NJ Needs Deo for it's B.O.

Ok, so anyone who knows my fellow blogger on this here blog knows where he's from. And any of these people familiar with the latest headlines should have already known what post was coming next on this blog. Therefore, in the interest of satisfying your curiosity and meeting all your expectations, I present to you the following news article:

Granted, this article was just a big softball. It's easy to take shots at my New Jersey friends when news like this hits breaks out -- even though my friends in particular aren't even currently in New Jersey, nor do they really smell all that bad. I mean, busting on them over how stank smelly their state is is almost as easy as busting on me for how stank smelly my team played last night. (My prediction: An Ohio State joke by the end of the day.)

In any case, I've created an e-mail account for all you well-wishers and advocates of personal hygiene to send me your pledges so that together we can buy our New (Not "Jew") Jersey friends some deodorant and make a difference for the sake of everyone's sanity and sense of smell: SaveTheSenseOfSmell@stinkystate.com.
