A State Without a Slogan

Here we go again.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- 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."

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."

Personally, I liked some of the slogans I came up with. New Jersey: What's that smell? New Jersey: The Mob's Arlington Cemetary.
