Stereotypical. (I can't type how I really feel about the map on a family friendly forum).

It is a poor depiction of NJ and many of which are very inaccurate. I would have to think that in today's world people would not stereotype different areas. Many people that see that map would think that is what NJ is about. I also think that many of the name choices for the areas on the map are very poor.

Oh, it could have been done to any state... and a person in that state would have been offended... but I think it its funny! C'mon, take a joke!

I would have the same stance if it was any other state. I am offended by the name choices that he chose. If this college kid makes snap judgments like the ones he has depicted, he is in for a rude awakening when he enters the real world. It shows his immaturity and an inability to look beyond the surface. A facade does not tell the whole picture, you need to scratch the surface to really get to know it.

I do agree on the name choices with you....

I hate to think what a Liberal Gun Haters Version of IL would look like. Or the Conservative Version of the Same State.
