This must be a difficult time for New Jersey. You see, in addition to finding out that they’re harboring the second most dangerous city in America (for the second year in a row), they’ve now got a traitor in their midst. His name is Joe Steinfield, and he is hilarious.

Well, I guess that depends on whether or not you live in one of his satirical regions of New Jersey and/or take offense to being lumped in with “Canadians and Philly Trash” (aka Wildwood according to Steinfield’s map).

well it's moderately funny.....

if you're not from NJ and sick of NJ jokes.....

ok, NJ residents don't look!!

but the rest of us can enjoy some chuckles.....

I mainly appreciate the political incorrectness of it all.... I’m so sick of liberal political correctness!!

[rmlew]

The creator is a liberal from the DEP.

[Enchante]

ok well he’s a bit of a renegade liberal.... or at least willing to make fun of his cohorts....

[Fresh Wind]

Lawyers driving hybrids. Yep.

Stereotypical copycats coming in 3...2...1

There’s gonna be a run on this kind of humor for awhile....then it’ll fade out, become consumed “old news”.

FR instance...an enterprising FReeper could make a similar map of the whole country, using Rush’s idea of conservatism, remember that ‘challenge’?

(endless humor possibilities - like venn diagram humorish)

[OL Hickory]

guys at work love this ..I asked a person where they were from....and the response was “pretty much alabama””....LOL

trust me.. this might hit a nerve cause it’s dead on!!!

That’s actually pretty un-PC funny. Why do Jews congregate in towns called Highland Park?

[spankalib]

Your tagline is great!

For 35 years I commuted from the “Pineys,Pineys Everywhere “ to “Gaudy Summer Homes”.Got out as soon as I could and returned to mountains of Pennsylvania.

Sounds pretty?
I think there have been enough Orthodox Jews there to haev an eruv for generations, so it is natural for Jews to stay.

[Stentor]

“Wildwood: Canadians and Philly trash.” HAHAHA.

[meatloaf]

I hung out in Ocean County for over ten years. For the areas I’ve seen, the map is right on.

I never really believed there was an actual New Jersey before seeing this map. Like most people, I simply assumed it was a place Plato made up to make some sort of philosophical point, like his allegory of the cave.

This one has been around for several years and is hilarious. “Mexico according to people who live in Mexico City.”

Not really.

There definitely are more Jews in Lakewood than in Hightstown.

[Focault's Pendulum]

There definitely are more Jews in Lakewood than in Hightstown.

Lakewood also has the largest Rabbinical College in the country.

What a rotten state NJ is.
