N.J. Scraps 2nd Slogan in Less Than Year
(Wow…hope they’re easier on state employees.)

New Jersey: We're Not So Good With Slogans.

The state has jettisoned "Come See For Yourself," its second attempt at a tagline in less than a year. It was the product of a statewide contest set up by then-acting Gov. Richard J. Codey last fall, after he rejected a consultant's offering: "We'll Win You Over." (Jeez…picky, picky, picky…)

State tourism officials said legal issues led them to scrap the latest slogan, explaining that West Virginia and other states previously used "Come See For Yourself." (Whoops…)

"We are proceeding without the slogan. We will revisit the next steps at the end of the year," Karen Wolfe, a spokeswoman for the state Commerce, Economic Growth and Tourism Commission, told The Press of Atlantic City for Saturday editions.
(No slogan? Oh NO! Dogs and cats living together – MASS HYSTERIA!!!)

Codey, now state Senate president, dismissed "We'll Win You Over" because he said it reminded him too much of when he was single and asked girls out on a date. (So maybe he didn’t like it because that line never worked for him?)

"Come See For Yourself" was the top choice among more than 11,000 telephone and online votes cast by residents for five finalist entries in the contest. Codey unveiled the slogan with great fanfare in January, saying the Garden State's catch phrase "should hint at our true beauty." (OK…how about “New Jersey – our women are gorgeous underneath all that eyeliner!”)

But at an annual tourism conference in Cape May County last month, the slogan was absent from all state promotional materials. The slogan is also missing from this year's tourism television commercials, featuring a song by rocker Jon Bon Jovi. (So what does that mean…during the part where the slogan should be heard, we just get a “beep”? Nice…really nice. Hope Bon Jovi got paid.)

Tourism officials said they won't pick from any of the four other finalists: "Love at First Sight," "The Real Deal," "The Best Kept Secret" or "Expect the Unexpected."
(I can see why…they all suck.)

So here are MY contributions:
1. “New Jersey – We Don’t Suck”
2. “New Jersey – Where Our Women Can Beat Up Your Women Any Day Of The Week And Twice On Sunday”
3. “New Jersey – Tollways to Paradise”
4. “New Jersey – Frank Sinatra Slept All Over the State”
5. “New Jersey, also known as Sopranoland!”

Now, on to the world of comic superheroes – and boy, I’m gonna have fun with this one!

Spider-Man Creator Seeks New Superhero
Fri May 5, 11:52 PM ET

The creator of Spider-Man and the Incredible Hulk is on the hunt for a new superhero, and he plans to find it on reality TV. (Yeah…that’s always the best place to look.)

Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee said Friday that his new reality show "Who Wants to be a Superhero?" breaks new ground. (Ah…this should be interesting.)

"I've never lived in a world of reality," quipped the 83-year-old writer. (You know, that’s really not surprising. Anyone who supports the idea that ALL women have bazooms the size of Rhode Island doesn’t have all the fries that come with the Happy Meal.)

Eleven wannabe superheros — whittled down from 200 — are set to compete in the show, which is scheduled to premiere July 26 on the Sci-Fi channel. The winning superhero will be the star of a new comic book created by Lee. (OK…I want to know how they’re going to do that…it won’t ruin the show for me if I do. It’s hard for me to imagine that anyone will make the cut in the first place, but maybe I’m a cynic. Either that, or I’ve been taking my meds regularly and I’m just fine.)

The reported catch-phrase for those who don't make the cut? "Turn in your spandex!" (Well…gee…you could actually walk through a grocery store and ask half the people there to do the same thing. What’s the diff?)

Well, based on this contest, I’ve decided that I’ll actually steal Jules’ idea from her “League of Super Bloggers”…BIPOLAR GIRL!

“Her mood swings propel her to great heights and depths, in her never-ending quest for truth, justice and a psychotropic medication that doesn’t make her feet swell. Don’t MAKE her late for therapy!”

With that note, I’m gonna be famous someday, I swear it. (I'm not going to use Hoss’ “make my pile” phrase, because I’m sure he'll beat me up if I do.)

So WATCH FOR SWOLLEN EGOS, y’all!
