin and boipin an’ eatin’ doity woims
Along comes Boit an’ a skoit named Goit who woiked in a shoit factry in Joisey
Well, when Boit an’ da skoit names Goit saw da toity poiple boids sittin on a coib, choipin an’ boipin an’ eatin’ doity woims, boy! was dey poitoibed!
(now, the trick is to say that very quickly - i’m down to 6 seconds…)
Pepper Mill knows that poem, too, and recites it frequently. She’s from Jersey, too. (Different exit, though)
But neither of us have ever heard anyone from Jersey who talks that way. Nowadays it’s hard to find Brooklynites that sound like that, but I’ve met one.
Get yourself a John Pizzarelli Jr. album with “I Like Jersey Best” on it.
NJ isn’t the “Armpit of the East” anymore?
Personally, I’d like to see them adopt: New Jersey: Sorry, We’re Full.
At least for the non-Pine Barrens areas.
**New Jersey – We Know Where You Live
New Jersey: The Gadarene State
New Jersey: Where New York Goes to Get to Ellis Island
New Jersey: Where the Martians Land
New Jersey: We own Park Place and Boardwalk
New Jersey: Because no one wants to gamble in New York or Pennsylvania
New Jersey: Good Enough for Albert Einstein
New Jersey: Because Michigan had to steal Edison’s Lab
New Jersey: Birthplace of CalMeacham**
From George Carlin:
"Kiss her where it smells. Take her to New Jersey."
Let keep them out of the Pine Barrens also. We need a little bit of undeveloped area even in NJ.
CalMeacham
Those were good. I vote for one that combines New Jersey: Good Enough for Albert Einstein and Edison.
New Jersey: Where the geniuses live.

Yea, but did they stay?
I didn’t think so.
*New Jersey: We got yer Jimmy Hoffa Right * Here!
This one’s my favorite
